Hey thanks for file.  That is very helpful.  I was hoping AVCHD would use a xml based meta data file like the Sony EX series of cameras.  I guess we may have to do this the old school way of searching an entire folder and sub folder to create an internal list of video clips.  Maybe that would be best anyway since other AVCHD ...

Ok here is the thread for the status on the AVCHD tool for Liquid that is yet to be titled.  As you can all see I have decided to go forward to see if this can be done.  I cannot guarantee 100% that it will work but I will give it my best.  I have run a very crude test and can get the video to transcode in about realtime on my el ...

I see no reason why they couldn't offer it.  After all the student version comes packaged exactly as that.  All they have to do is price it at a commercial level. Perhaps Avid doesn't want to do this however due to the complaints they may get for the program not being able to do certain things like DVD authoring.  Personally I ...

Don makes an excellent point.  Nobody here including myself is saying that MC isn't a good NLE.  We all know it is very good.  The point is however that most of the Liquid users here don't even pay $2,500.00 for one of their cameras let alone a NLE package.  It isn't really an issue if they feel it is worth it or not but that ...

but how many people really want or need those extra tools?  Sure if you were in the market for some nice design tools it would be a nice deal.  There are also a bunch of open source tools out there that don't cost people a single penny and a lot of people just have no desire or need to use them.  I have been trying for years to get ...

moodman: LewS: moodman: Smetvid: Panasonic also makes a HMC40 camera that is very good and very low cost at the same time.  It also uses 21 mbits/s which happens to be the average with 24 mbits the peak bitrate.  I noticed on Panasonic's site this quote: '' Panasonic offers a free transcoder that will convert AVCHD files to ...

mmyers:And to be a little more on topic, I get the advantages in storage and transmission for AVCHD. But the only thing in the computer world that seems to be deviating from Moore's law is processor speed. I have a brand new i7 box sitting right next to a P4 and yes it's faster, but not jaw dropping the way the P4 was against a P3. On the other ...

http://www.dvxuser.com/articles/article.php/25 Here is a comparison between raw AVCHD and 35 mbit XDCAM EX mpeg2 video.  This test is very fair because it used the raw SDI feed to an external AVCHD recording device.  This way both samples were recorded from the same camera source at the same time.  You couldn't ask for a better raw ...

Panasonic also makes a HMC40 camera that is very good and very low cost at the same time.  It also uses 21 mbits/s which happens to be the average with 24 mbits the peak bitrate.  Personally I have not been very impressed with the HMC150 camera from Panasonic.  It has what I like to call a very hamburger look to it.  Ironically ...
