If you look more closely, you'll see that Dells are miussing a lot of little things that don't get mentioned. I have some friends that swear by Dells, but they don't put demands on them either.

I had to get an expensive camera firewire repair to recover HDV footage. My new AVCHD camera has a REMOVEABLE memory card which can be read in a $10 card reader. It's the only way for me.

I tend to cringe when I hear the term FILMMAKER, especially when many are no even using film. It's like calling a WRITER a PAPERMAKER. I like MOVIEMAKER or maybe MOTION PICTURE PRODUCER better. ...

My Panasonic SD5 instructions state that AVCHD cards can be played on Pany TH-50PZ750U and TH-58PZ750U TVs. Keep in mint that AVCHD is not just a file type, but a complete folder structure. And...

I had to do an expensive repair to an HDV camera to repair the firewire to salvage tapes I had already shot. I am now a BIG fan of removeable media that does not rely on the health of the camera. ...

I got Studio 11+ at Best Buy for $50 a few weeks ago. It still had $100 on the box, but rang up at $50. Got to read those Sunday Adds!

I just put together a Q6600 PC, and I can easily overclock to 3.0 GHz. Just trying out Studio+, but seems to work OK. Bruce, are you saying you have 2.4 GHz? Try overclocking.

I have an SD5, and I'm pleased with the color. I try to go with the fixed, but have been happy overall. Nothing even approaching the green issues mentioned.

I have had an SD5 for a couple months, and it works fine on some "cheapie" 2G cards from Toshiba, PNY, and Sandisc. I recently added 4G class 6 A-Data ($18.95), and Transcend 8G class 6 ($37...

I think the slowest cards are type 2 (2 MBYTES/sec), which translates to 16 MBITS/sec. I have used the cheapest 2G Sandisc cards in my Panasonic SD5 at the highest quality, which is 13 Mbits/s. ...

There are BIG differences in players (even in the players within editing pgms - Ulead). I have 3 GHz P4, and most MP2 players work fine. It is somewhat sluggish playing AVCHD, but smooth...

David,

Just remember -don't go over 10,000 feet with the HDD. It will crash! An air cushion keeps the head off the spinning drive - not much air up there.

Hi Joseph,

You need to do some research (and experimenting) on MPEG2 encoder settings. As a general rule, you'll need about twice the data rate of MPEG2 to equal the quality of AVCHD.

I had firewire go out on JVC HD10, and was left with no way to capture. With memory cards, if you smash the camera, just take out the card, and put it in a $10 reader.

I downloaded the trial, and got choppy playback in a small window of downloaded M2TS files from Pany and Sony. When I press the Convert button, the program crashes.

Not good!
