Thanks, Dominick
I appreciate the comments. I did not take any measures to change the video. I will run a test clip through Apple COLOR and see if I can enhance the quality.

I will give that a try tonight and see how lights around the water look. I would rather test it now and now when Saturday comes.

I use idvd on the Mac to make SD dvds
I found that once I get the program produced, I make a QT movie and load it into iDVD and let it make the conversion for me. The stuff looks great. You might give that a try.

Erik I loved the video
I really enjoyed the Halloween video. Would you be so kind as to share the settings with me for that light? I will enter them into my EX1 profiles.

I will give that a try. I have had to do all the gain in post and it comes out grainy. Also, I can't get much of a picture to begin with when shooting, everything strobes!

I am flying the Ex-1 Sony. It is had to balance to begin with, but I agree with you on loosening the springs a bit more. This time when I had on the vest, the camera and rig did not feel as heavy and...

Good point , Danny
The video sounds like a good investment. I think your comment about the unit going wild is what I needed to hear. My expectations were to have this perfectly balanced system. It is fair to say that...
