Best Blu Ray Writer
HD Camcorder?
I’m planning on getting an HD camcorder and need some help.
Can you mention some good camcorders in the market right now? *about 1000$*
Which format is best, i heard that everytime you open a video from hdd camcorders it loses quality. is that true?
Also, is there a big enough loss when burning to dvd that it would be better just to buy a standard camcorder? Also would it be so much better to get Blu-Ray instead? Are blu-ray writers going to go down in price any time soon?
How can i hook up a Dvd Player for widescreen movies? How much hd video can you put on one dvd?
How can i hook up my computer to show hd video on my tv, all it has thats close to hd is something called HD15?
If i save an HD movie onto my computer, can i put it back on my camcorder to view it on my tv?
Where can i get my movies burned to bluray, and how much will it cost me? Or can i get them burned to HD DVD and how much do HD Dvd Players and writers cost?
thanks
Canon HV20, HV30, Sony HDR-HC7, HC9.
In your price range, HDV compresses least – resulting in best available video quality.
Video compression = discarded data = reduced video quality. Hard drive and flash memory hidef cams that save using AVCHD compress a LOT. The video is still better than standard definition DV, but there will be degradation as compared to HDV.
When burning hidef to a standard def DVD, the resulting playback – while standard def, is the clearest standard def you’ve seen – presuming the HDV capture was good. I suggest putting the DVD player in “progressive” mode and connecting with component cables to an HDTV… if your DVD player has those options.
BluRay writers will start to drop when they make more – but at the moment, they are pricey – I like the external one from LaCie…
A standard definition single layer DVD is supposed to be able to hold 120 minutes of standard definition video. But the menuing takes space… so figure 110 minutes of standard definition video. This is compressed a lot – and the disc can store 4.7 gig. A double layer 8.5 gig DVD can store 240 minutes (theoretically – more like 230 minutes – remember the menuing). 60 minutes of standard def DV will use 13-14 gig of hard drive space…
60 minutes of HDV stored on your computer’s hard drive uses 44 gig of hard drive space…
You won’t fit much hidef video on a standard def disc. Even if you could, the standard def DVD player would not know what to do with it.
If you look at the BluRay blank discs, they start at 25 gig – and get bigger. Even if the burners come down in price, the discs are still really expensive – but they do hold a LOT of data.
A DVD player can play widescreen – if that is how the video was encoded. Standard def can be 4:3 or 16:9… hidef is always 16:9.
If your HDTV has a VGA port (like my Panasonic does), then you can connect the computer with that. If not, you need to add something to the computer – like a component video out card, I guess.
I have never heard of someone being successful exporting video back out to a hard drive, flash memory or DVD based consumer camcorder – then connecting the camcorder to a HDTV for playback… on the other hand I regularly export my finished 1080i projects back out to my Sony HDR-HC1 miniDV tape based high definition camcorder and connect it to my Panasonic HDTV with component and audio cables for playback – and it is AWSOME.
Since HD DVD has been abandoned by the manufacturers, I do not recommend going that route…
