Sony HDR-FX1 or Panasonic DVX100 ?

I dont understand what you mean.

The drop field in sorenson squeezer gives a lot worse quality than applying a deinterlace method: interpolate fields in Vegas.

They are very similar, but Vegas uses interpolation.

You are right in that it is a WAY WORSE way of deinterlacing when you keep your footage at 480 lines of vertical resolution, but it is a WAY BETTER way of doing it if you are downrezing to 240 vertical lines anyway. If you blend or interpolate at 480i, you'll end up with 480p with some "blurring/combing/etc." which will in fact be way better than if you dropped the field and then took the 240 lines you were left with and scale them back up to 480 lines. True. And that's why no one in their right mind would ever deinterlace that way (because you lose half of your resolution). BUT, if you are going to half your resolution anyway to post on the web, then it's a WHOLE OTHER story, and dropping a field doesn't lose you any resolution at 240 lines, and you have video with no interlacing artifacts at all -- absolutely perfect progressive images at 320x240 from 60i sourced DV. That's what I'm trying to say, I'm constantly amazed why so many people don't do this for web video. Now, this isn't as important for anyone lucky enough to own a DVX because you're shooting progressive to begin with, but it makes a big difference for people like me who have to shoot in 60i still. I'm also curious about using this technique with 1080i sourced video.
 
I know what you mean. i have tried that, and you might finish with some aliasing in diagonal lines by doing the process that way.
 
24p worth it for Internet?

24p worth it for Internet?

Hi,
I'm looking to parody a network show and release it on the internet. The show we're parodying has a flim look to it, and ideally I'd shoot it in 24p to capture that look. However, given that I'm going to launch it over the internet and most likely compress it down to 15fps, would I stand to gain anything by shooting in 24p or would that be a wasted advantage? The camera's I'm deciding between are the Sony HDV FX1 and the Panasonic P2 cameras. I know the Panasonic kicks ass, but we are working off of a tight budget and I'd want to know that I'd be gaining some unique value in paying for it. If anyone could give me some perspective on the advantages/disadvantages for each given the internet medium, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Tim

Hi everyone!! I'm like brand new to writting/directing film. I am writting two horror movies right now. The first one is a low budget kinda what ever i can get my hands on kind of deal and the 2nd will be for a much bigger budget if i can get the right connections. ANYWAYS! I don't want to spend more than $4,000 on a first camera. I have been saving up for awhile and I was recommended a sony that is like 1,600 but I was wanting to get a DVx100b. The question is this... Can I shoot in the dark with the Dvx100b??? Alot of my scenes will be kinda dark with specific lighting to make it creepy. Any suggestions or answers are a great help!!


Thnx u all!
