Hi it is my understanding because I can record longer with 720 p that the file size when imported and converted to quick time would be smaller than if I shot in 1080 60i.
I ask this because recently, I took an HDcam tape of mine in (transferred at Rainmaker from 35mm film) to get transferred to DVCpro HD 1080 60i so that I could edit it on my own system (FCP). The first time they made a 720 p copy instead so I had to take it back it to get redone to my specs (dvcpro 1080 60i). Curiously when I brought my hard drive home with the new dvcpro1080 60i footage, the overall file size (approx. 20 min. of footage) was the same as the 720 copy they had mistakenly made earlier (22.6 G). I fully expected a larger file size as the data rate would be higher. Am I missing something here? Do you think that they simply uprezed the 720p version? or?
I'm confused....in a previous post at this site, David S. remarked
One hour of 720/24p over 60 = 21.43 GBytes
One hour of 1080i/24 = 41.16 GBytes
which of course I would expect. Given this, I would also expect the same difference to occur for my transfer from HDcam to dvcpro 1080 60i compared to 720p.
