To test out my theory of problems when capturing in computer, I use my old sony camera that is not a HdV and the footage wasn't taken in HDV and still the picture playing from the tape to the TV as well as through the little LCD monitor on the camera is better than what is showing on the...

Yes, it is set to down-convert to output...but still I don't it shouldn't be that much of a difference though. When it is playing directly to the TV, is it still down-convert you think? The picture looks much better on the TV than pass through my computer and play on the TV as a DVD.

Many thanks for the responses. Machine specs. Dell Precision 670 OS Hard drive: 80GB 72rpm Capture Drive: 320G 72rpm RAM: 3GB CPU: 3.6Ghz Xeon Video Card: Quadro FX 4400 Software: Avid Xpress Pro HD And yes, I only run Avid to capture footage. And no, I do not have a production monitor. But...

I have read from a couple of forums and people seems to agree that capturing using FireWire will make an exact copy of the video from the tape to my hard drive. However, in my experience that is not the case. Even when playing the footage from my Sony HVR-Z1 to the computer through FireWire, it...

Many thanks for both of your responses. I will give that article some reading. So the answer seems to be that don't shoot in the cineframe 24p but instead shoot in 60i and if I ever wanted to convert to 24p, it is possible with software conversion and still have the same effect as a true 24p...

What are some of the best broadcast monitor in the range of $1,000 to $5,000?

What is the best way to shoot the moon whether it is a full moon or half? I always wanted tp shoot a full moon but couldn't figure out the best way to do so. The camera I have is a Sony HVR-Z1U.

I have a Sony HVR-Z1U and shoot some footage in HDV format with 24p. I capture the footage into Avid Xpress Pro HD with down convert from the Sony camera. Then export from Avid as Quicktime Reference and convert the file in ProCoder into .m2v format and use Adobe Encore to author the DVD. The...
