Hard Disk Recorder Advice
I'm thinking about adding a hard disk recorder to my HD-100 and I'm curious what you guys would advise regarding the DR-HD100 vs. the new Firestore's and other brands out there.
Best bang for buck? |

The DR-HD100 has the following advantages over the FS-4: 1. Status in the viewfinder/LCD monitor - you can see in the viewfinder how many minutes are available on the drive, and you can see what mode it is in. This assures you that the drive is getting a good signal, and that it is rolling when it's supposed to. I think this is really important to know! 2. Power Management - when you turn the camera off, the drive will shut off as well 3. Split Record - allows you to program the camera so that one start button will roll only the tape, and another start button will roll only the drive. Some nice features that are worth the small difference in price. Regards, __________________ Carl Hicks JVC Professional Products Company

Another Question about Firestores:
Can the firestore record to 480p while the camera shoots to tape in 720p or vice versa?

Keep in mind that the Focus FS4HD-40GB DOES NOT give you the following functions, which the JVC DR-HD100-40 DOES give you: 1. Status in the viewfinder/LCD monitor - you can see in the viewfinder how many minutes are available on the drive, and you can see what mode it is in. This assures you that the drive is getting a good signal, and that it is rolling when it's supposed to. I think this is really important to know! 2. Power Management - when you turn the camera off, the drive will shut off as well 3. Split Record - allows you to program the camera so that one start button will roll only the tape, and another start button will roll only the drive. 4. Quicktime HDV for 30p, MXF, Avid OMF and Pinnacle AVI support. 5. Retro Record modes so you'll never miss a shot. 6. Scene Marking which allows clips to be categorized into prenamed folders on disk while you shoot. 7. Uer definable time lapse and loop playback modes. Some nice features that are worth the in price.

Is it possible to play a tape in camera and record back onto the DR-HD100? I was thinking of using this option if possible for backing up to a rev drive for archival (record to HDD then copy the M2T files to either a back up drive or REV drive)

Anyone had any problems
For those that already use the hard drive recording systems, has anyone ever had any problems with missing files, missed shots etc. or does everyone still roll tape at the same time? Just curious, thinking about going this route but wondered about the consistency and the firewire plug.
Thanks, Brian |
