The A1’s picture right out of the box is flat and I suspect Canon does that for some kind of purpose. If you want to get the best performance out of the A1, custom presets are what you should check into. There’s another forum site that has lots of info regarding this but I can’t mention it here unfortunately because I’ll get sent to my room without dinner :-\

Nicholas, what Sony told you holds water… there’s no way firewire can separate audio bits from video bits in the data stream. There’s gotta be something on your end. Something as simple as not having audio active when in the record tool? System specs? It could be anything. I also know a few that have the same deck and they don’t have these issues.
Terence, the deck that replaced the M15U, the M15AU has 24p support also, as well as being able to playback Canon’s 24F modes (or so I’m told)

Define “cut off” please.

In my eyes, the A1s at the very least is what the original A1 should have been in the first place.

Maybe there’s a current workaround with Avid I don’t know about now, but Avid hasn’t had support for Canon’s frame modes for years.

In your compression software, simply set the 16×9 flag. This should display full screen, proper aspect ratio on a widescreen monitor or a 4×3 monitor (letterboxed)

I forgot to add… you can buy a used HV10 or 20, or a new HV30 to use as a source deck and also you would have a fairly decent backup cam.

That’s not a HDV camera… so no, you can’t use it as a HDV playback source obviously.

If you told us the name of this encoder, would you have to kill us? 😀

This is asked quite frequently and the answer never changes…
There’s no “quality” difference, the data is the same. The only factor is using a high grade tape will greatly lessen the chance of HDV dropouts.
