What's good codec to save my HD projects with? For SD work I've been using DV50 and I've had no issues. I'm talking about 2-20 min videos. I have my masters in uncompressed animation codec but the file sizes are gigantic. I don't want to use DVCPROHD because I want to keep things at 1280x720...

I have one of these... http://cooldrives.com/esata-usb-enclosure-removable.html Selling it along with five (5) drive trays. Great for backups. (3 trays pictured) Great condition works just fine. Got a multibay system, don't need this one anymore. Originally bought for $180 with the extra...

I remember seeing a bracket that goes around the handle of the camera and gives you some mounting options other than that dinky screw hole that's on the cam now. I can't find it, anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks...

Just thougt I'd share these as well. I have a Pro-Gripper Quad from http://www.vfgadgets.com/Pro_Gripper.htm. Thing works great and priced ok at $500. You can see my first project using it here. HVX looks great mounted on a car! :D http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=90088 You...

I occasionally still shoot with my DVX as B Camera with my HVX setup. For the most part they match up well, though the whites on my DVX get blown out a lot. Lowering the iris just darkens everything. I've messed with the settings but can't seem to pinpoint how to keep my image generally the same...

A while back I was planning on getting an external monitor to use on shoots. I was really tempted by that nice 21in Gateway with the Fujoura (sp?) chips and stuff though I opted for the Marshall instead. I can't seem to find the Gateway anywhere, seems it was discontinued. Looking for something...

Anyone recommend something to keep my bare drives in? Right now I just keep them in anti-static bags in their boxes. I'm looking for something a bit more accessable and elegant. I'm thinking perhaps a Pelican case or similar. Any thoughts?

I really don't know what to make of this but I've never been able to get a good DVD using Compressor 2. Anytime I use compressor 2 for large projects (60-80 min) My DVDs are riddled with dropouts, glitches and just don't play in many people's players. I've had issues in the past so for the past...

Hey guys... just thought some of you might enjoy this. It's a video I put together for Don Murphy's site, he's a producer on the new Transformers movie coming out this summer. We do an awards thing every year, hence "The Spammies." :D You don't have to watch the whole thing, but take a look at...

I'm looking to get some good sound effects to use for a project I'm working on. Will involve some car shots. Car speeding by from various angles, as well as car mounted shots and shots from other cars. Looking for a package somewhere where I can get the basics, drive bys, engine sounds, tire...

I've recently began noticing a lot of "hum" in my editing setup. I'm looking for some good filters to run some of my gear through. I've used ground loop isolators from Radio Shack in the past and they work ok. Wondering if there are better options. I have everything hooked up to a TrippLite...

I've got a bunch of batteries between my HVX and DVX, I only have the two chargers. In most cases I have been fine and have had plenty of time to charge everything before a shoot, but now I have the Marshall w/panny battery upgrade and even more batteries. I'm looking for chargers. I've seen the...

I wanna mask off my Marshal so I can frame in 2.35:1. Does anyone make something like this or should I just make something myself. I'd rather not put tape on my monitor or anything like that. Something like a snap on face plate would be great. I suppose I could make one out of black posterboard...

A teaser trailer I made for Transformers... YouTube Link! Rightclick save as please...:D QuickTime (high) 12MB QuickTime (low) 4.8MB Windows Media (high) 11MB Windows Media (low) 4.6MB QuickTime 7 HD 27.8MB Windows Media HD 27.8MB

I was shooting some stuff for an upcoming music video and was really impressed by the results. I mean it's really nothing to speak of at the moment, I meant the blacks in particular. They came out really clean considering we were shooting at night. It looked really noisey on my monitor while...

2.0 TELE-CONVERTER HVX200 - Schnieder Optics http://www.schneideroptics.com/Ecommerce/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?CID=1074&IID=5905 Anyone have one? I'm thinking about it. The 1.6x is a bit cheaper.

Anyone here about these... http://www.4lots.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=193 http://www.4lots.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1008 http://www.4lots.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=8 I'm looking for something to power a laptop and external drive for location...

Yeah, so all the clips on one of my cards won't playback out of my camera. The numbers of the clips on the HVX LCD screen are in RED as opposed to BLACK like the clips on the other card which are fine. I was able to transfer the clips to a drive and then into FCP, however there is no audio. What...

http://www.cooldrives.com/esata-usb-enclosure-removable.html I'm thinking of getting one of these and stocking up on 250gig drives for backing up my HD footage. Yay? Nay? I was using a usb adapter with ata drives but I just fried the board on one of my drives. I acciidentally plugged the...

Yeah...so I just upgraded FCP to 5.1.1. I've shot a bunch of stuff in 1080P 24PA and I can't get the pulldown out of the footage. The checkbox on P2 import seems to do nothing and the Remove Advanced Pulldown option give me an error. What gives?
