HDV -> HDMI -> capture into a new codec
HDV on tape -> HDV on disk -> software transcoding to new codec Both involve 1 transcode. I guess there is an extra step in terms of time, but not in terms of quality. |

What are some codecs that can be used with the BMD Intensity card?
I know it comes with a JPEG codec, but I am not sure if that is the bast way to go. If you had the choice between Cineform and BMD, which would you choose? |

Pardon my confusion here – but is everybody talking about exporting via HDMI *after* being recorded to DV tape? As far as I understand, once the signal is record to tape, it is compressed – and there is no going back. How then can you get an uncompressed signal (from the recorded tape) via HDMI if it has already been compressed? Or perhaps I don’t understand this correctly. Thanks -- |

Ideally, you would avoid HDV all the way but, next best option is to at least avoid it in post where there is a lot of work done to it. -gl

So why not capture (from DV tape) via firewire with something like CineForm Intermediate codec? What is the advantage of using HDMI? Thanks |

-You *can* bypass HDV compression by capturing directly to the computer via HDMI in either Cineform, BMD's utility or even PPro. -In post, you can capture full-frame video (1920x1080) directly (Prospect HD can do this but at a higher cost). -You can monitor via HDMI output to an HD Set in PPro. I think the advantage is certainly greater for PPro and FCP users. For Vegas users, tell Sony to open up a standard architecture. -gl

I use FCS and it's great. I've never used HDV on my MacBook Pro, but I've done it on Mac Pro's and it works perfectly. It looks great to. If you have a mac or you can afford one, get FCS.

My question would be then for field and nature videography is there a recommendation for a field hard drive that would record all this info? it is economical, uncompressed and better quality

So far the most realistic option for capturing something less compressed than HDV in the field would be to use a Panasonic HVX200 with a Firestore hard drive, but that may not be realistic if you're recording many hours at a time.
