Resolution 1440x544 after grabbing video to PC?

Dear all,

I am newbie to the HDV standards and so on. But do not know if I am doing the right thing:

1) I have connected the HV20 to the PC over firewire and transfered the HDV video to the HDD with Ulead Media Studio Pro 8.0.

2) When I played the captured MPG file with the WMP and looked in the properties it has resolution ONLY 1440x544? Shouldn´t it be 1440x1080?

Is it OK? Did I make any mistake anywhere?

Thank you for any advise...

Use a newer application. The version you got is 3-4 years old I think, a time where it wouldn't support HDV well (did it even exist?). I have written about cheap non-professional NLEs here: http://eugenia.blogsome.com/2007/06/...g-conclusions/

MSPro does HDV well enough thank you, not perfect but certainly better than you imply. I wouldn't call MSPro a cheap non-pro NLE on its own board either :)

I would think the problem is more in the poster's WMP playback, sometimes it doesn't get the non-square pixels right, or might get confused re interlacing etc.

Try using Videolan's VLC player instead, or latest version of WMP, or inspect the properties in MSPro8 itself.
I capture and work w/ HDV fine from a Canon HV10, I'd love for mspro to edit M2T native or do scene-splitting (which vegas only did in later patches), but it works ok so far.

I haven't tried its pro version, I tried Ulead Plus 11 -- and I wasn't impressed by the feature set. Now, this Pro version might be better, but it's also 2-3 years old, which might account for early-adoption bugs.
