a couple of 25f questions
Hi guys,
I'm about to purchase an H1 50i version and wanted to clear up a few points. I want to either invest in a deck or a hard drive solution. I know the Sony HDV decks will not handle 24f or 30f, but is the same the case for 25f or am I lucky to be living in Pal land? Also, the Hard Drive solutions (Firestore/Citidisk) record HDV footage as mt2 files. I've been searching the net to try and establish what this means, but I'm still a little confused. I'm running FCP5.1. If I connect a Hard Drive with mt2 files recorded from the H1, can I import them directly into an HDV timeline, or do I first have to put them through a lossy conversion process? Any help much appreciated! |

Sorry, currently no Sony HDV deck can read Canon Frame mode, regardless of frame rate.

Thanks Lauri,
After more research I've discovered that for FCP you must use a conversion program called MPEG Streamclip which is a real pain in the neck: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macos...treamclip.html |
