I've just been shocked viewing raw footage from a second unit "b-roll" shoot for a documentary that I'm directing/writing. I was with the photographer on location when the footage was captured in a downtown area an hour before sunset. He was using Sony's high end XDCAM PDW-F800 disc camcorder...
I just shot a continuous interview that lasted 1hr. and 20min. I recorded the footage onto a Sandisk 16GB 30MB/s Extreme SDHC card in the camera's Slot #1.
When I ingested the material into Avid MC5, I noticed the footage was broken into three files, even though I did not stop recording at any...
