Mick
I'm finding that the EX square pixel 1080 HQ codec seems to downscale to a better looking SD image (DVD, Flash, etc.) than I get with HDV source.

That was my thinking as well. I'm not doing anything unusual in post, but there will be color correction, graphic overlays, maybe some slo mo/fast motion, etc.

I did get that error message the very first time I put a SanDisk card in the camera. I think I just removed/reinserted the card, rebooted the camera, etc.- finally the EX1 recognized the card and...

I don't have any personal experience with 24 fps to DVD. I suspect that you will need to convert to 29.9 with 3-2 pulldown somewhere in the chain because I believe the DVD format usually requires...

Procoder 3 works very well, but I have found that with Cineform 1080x1440 source files, the Cineform compressor does the best job of rescaling the CFHD image to standard def 480 avi. So, I always...

Jack
I am always baffled by this topic. So many people get such different results trying to do the same thing (HDV>DVD).
I spent the better part of a month a while back trying to pin this down and...

Ingesting everything to CFHD as 1920 30p seems to work great. Does take a little more time for HDV capture and convert, but working in 1920p, with the ability to export and compress to...

Try shooting the pan at 1080i and see if the jerkiness disappears.
To me, it always looks a bit "jerky" when I pan in 24p particularly, and less so @ 30p.

I have been disappointed in the V1 slow motion mode. It's fine for analysing your golf swing, but for a video production I get far better results slowing down regular HDV footage in After Effects,...

I shoot a lot of bright ocean/beach/coastline scenery. It works for me to shoot with Zebra 2 @ 100, using Cine 1 and stretched blacks, and to actually allow the pure whites to "blow out" a bit. If I...

I'm curious as to why you shoot in 60i then deinterlace for 30p editing, rather than shooting 30p to begin with?
Thanks
