Hello:
I have a question!
I'm sorry if it sounds dumb.
when shooting tape less and you want to start recording how is the hard drive activated, also is the camera still logging tape run hrs.
Is there less wear on the camera its self using the DR-HD100
O.K GUYS be nice now don't pick on a old man (HA HA)
Thank you
Joe

P.S will the DR-HD100 work with VEGAS 6.0

How is the DR-HD100 hard drive activated?

Set the DR-HD100 unit in standby mode. Do this by pressing the DR-HD100 "rec" buttion. Newer models will blink back and forth between red and blue to let you know it is waiting to record. When you press the record button on the DR-HD100 unit again the hard-drive will start to record. Or, you can push the record button on the JVC-HD100 and activate the unit through the camera.

When in record mode, the "Y" in the viewfinder is solid. When in pause the "Y" will blink.

There are three record buttons on the JVC HD100. You can set which one you want to roll the hard drive and which one you want to roll tape. Not a requirment. Many will simply want tape and unit to record at the same time.

Is there any less wear on the camera?

Yes, if there is no tape in the drive then there is no tape wear on the heads. However, the fan or operating time on the HD100 will still be logged. The JVC HD100 has two "odometers". Fan Hours and Drum Hours.

SONY VEGAS?

I'm a Final Cut Pro man. The DR-HD100 converts the native .M2T file to a quicktime file ready to import into Final Cut Pro. It's awesome.

Vegas handles mpeg transport streams very well, I would be surprised if getting the files into it would be difficult.

Hello:
got a question.
Went on line to B&H to check out the price on a JVC DR-HD100 60GB.
B&H the price is $1399.95

Then i check out PROFEEL same item, (i think a Focus Enchancement Firestore 60gb
$1099.95
The only difference was on the 1 Spec was

Profeel saids
Video -DV:25 Mb/s,8-bit 4:1:1 (ntsc-dv)the rest of the specs are the same

B&H saids
VIDEO- DV: 480i/p, 8-bit 4:1:1 (NTSC-DV)

Are these units the same?

and do you think the $1099.95 unit will work with my 110u
I have done business with PROFEEL before they are very good
It would be nice to save $300.00
Thanks You for your help
Joe

This thread will tell you all you need to know from the most reliable sources:

http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthrea...t=JVC+DR-HD100

In summary; The functionality and recording settings are the same for both SD and HD. Quicktime clips option available for 30p and now 24p. (personally I'm hoping for 200 series 60p QT support soon!).
The advantages of the JVC branded DR-HD100 are communication with the camera. You get mode and time remaining in the viewfinder (which could prevent a costly mistake right there!), the drive can turn off with the camera, to save batterries, and you can set it up for seperate tape/drive recording with different buttons on the camera.

For shooting in high-pressure complex situations these features are probably a no-brainer. Several people have adapted to shooting with the more basic Focus Enhancements branded equivalent model. It will work.

Also, the drive size is a big cost factor. If you are comfortable with hacking around, several people have installed larger drives themselves successfully (max 120gb), and there are instructions in the "tapeless" forum here on dvinfo. Of course, this would void a warranty....

Joseph,

Here's a little tutorial I threw together last year. This now also applies to 720p24 and 720p25 with the latest firmware (v2.1.x)
If you are not using Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 or later to edit, then you will have to record your footage as m2t in the HD FORMATS menu.

Joseph A. Benoit · May 31st, 2007, 07:16 AM

Tim:
thank you for all the info, this shows it is true

(A PICTURE IS WORTH A 1000 WORDS)

So the only diffrence for me will be the m2t setting being that i use Windows and Vegas. Is this correct
thank you
Joe

Joseph A. Benoit · June 4th, 2007, 07:55 PM

Joseph A. Benoit · June 6th, 2007, 01:46 PM

Hello:
