Michael,
yep.

Can someone do the converting job for windows users? I will provide files in QuickTime movie format. Also, I guess Barlow Elton will do the still job.

According to my information at DV expo, you will only be able to use a firewire only based ipod or other [powered] external firewire hard drive with the HVX. I have a third Gen ipod (which should work) and I have the latest 60gb Video iPod (which is only USB and will not work).

Once all of this footage is collected....being that I have dialup internet :P and cannot download clips....
...maybe it would be awsome to get a dvd compiled with tests of the HVX/H1
for all of us who are on the fence.

Kaku. don't worry about the PC side; the Windows side will get taken care of, we have some very talented windows user who can do this.

When you use iPod for backing up from P2 cards:

As Barry mentioned, it is necessary to format iPod to make it work. I have all the songs in the iTunes on the macmini that I use as player/preamp for my audio system, so I didn't even think twice, just formatted it. As I mentioned previous post, it worked great in the field, then now I came back to my workshop and connected the iPod to my G5 via firewire, each backups if the P2 card showed up on the desktop as "unnamed" volumes.
Then boot up the FCP5 and do the importing just as you would on P2, then each volume showed up in the P2 card importing window same way as P2 cards. So, this way, you don't even have to take out the HVX200 out of the bag to capture!! No need for deck or cam to do the capturing!! This is huge.

I will do the DVD mpeg2 test for sure for you who are on the fence. Since it is my concern to provide my clips as SD-DVD contents. :)

Thank You Kaku. SD conversions are nice and or raw 1080 clips from both cams burned onto a dvd (or DL dvd) for copying to the mac would be equally great.

have fun!

finished bringing in the footage.

I got some great footage. Some would be uploaded in few hours.

Hi, Kaku... First and foremost, thx for everything in advance...

Then, as I intend to use the HVX200 for film out, I am mostly interested in 1080p clips with motion and, if possible, fast shutter (100th of a second and above).

The settings that you used for recording should be useful as well (I believe that it appears as metadata in the mxf files)...

And last but not least, I would be inmensely grateful if someone takes the time and makes the effort of converting Kaku's footage into WMV, since, at this time, it's the format that best works for us PC users.


That's all! Thx for keeping the good stuff coming!

Kakugyo HVX200 Clip #1 Yugo's cellphone whip, it's a new BMX trick!!

So far, only workable with MacOS.

This clip is so great. Yugo starts the sequence, starting with manual then bunnyhop with touch of rear wheel whip.....but watch his pant pocket and because of previous crash, his pocket is ripped. His cellphone slides out and he ends up whipping the cellphone with his peg. Continue to watch how cellphone falls in 720p and crash on the road.

This is shot with 720/60p with defualt preset, Auto Iris.

The link does not work.

Maybe Chris has to change the file access setting. Please wait for awhile until Chris says something.

I don't think it's possible to have a link to file in the title, or is it?

No, I don't think so either.

I'm doing this for now so maybe when Chris makes the files downloadable then paste the links in each post. So, people can have better understanding how the footage is shot in what setting. I think people in U.S. are still sleeping because of the time difference.

Ahh... now I get it.. well, I can wait a while longer. There won't be a PAL-version for another 3 months so there's no rush... :)

Thank you Kaku. The files aren't up yet, but I greatly appreciate you taking the time to put this footage together for us.

I somehow get this image in my mind of a nest full of baby birds all cheeping and jostling madly with their mouths wide open waiting for some poor harried mother bird to come buy and drop them some HVX footage.

Or at least that's the image I get after having a few drinks tonight.

Thanks Again!

Brilliant! Thats perfect, thanks and cant wait! hehe. Only thing now is we need direction on how to get native untouched footage viewable (workable?) on a WinXp system :).

Yes, how can we view on windows?

I will see if there's anything in our HP workstation with Xena card inside would be able to read the file. We were building a DecklinkHD based system on WindowsXP for a corporation, but it's taken to the client already.
We don't have Canopus nor Avid system that works with DVCPROHD...I think...does Mojo work with DVCPROHD? We do have Mojo.

My apologies for my bad timing... I am away from my office, currently in Kansas visting my dad (this is his dial-up account). I have no way to access all of the FTP stuff for moving, re-naming files etc. This will have to wait just a little bit... I might be able to take care of this from my in-laws house in Dallas tonight. Sorry about the delay. Seems like all the cool stuff happens when I'm away from my desk.

Ok this is pure torture... I have been pressing the F5 key for an hours to see the link... Now you telling me I'll have to get to work and think of this all day and hope you got internet by then... It too much ;)

Imagine how I feel, stuck in southwestern Kansas on dial-up on a foreign computer, unable to do anything about this. Might be best if you try to get some *cough* work done today. Heh. I'm working on a solution. My cel phone doesn't even work out here. My dad lives way out on the high plains, the real "western frontier" of the U.S., I feel lucky just to have net access at all right now.

Thanks Chris,
hopefully your in-laws can hook you up.

I was also hitting F5 over and over and over and........................

When I have cel phone service, I'll call our webmaster and ask him to take care of moving the files and making them publicly available. Should take no more than a couple of hours (yes, hours people) so please be patient, all you I-want-it-now types (and yeah I know just how you feel).

Kaku, I can give you another FTP to upload to, and the files will be directly available on the web for download. It might cost me a few $$ of bandwidth to send it to all the users here and dvxuser site, but it a small price to pay. I got 400mbits available bandwidth on this pipe, so user will experience fast download ;) so will I hehe

Ok let try to do it at 100mbits FULL, just in case we have 1GigE or faster users over here ... I dont have QoS setup so I dont want to affect my other services.. I'll setup mirror of other big HVX200 video I found, so people know im not a fraud hehe

You don't need to press F5. Just subscribe to thread and then you get an e-mail when it's changed.... And btw... we have waited more than 6 months for this... 6 more hours won't kill us... :)

I posted one clip on my site, xtream.ne.jp.

As soon I can get my hand on a clip, I'll mirror it here : http://hvx200.moctel.com/ in the production folder

I'll put up there also all other nice hvx200 clip I can find.

Please make sure to write the credits.

I will, it will take some time to get them downloaded at 100kb/sec. Thanks alot for posting it out

I got them but I can't figure out how to run them on a Windows XP. Can the codec be downloaded somewhere?

Thanks Marc.

Frederik, how about QuickTime 7 for windows? I'm not sure tho.

I got QT 7.0.3 for Windows... I can play the sound but there is probably a video codec needed...

I believe that the only option right now for pc users is avid xpress pro hd... There's a dvcprohd codec on the avid site called something like dv100, but I believe that you need the avid xpress soft to use it

otherwise we need the footage to be transcoded to either h.264 or wmv, preferably the latter

Ah, ic, windows version does not include DVCPRO HD codec.
What about looking into Blackmagic desing software codec?

I will covert them to H.264. That's easy. I can make two Quad G5s to do the Qpower transcoding while I'm out for shooting.

You're kidding?
We waited all nite to see this great footage and now we can't because we need special software?
unfair, i tell you. I want to see that 720p60 footage of Kaku kicking his cell phone with his bike. I bet that looks awesome! I'd like to see some 1080p24 movie-motion-like footage as well, since that will be one of the main uses for this bad boy.

this sucks to be at the mercy of MAC users. *smile*

Kaku, thanks.....you're the MAN for doing these tests for us! (seriously)

I tried the Black Magic but I guess it only layers on avi-files? I am looking forward for that H264-clip.
