It’s not the exact same problem but the other day I was using MPEG Streamclip and when converting out to ProRes (tried both Normal and HQ) I got a green line down the whole left side of my footage. I am using version 1.9 and converting from M2T files. Anyone else experience this?

Hey Chris,
Yes, sorry, I am referring to the JVC HD100.
The ‘mic pres’ specifically on the JVC HD100, very noisy.
Line in from a good mic ore is better of course, still thin to me though.Johnny C

When I look at footage from SD60p and HD60p from the JVC there is a definite difference. If you strictly look at the ‘numbers’ that’s one thing but comparing picture to picture is a totally different story. I feel that so many people knock these cams (JVC) because of the numbers without looking at the picture. For the price both of these cams are great, I prefer the JVC.

Hey Chris,
I really like the HD100 but the audio blows.
Usually I record into pro tools through a Vintech X73i and a Rode NTG2 mic on set.
This yields great results. I also record into the Cam to sync up the audio later. Depending on the straight audio from the camera is really risky anyways, specially if someone is paying. The general rule of thumb is that people will watch just about anything (quality wise) but if it sounds bad they will tune out or turn off much faster. Good clean beefy audio is a must.
Like you said the headphone amp is very hissy, whatever though headphone amps in general are always noisy. I’m still waiting to test drive the AJA IOHD on set to capture straight to ProRes using the HD250. Through that you can hook all your audio gear and sync as well.
Sorry for the rambling, hope this helps.Johnny C

Rich,
Very glad to see that you solved the problem. Good work!!Johnny C

Make sure that you have the latest QT installed.
If it sounds good through the FW ingest then something is up with your chain into the Kona. If it still sounds bad through the FW ingest then make sure your equipment/software is all up to date.
I personally dislike recording audio to the HD100 cam. I only use it for syncing purposes. I had a similar problem with the DR100 ruining the audio, but the audio on the tape was clean… hmmm.Interesting problem, please let us know what you come up with.

Hey Jeremy,
What is your current setup going into the IOHD? Computer too?
Just curious about what’s been working for you.Johnny C

Hello Mark,
It’s hard to say but it sounds like a computer issue.
When I try to play footage (720p60 HDV) on my powerbook i get all kinds of studders and jumps but not on my Tower. Just make sure your Hard Drives and Memory are up to snuff. I’ll look around for likewise issues.Johnny C
