Sorry to hear about your dis-satisfaction with the 200. It really is a great camera. As far as reference materials- check out Barry Green’s HVX200 book and the HVX Bootcamp DVDs.
Also, check your scene file setting. You may have something cranked up too high.

Just out of curiosity what is your hard drive set up? Please say you are not using the same drives as your operating system!!! Also, are you working with SATA or fw400 or 800?

Rafael,
Since we don’t know what version of QUICKTIME is being used my suggestion stands. Since he is editing on FInal Cut Express chances are he’s not working with the latest QUICKTIME. Also, he’s not looking to edit the QUICKTIME he want’s to export and view on his Mac. Therefore the green line is not an issue.

Go to your exported QUICKTIME file. Hold down the apple key and than the letter J, This will open up a window that allows you to make adjustments. Click on video track and than “visual settings”. Uncheck “preserve aspect ratio”. Put in your 16:9 settings. For example 1920 x 1080. Re-check preserve aspect ratio. Than close the adjustment window. Close your quicktime window…when it asks if you want to save changes click yes. Reopen your file and you should be good to go.

You can always duplicate one of the pixels on either side of the dead one and move the duplicated one in its place. It’s not perfect but it works.

I’ll ask you one question. Would you throw away your raw tapes? I think you would answer “no.” Tossing your mxf files/contents is essentially the same thing as tossing your tapes.

Dylan,
Thanks for the info. Sorry for the lack of knowledge here… but where would I find those items in order to remove them?
Thanks,

According to Jan Crittenden (known as the Panasonic Queen to some) and Barry Green (known as the HVX200 guru to many) the HVX operates internally at 1920×1080. All the other formats are than processed from there. For lack of a better way of saying it, the HVX down converts its native 1920×0180 in order to produce 720p.
A lot of HVX users feel shooting at 1080pA24 produces the highest quality images.

Lars,
I offer the hard drives to the clients however I underscore why it makes more sense for me to keep them. I’ve never had a client take a hard drive at the end of a project. They know there’s not much they can do with what’s on the drive. This in turn will lead to more business for me down the road because they have to come to me to get access to the material again.

Lars,
I look at it from the stand point of billing the client for a hard drive dedicated to archiving their material. The 64 gig limit really isn’t an issue for me. My system is based on 11 terabytes dedicated to external video storage. And on top of that I dedicate 500GB or 1 terabyte external drives as storage for each clients project. So for me, 64 gig cards would be ideal and would serve me better than my 100 gig Firestore.
