I recently did a 2 day shoot and the Unit Production Manager chose to put the main footage on an XA-H1 Canon HD Camcorder. It records to miniDV cassette tapes and now that camera is busted (the firewire connection is blown.)
I am trying to find a way to transfer the footage to a computer so I can get it to the editors.
I was told by a guy at the video rental company that the recording deck they have won't work because we did the footage at 24 (vs 30.) He said I could rent one of their HD cameras for $150 a day - but I'd need a firewire connection.
I'm wondering if there are any other suggestions, or cheaper alternatives out there?
Anyone got any ideas? I'm in San Diego.
Thanks!
