My XH-A1 - Artifacts - Still Mediocre Quality - Maybe cuz of OLD laptop?
My problem:
- I never get crisp clear quality.
- My pictures have some artifacts in them.
- This goes for SD and HDV
- The captured HDV footage is fine when I look at it. After the rendering is whe the SD and HDV are wierd.
What is my Setup:
- I shoot in HDV 24F 2:3 Pulldown.
- My laptop is OLD. Toshiba, 1.6 GHZ, 512MB, 80GB. Could this be the problem idk?
What is my procedures?
- I make sure my XH-A1 is shooting in HD, 24F.
- After I finish recording I connect it to my laptop.
- I use HDVSplit to capture my footage.
- I use pulldown.exe succesfully
- I open Sony Vegas, and import my footage.
- I render mpeg 2, NTSC HDV 24p.
- I also downgrade it to SD to see how it performs. DVD Architech 24p NTSC Widescreen Video Stream
- I have used AVI for windows before, but it is even more terrible quality.
My Video Samples:
XH-A1 SD 24f, downgraded from HDV.

In Conclusion:
You see these films at film festivals, online, on DVDs; they all have good quality footage. No distracting pulsing pixels/artifacts ect. I know it isn't my XH-A1, and we had a discussion like this quite a while ago. Maybe this time if I can provide you guys with more extensive information (sample clips/procedures) you might be able to help me better.
btw.. I know.. I have had alot of problems recently. Murphy's Law hit me pretty hard. I can't help it.
Just remember, at some point in the past, you guys were all in my noob shoes
