    HVX - Simultaneous SD/HD recording?

    I'm not even sure if this is something that would serve anyone's interest, or if it has been discussed in the 3000 posts in other threads on HVX. But, has anyone seen lit. on whether you can do an HD recording to P2 while also doing an SD recording to tape? Because moving HD images might be a...

    DVX LCD Issue - What the?!

    Okay, just enjoyed a nice day using the DVX. Actually refrained completely from using the LCD as I was on a strict battery budget. Tonight, after using the camera to batch some footage, I flip open the LCD finder for the first time in a long week to find that it only displays white. Hmm...

    Politicians seek to regulate cable and satellite broadcasting...

    Is everyone here following this? As a community of people who create content, or will in the future, I'd like to know what DVXUser members think of the drive to regulate pay-for-service cable program providers like HBO. Would ratings be enough? Does the FCC have a place in regulating what we...

    Apartment 202 - SDX Feature...

    A director friend from San Francisco is about to exhibit his first feature film this week. It was lensed on the SDX - though his earlier stuff was all PAL DVX100. I worked on a short called Lost & Found with Kelleth Chinn two years ago - it has since gone on to win awards in festivals around...

    Okay, so how much did American Dad suck?!

    It was as if someone took every device used in Family Guy, made it unfunny and then made it even less funny than that by making it suck. The talking German goldfish and spew-spewing alien, FG rip-off kids and indulging wife - give me a break! Even jokes at the expense of the GOP and W were not...

    The Skinny on Squeeze...

    Okay, I know this has likely been tackled here a million times, but my search of the archives didn't get me a complete answer to my question... When shooting in Squeeze, is the full image gathering area (every available pixel) used? From what I've read here, it seems that the full chip isn't...

    Kitbashing Your Own Gear...

    Does anyone here mfg. their own gear? Not necessarily for distribution or sale, but just for their own use? We decided to build our own pistol-grip / shockmount / windjammer for our documentary last summer. After some consideration, we purchased the AT shockmount through B&H and built the rest...
