Its a bit overkill for "videoblogging" - due to its cost (you will always be worried about it), size (it doesn't fit in your pocket), and its resolution. The HDV output does look beautiful in its native 1080i resolution, and even when downconverted to DVD. It does have a built in HDV-to-DV conversion mode, that works well. You end up with letter boxed video output that is easily captured by Premiere, iMovie, etc. After battling with iMovie HD for many months, I finally converted to Final Cut Express, which has worked better. HDV capture on my top of the line powerbook still only happens at 1/4 speed, though I am not sure if thats due to the processor, hard drive, or Firewire 800. I've been using iMovie HD 5 the last year (just upgrade to iMovie HD 6 yesterday, haven't played with it) with a Sony FX1 HD camcorder (even more overkill than a HC1). I have a Powerbook 1.5G G4 (256mb of memory!? I'm upgrading to 2G). I also get captures at 1/4 or 1/8 speed, to the internal HD.What FW800 drive are you using? I'm just using a Western Digital 120G external (FW), to save projects in. I think I'm getting bandwidth issues if I try to edit projects on this external drive: hitting "play" sometimes doesn't result in any playback of frames. ??I'm thinking of upgrading to Final Cut Express, but opted to just go with iLife '06 (iMovie HD 6). The latter does the job for me: quick out-in-the-field edits, for offroad race videos that get blogged to http://jumplive.blogspot.com.BYAnyhow, unless you have a real need for HDV1080i (i do for historical archive reasons), then this isn't the camera for your day-to-day videoblogging.+NathanOn 2/12/06, Halcyon Lujah [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have been unable to take advantage of the HD from my HC1. (Premieredoesn;t handle it, that I know of) And I have trouble importing video even WITH the down conversion toregular DV. It will work in chunks shorter than 9 minutes. But I can no longer capture tapes in Premiere.And the new iMovieHD has been a nightmare, too, for me.-halcyonspreadingthepink.comOn 2/11/06, gmjoyce_y [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Which is the better camera for vlogging? Or are both overkill? And can Premiere Pro handle editing hi-def from the HC1? Discuss. Yahoo! Groups Links--www.SpreadingThePink.com Yahoo!
