[Nathaniel Bear] ” What is the HVX205a and the HPX175? How/are they different from the 200a and 170?”

GREY MARKET. Avoid if possible.

[Nathaniel Bear] “Are there any major differences between the two? The only one that I have found is that the HPX170 does not have a tapedeck”

They are virtually the same. Do you need to shoot to DV tape? If you want a lighter, solid state camcorder, go with the 170.

Look at AJA’s website and compare all the specs between the LHi and LHe. Look at the connections and pick the one that best suits your needs now and for the future.

Matrox and Black Magic also offer similar capture i/o devices.

[Brad Wright] “Any particular reason you went from the EX1 to MP4 to Final Cut X when Final Cut X will support the EX1”

They are using Final Cut Express. The “X” in Xpress can be confusing.

December 10, 2011 at 1:26 am in reply to: Datacode: is it possible to show the information about Iris, shutter speed, focus etc..

It depends on the camera. When I used to use DVCAM, I could see all the information after I shot. Now I shoot with P2 and information such as shutter and iris do not show up. I can see all the obvious, Time/Date, Frame Rate, Format and any other custom metadata I entered.

I completely overlooked your post. I read the first and scrolled to the bottom. Sorry.

Get it out of iTunes and search h.264 and FCP 7 and ProRes for the answer.

If it’s too much work, keep it in. It blends right in with the garbage on the right side of the shot.

Burn the DVD and look at it on a TV monitor not your Computer monitor. Judge from that not your preview from DVD SP.

So many people with very different suggestions. Some workflows work and others don’t. To create an SD DVD, use this workflow.

Export your timeline using Export QuickTime Movie. You will have the option to create a self contained movie in it’s native format. If not, you will be creating a reference movie.

Drop that file into Compressor and find a DVD 60 min. MPEG-2 preset. You will also want to create an AC3 file for audio. For exact instructions on settings look in the manual (HELP tab).

Hit submit. When finished, open DVDSP and create your DVD.
