They try to make everything a proprietary codec or item. I remember their mp3 players being like that. ANyone remember the mini disc? FAIL. Same with the other mp3 players they come out with that require coding before they play. But I have to admit, I am on the train of DV. Its been around. The tapes are bomb proof. Travelling around the world, If I lost my camcorder (HV30) I'd be okay as long as I have my tapes. I still put blame on sony.

I have it and it does the same trick now and it works very well. But yes, it's an amazing disk space eater. You may have to get FCP 6.0.5.

I have a 16GB card if my HF100 that was completely maxed out. I just used iMovie to export these on my MacPro at work and all of the 1080i video totaled 65GB! That's a ridiculous 400% increase in file space! The H.264 compression on AVCHD is obviously incredible. Adobe Premiere CS4 has been released with native support for the AVCHD format and my bro-in-law says that it's great. When will Apple join the bandwagon? Who knows!? Maybe Snow Leopard? Sheesh... whatever it takes make it happen Apple!

Also, I'm a musician by trade, and have never done video editing before in my life. So I haven't been able to put in a ton of hours, but I have edited a short piece, with voiceover and music on the rig, and I found it quite enjoyable! Cheers! Hey Josh,

Do you work a lot with final cut on your macbook pro? Question for the thread: Does anyone know any websites that have networks of people making independent films in different areas of the US?

I also have a MacBook Pro, the latest and greatest, maxed out, etc. My rig gas no problem seeing the Canon at all. Ingesting the video was easy, except that you have to render the video to play it, and for some reason, the image was always "stretched" horizontally somewhat. I haven't had time yet to chase down what setting I might be getting wrong, so I was just copying files to my HD, and then using VoltaicHD to convert. Super slow, though, Final Cut seemed faster. I do enjoy my HV-10, though. Yep, it’s true… I also have a MacBook Pro, the latest and greatest, maxed out, etc. My rig gas no problem seeing the Canon at all.

I know my G5 can't do it. I've stayed away from AVCHD camcorders. I'd look around some more before purchasing that camcorder. Good Luck Josh-

Is this true? I have the top of the line Macbook Pro currently with maxed out specs.

I'm demoing their conversion program, but they also have (it seems) a way to burn discs playable on PS3... http://shedworx.com/?q=revolverhdmac It may not be exactly what we're looking for, but it could fill in a few gaps.

Did they forget that too? How are we supposed to get HD on to disk to deliver content? 99% of my clients are consumers (not professionals) and they want to be able to watch their hidef video in hidef on their HDTV! :) What about Blu-ray support for DVDSP?
