hey guys, I'm looking at the Sanyo E1 and the Panasonic SDR-S10. I see that they encode the video in different formats, Panny in mpeg2, Sanyo in mpeg4/h.264. Which of these formats is better supported by editing software? Are any, or both, supported by Final Cut Express or iMovie, because it's...

Okay, first of all, I'm posting this here because I considered this sufficiently different from the topic of film-making to be "Off-Topic". If it's not, I'm sorry. Is there anyone who knows about this cam., or better yet, has some uncompressed footage? I've heard that the video quality is so-so...

I just got a new video journalist job and they equipped me with a Canon HV20. The final product is going to be distributed on the internet so I don't know why they dropped the extra money on HD cams, but I digress.

Will a LaCie 480Mbps USB 2.0 external hard drive be able to keep up with video capture? I would like to use this hard drive instead of my computer's internal hard drive. I would be capturing with a laptop from a camera through 1394 and recording on the external hard drive through USB 2.0. Will...

Hello, As you probably have guessed, I am new here. But I have just finished my first project using Avid Free DV and I was really disappointed with the compression included in the software. I was wondering if it is possible to offload an uncompressed video from Avid and then compress it with...
