A little confused by all info and probably allready discussed a 1000 times, but can you shoot dvcpro 50 on minidv.
thanks
 
I'm not positive but I think you can't...well you can try and shoot dvcpro50 on tape, but in all probability you will not be successfull. There are any number of complex reasons for this but mostly it comes down to the fact that the engineers at panasonic decided that it was a bad idea because...because...okay so I'm not sure why the engineers made that decision but I think it has some to do with the weather, or maybe ergonomics.
 
Guys, with all due respect, I think perhaps we should wait for a confirmation from a duly authorized panasonic rep before snookering up information on the ability of the hvx200 to record DVCpro50 to tape. I mean, what if you're wrong? Such speculation can get people hurt. No one here owns an HVX or even has a manual. Think about it, why on earth would Panasonic offer DVCpro50 if it couldn't be recorded to tape? okay okay, maybe it's only for P2 recording, but maybe you CAN shoot to mini dv! or maybe you can shoot to mini DV but it just won't be recorded on the tape! I think there a lot of possibilities here and we should all hold our hoses until panasonic chimes in with an authorative declaratory statement. I'm just trying to be the voice of reason and sobriety here--kind of like Judge Judy.
 
It's been confirmed upwards and downwards, everything but MiniDV goes to P2. Not even DVCPRO25 is recorded on tape (if it even exists on the final production model).

Read the billions of old threads containing Jan's confirmations. I did.

Which part didn't you get? It's like squeezing DigiBeta on miniDV. It's not possible, like the 5 or so confirmations before me. It would give wishful thinking a whole new meaning. MiniDV won't even allow the dvcpro format (25), let alone 50.
 
"And man you guys who are about to get a 302 for the meters and controls have NO idea what a luxury ride you're about to get."

Sir, with the uttermost respect, all I'm saying is error on the side of precaution. Like your grandmother said, "An ounce of prevention is worth five liters of cure". Until Sony reps chime in with a declarative statement on P2 and dvcPro I think we should show caution to the wind and not make assumptions. By the way, does the HVX record Digibeta?
 
I understand where you're coming from, but let's also keep realistic thoughts, as in: compare a dvcpro50 deck price to the new HVX200 price. Maybe then you'll understand our 'assumptions' which I see as bare facts. Panansonic would have to re-invent the concept 'MiniDV', which is saying: let's invent a new language, why? juofe li magoo!
 
If you want official confirmation, just look to the two articles that Jarred and I posted on the HVX. Every stitch of information in there has been confirmed by Jan Crittenden Livingston, who is the product manager for the HVX. There is no more official source than that.

LMAO, I think he is either drunk or has a very unusual sense of humor. Either way, good stuff. :thumbsup:
 
DVCpro 50 = 50Mbps.....MiniDV = 25Mbps. Impossible to fit DVCpro50 on MiniDV tape. The End.

Jochem, I just love the language....
juofe li magoo! HVX200 magili o fhjuibi no 50Mbps kilata ragat 25Mbps. Finitolamba!

Are you sure? What about a pair of pants that's one size too small. Sometimes you can squeeze into them if you try real hard. Can't we try and squeeze DVCpro onto MiniDV?

Or how about a car analogy? A big Mac Truck can cart fifty crates of live chickens. Technically, we could squeeze fifty crates of chickens into a yugo right? If we try hard enough? Yugo's are built pretty solid, and we'd probably only occasionally experience chicken crates dropping out. :thumbsup:
