Got My A1 :D

I got my A1 and have taken some shots. I just dont know what program is best to use. Ive tryed cineform hdlink, but that puts the video into an avi file. How are all these people capturing to a .m2t file? , because im sure .m2t is much sharper of a format.

You can use CineForm's HDLink to capture only the M2T file. Just go to the Prefs and select the option that says "Capture only the MPEG-TS file (*.m2t)".

And don't be too sure about the sharpness of the m2t file being better than a CFHD file. CineForm avi's are ideal for editing without using visual quality because that's what it was designed to do wheras mpeg was originally designed as a capture format. See our quality analysis for details.

Try searching for CapDVHS. I believe it can capture m2t's for free on Windows.

Can Vegas capture the A1s HDV footage?

I can't make Vegas 6 do it, but maybe Vegas 7 can?

If Vegas can't, I guess I'll just have to try that ^.

I recalled this post from the Vegas forums from a while back. Shannon Rawls confirmed that the H1 works with Vegas 6c - Would it be safe to say that it might work with the XH-A1 also?

Did anyone try this CapDVHS? I have premiere pro, which can capture 25F (pal). Exactly what advantages does m2t have over premiere's regular workflow? I know it's supposed to go easier on the processor, but is there any quality advantage? Like resolution, quality, etC? Also, will it capture different frame rates? progressive, interlaced, F mode, etc.

I just downloaded the CapDVHS. It's free and very very light.

Just hope that Sony didnt fix this problem for them in vegas6d.
