Of course!
But, do you know how to call for him?

[walter biscardi] “They’ve also announced a new one which will be a single tray that plays everything. BluRay, HD, regular DVD.”
Sounds good….
But, our issue is that fact that burners are just now coming out and finding players isn’t an easy thing in the Memphis area. Take a look on the net… There’s not much choice out there that is somewhat reasonably priced.

I will jump on the band wagon with you, Walter.
We finished a small budget feature a few months ago in 720p DF. There was some footage that was shot 1080p that needed to be added. My timecodes changed to NDF also. I spent almost three days working on this issue before I came to the same conclusion. This made working with this a real nightmare, but we trudged through it and made it work.
Hey, APPLE! We are asking for help with this!

[gary adcock] “The Adult industry brought us the VHS and DVD formats and since the Blu Ray commission will not allow adult content to taint their product line, many people have voiced this opinion.”
I must say that I have to applaud the BluRay Commission for their efforts, but, it is a shot in the foot if you want to get a format off of the ground. History does show that the adult industry does make or break a format.
As for the format wars in general, myself and my co-workers all seem to feel the same way. If you want to get a format off of the ground in today’s society – why isn’t HD-DVD and BluRay burners more readily available?
I know they are just coming out BUT this isn’t completely new technology. Its been around for a while. XDCAM is now about three years old. That is the first implementation of BluRay. HD-DVD has been in Apple’s software for more than a year. This is why people are so reluctant, I think.

THAT’S IT!
Jerry has got it!
Exactly on all points. This has been my only issue with ProRes. AJA saw this issue and solved it for us from the start. No one else has even considered to tackle ProRes. Thanks, AJA!
Jerry took the time between edits fro fill in the gaps!

[walter biscardi] “Too much conversion. You’re going to take HDV, convert it to ProRes to edit, convert it back to HDV when it’s output to the Sony MU15 and then convert it again to beta.”
Oh my… I agree. Let your capture card do the conversion for you, if needed. Then make an HDV copy ONLY as a backup, if you need.

[Shane Ross] “So I captured with my Kona LH as DVCPRO HD.”
This is the best overall workflow when HDV. This is my personal experience.

[hdfilmmaker] “bring it in a ProRes timeline??? is that the best use of HDV “
I’d capture it as ProRes, not using HDV at all. That will get your video into a 422 signal as compared to the HDV 420 signal.

[Shane Ross] “I hear that they SOny HDV and Canon HDV formats are similar, so the Canon tapes play on Sony Decks, but I don’t have first hand experience with this.”
My Sony rep told me this, too… So far, he hasn’t steered me wrong.
Let me say that from experience, HDV is great as long as you don’t work in HDV. Its too processor intensive for me, and that conforming thing on output is a waste of time.

Personally speaking… we use DVCProHD for broadcast airing.
While ProRes422 is absolutely awesome and stunning, but it does take twice the storage space of DVCProHD. If you have lots of graphics, ProRes is the deal!
