I've been testing the various HD options in S12.1.  Files imported are .mov and Mpeg2v.  I'm looking for an end result of a sharp large WEB image that is easily viewable for most people.  I have been using .wmv 720 HD lately.  Not sure about it.  Ignorance mainly.  I do have Sorensen Squeeze for ...

I'll butt in here just for a moment.  Twice I have had the 'non-recognition of camera/firewire' problem.  Both nearly ended it for me.  The first was a  bug in my motherboard.  Replaced and problem gone.  On another computer that this happened on, I took my video card, firewire and camera to Best Buy to test and ...

I put my Contour HD on Ebay.  It's pretty useless to me, but a very good product.  You can't just return it to the factory and they adjust it back to normal.  You wait for the new one and work it out some way.  I'll probably buy the new one in the spring, HD is the only way to go.  I did find out something.  ...

I bought a helmet cam because a camera attached to my bicycle in any configuration is going to show shocks and vibrations.  I put 30-50 miles per day on my bike and periodically get some great shots.  I also tape triathlons and marathons.  Hopefully the helmet cam will live up to expectations.  Mine is water resistant ...

No, nothing is wrong.   A few years ago some guru told me that since my video is for the web, go the DV conversion route.  Most people do not have the graphics card to handle HD.  Edit in DV and when you want to go to HD, go ahead and compress the file that way.  It's not real HD, just a step better. When ...

That really is big.  Thanks for the chart.  It's going to take awhile to digest. While I have you here, when I import older model Sony HD to my computer software, it is automatically converted to DV.  The new cameras are importing the footage as HD.  Is that because the new .mp4 is able to contain the HD but still remain a ...

You are probably right. That passthough feature is in all five of my Sonys so I am ignorant about other models.

Maybe not, but the five that I have do.

I don't worry about bandwidth, and I've gotten a lot of positive response using higher rez which means it looks sharper in a larger player window.  I have a question.  Does the term HD just mean more file info (Higher rez) or do they do something else to make it look better?  If so, that means that anything over 2000k is ...

It's all pretty Greek to me.   I'm going to have to do a lot of testing.  90% of my stuff is for the web.  I offer different connection speeds of Dial-Up 500k 1000k and HD(720i) with my clips. Example: http://www.e-webvid.com/65TV_09HickoryGroveTriathlon_1000k.html  The hemet cam stuff will be mixed in with the ...
