Please can someone please tell me why in the 1.6 beta version, it won't recognize the HD100? It won't let me name clips either. When I capture these things finally, what settings do I use to edit in FCP? What Pixel size, what codec settings do I use for maximum quality? I can't capture more...

Will someone please tell me what kind of firewire cable I need to connect this camera to a computer? Where do I get such a cable, what is it called?

Does anyone know how to save user profiles onto the memory card that is provided for the camera? How does one capture footage to the computer once one has lumiere HD and is working with a mac G5... What kind of firewire cable is necessary? What's the specific name...? What about that ghastly...

OK I just got my HD100 and I set it on 24 p turned off motion smoothing started recording some footage with it and IT'S REALLY Staccato and NOT SMOOTH! It DOES NOT look like a film frame rate!!! What's going on? Can someone tell me why it doesen't render properly? It says HDV-HD24p but it's...

How does one edit HD100 footage on a mac with FC5. I tried searching for relevant posts and found nothing particularly helpful. I heard that lumiere HD is the only option at the moment... is that correct? What is the process like? Will Final Cut Pro support this camera natively ever? I heard...

If you're editing on say on a Mac G5, and you have Final Cut Pro and you've shot a 24 p project with the HD100... how does one actually go about capturing editing and putting the footage back onto tape? I hear FCP doesen't support the HD100 right now... surely some people are ediiting on macs...

I heard if you capture straight off the camera as opposed to some JVC video deck you lose a significant ammount of resolution/quality... is this true? Is it really significant?

Are you DPing with the HD100 on a music video for the band Stars? I noticed you linked us a while back to some nighttime test footage that was for a project called"Your Ex-lover is dead". To my knowledge the video to that song has not been released yet, I was just wondering if you were involved...

Am I understanding this correctly? An Anton Bauer Goldmount will work with other types of batteries like IDX, SWIT etc.? Or do I have it wrong?

If I'm editing HDV and I want to convert the 16:9 Product into a traditional more cinematic 2.35:1 ratio... what should I do? I tried creating a new sequence with that kind of proporton and then dropping the previous edited 16:9 sequence into the 2.35:1 sequence but the 16:9 only occupies a...

Ok, I'm about to finally purchase an HD100... trouble is the battery... like I've said before, I'ma need this thing on looooong shoots. The anton bauer thing seems like a ripoff... seems like it's just about 2k to get an 8 hours worth of shooting time with them... I heard about a deal with IDX...

I get that the P+S Technik is pretty expensive... but what about the red rock micro? Is it possible to use say Nikon prime lenses with that system? Beside the red rock micro unit and lenses what would I need to get? I hear that they're not the most reliable company. That they take up to eight...

The beautiful stuffs Mister Nateweaver are producing is with rented cine lenses with P+S Micro 35, yes? Or is Misters Nateweaver using other lens, like SLR lens with P+S Micro. Nateweaver makes very good cinema images... how is the question? I want to get as good images but I have not a million...

What's the advantage of motion smoothing? From Mr. Dashwood's test I gather that the motion smoothing effect produces a rather unnatural, stilted kind of video like motion. With it off it seemed much better however, I have not yet seen the camera personally. What are your thoughts?

First a primer: "Quote: Originally Posted by themaestro Will there be a need for an extra adapter? I imagine the ring might not fit together precisely... How would one remedy this? That is what the custom mount is for. Have you checked out the prices? mini35: $7455 PLmount: $250 Nikon Mount...
