Good to discover user with same camera, erdna

Dear erdna
I have read the link and I have seen the video tutorial you made. Wonderful to find someone with the same camcorder/editing program combo. Your Dutch spoken on the tutorial video is excellent. I am only puzzled by the fact that storing a movie on a DVD-ROM rather than on the hard drive seems to be a factor in your tutorial. Equally puzzling to me is that Sony's dedicated "Player for AVCHD" seems aimed at finding AVCHD movies on the DVD drive. I would have thought that burning edited and compiled AVCHD movies to a DVD is a secondary task. First get it all done and stored on the hard drive, then copy the finished product to a DVD if you really want to do that. Right? Hoe dan ook, ik kon alles goed volgen, al zit ik in China. Ik moet alleen nog de VS X2 handleiding (pdf document met meer dan 200 paginas) instuderen, dan begrijp ik hopelijk alles. Daarna bekijk ik uw gefilmde les opnieuw. Tussen haakjes, is VS X2 werkelijk zo goed als Vegas Movie Studio HD 9, slechts $40 en speciaal door Sony gemaakt? A forum as good as this I won't find for Vegas on the web though. Spijtig dat ik uw email adres niet heb, dan zou ik u in de toekomst weer met een technische vraag lastig kunnen vallen.

Hi ecbritz,
Hope my tutorial was (will be) helpfull. The reason why my tutorial is about AVCHD DVD, is because I generally show my video's through a BD player and fullHD screen at home and I wanted to prove for myself and for my videoclub that this way of working/showing results in perfect copies of the original footage without any loss of resolution. I even wanted to proof this by integrating a full HD testpattern (which contains resolutions that no HD camcorder can produce at 100% level). Making/storing your video first on your HDD is of course also OK. What you then get on your HDD can be played back on your PC by a SW player (I use e.g. PowerDVD from cyberlink). Strange enough PC playback using a SW player seems to produce more arifacts (interlacing twitter...only visible on a fullhd PC screen) than when I burn the same (rendered) video file on an AVCHD disc. I am still trying to find out why. You should also know that the Sony player for AVCHD only plays back the original MTS files from your camcorder or video's that are made by PMB. Also writing back to the camcorder is only possible when you stay with Sony PMB with your footage. I like VS because it is very complete. If you stay within AVCHD, no program can be "better" because VS reproduces bit-by-bit what is in the original. Others can do this too...but not better. If you intent to make out of your AVCHD footage other formats (convert to)SD DVD, HDV...) then the codec quality could play a role, but my experience is that VS with the right settings can cope with the best convertors. Ik "speelde" wel reeds met enkele editors, (movie maker, Magix, Edius5 ..) maar vond nergens iets beter, en vooral handiger voor mijn toepassingen. Mijn e-mail adres is andre.declercq@pandora.be
