New camera: HDV or AVCHD??

Hi
b Q1: I am looking for a HD camera, I've used DV until now. I'll also upgrade to CS4. But which camera should I go for, or more specific, which format: HDV or AVCHD? Any camera suggestions (in the range of 1000-1500 USD (or about 10.000 NOK)
I have read a lot about the time issues using AVCHD, as well as other problems using this format. But it seems that, at least for someone, it does work.
About my usage:
- editing is just a hobby for me, so long rendering/exporting time is not a problem, as long as the(simple) editing works fine (that I preview transitions, added text, and some other "simple" effects without need to render first)
- for me would a HDD based camera be more convenient than a tape based HDV camera (that is why I "hope" to get a avchd camera instead of HDV)
b Q2: I have a Core 2 Duo 2,4 GHz, 2 GB DDR2 ram three disk system now, but will do some upgrades if neccessary (eg. 3xRAID 0, Quad core, some more ram)
b Q3 Which process is time consuming using AVCHD? importing to Premiere (but I guess you do not have to recode the files?), editing, and/or rendering/exporting to Blue ray?
b Q4 For those of you using AVCHD, and are happy about how its works, what kind of camera and system do you use?
Thanx
Nic

Hi,
my inputs are:
Q1:
if you like a nontape workflow --> Go for AVCHD
Why not using Premiere Elements 7 for your hobby? everthing is perfectly supported in the first round..
Q2:
With a reasonable Q6600 system you can play 2 AVCHD streams nearly readtime today, i.e. editable both in PPro CS4 and APE7
Q3
In my case to apply/render a redgiant filter to a clip is even more time consuming as to generate a BD, never was a problem for me
Q4
AVCHD isn't evil, it's only another animal to tame.
I use a Sony CX6E camcorder (memorysticks up to 32 GB), a monopod, a Zoom H2 for audio (forget the 5.1 ideas with cameras which even don't have limiter for the internal mic). If you would like to have some manual control I would suggest to look the Panasonic AVCHD consumer line.
My next investment will be most probably a Panasonic HMC151E (AVCHD)or a Sony FX1000 with a recorder attached --> both at least 200 % of your budget; in any case you touched only the surface of all components needed for this "new world" :-))

What should I get, HDV or AVCHD camera.

I'm looking to get a new camera and I'm looking at most likely getting a Sony camera. I'm wondering which will work better and easier with Final Cut. I'm just stuck in deciding between a Hard disk drive camera that will record in AVCHD or one that records on mini DV tape in HDV. Im mainly looking for which has higher quality and greater ease of use.
Thanks

What version of FCP are you running? AVCHD support is officially limited to FCP 6.0.1 and I'd be wary until the accepted wisdom is that this is a straightforward workflow with no quality loss.
You state that your primary objectives are output to the web as video podcast or to DVD. As such I believe you're wasting your time looking at both proposed formats.
AVCHD workflow is unproven IMHO, HDV is wasted on video podcast/web output and you'll struggle to find a Blu Ray burner to output BluRay DVDs and the red dye HD DVDs you can output will only work in 1 player.
HDV editing brings it's own difficulties as stated and suggesting the HVX-200 with its associated P2 cost is plainly ridiculous for your budget.
I ain't impressed with 3 x 1/5" CCDs either - whatever the camera.
Get a 3 x 1/4.7" CCD Panasonic PV-GS500 (or GS400 if you can find one) or Sony DCR-HC96 for straightforward Standard Def workflow unless you want no inexpensive external monitoring or long render times (without converting to a more editing friendly codec via capture card = more expense).
There's life left in Standard Def and you'll still get decent quality if you're on a tight budget and wait till HDV/HD/AVCHD or whatever becomes cheaper/easier to work with in the future.
Camera technique is more important than format - don't forget, if you're shooting hi-def for large screen viewing (and it's pretty pointless if you aren't), focus is so much more critical for one thing - I'd much rather work with and watch stuff shot by someone who knows one end of their DVX100 from the other, rather than some eejit who knows nowt but is using an expensive all-singing, all-dancing Hi-Def offering.
IMHO, of course.

What is better hdv or avchd?

I am about to be a reporter for my school's morning
news program and am not sure whether to get hdv or
avchd? I have a 1 year old Macbook Pro (not current
generation but siliver one with 2.4 ghz 2gb ram and
200 gb hard drive) with imovie 08 and will probably
also be editing in final cut express 4. If you had to
choose between the hv40 and hf s100/hf s10/hf s11
for reporting in the field, which would you chose? I
have heard that avchd has had some problems. Is one
easier to edit than the other? We still broadcast in sd
but have lots of hd cameras. Does the video ever skip
when imported? What about rendering and capturing
video? I am looking for the best video quality possible
and something that is future-proof, but need to edit
this video a lot, and probably will be needing to shoot
about 40 60 minutes of video at a time. My school has
pro and prosumer hdv cameras. Would I run into any
probelms when broadcasting avchd for my case? Please
help me out and I thank you in advance.

this is a very complex issue, when you leave your living room at home = work only with one camera, one computer, one delivery device ..
integration into a structure of editors, rooms, delivery-chains, etc.. a diff. cup of tea..
can others handle your files and hardware?
what about archiving?
what about indexing?
technically, for sure a better input results in better output.
but..
HD is 4-6 more data than SD
HD isn't handled 'natively', you have always add conversion-times on input + render times on ouput
there are diff. standards for HD
no-tripod looks in HD/70" TFT even more worse than SD..
the main assets of each format imho:
• HDV allows easy storage of raws AND of final edits => excellent long-term storage
• SDcard is small and ultra-fast in preview, some models allow 2-8Mpixel-stills WHILE video recording
pic quality is defined by camera (optics, chip size and number, bitrate).
and handling.. a 1/4000 shutter speed in a candle lighted room could result in bad pics..

Need for new Camera?

I currently have a Sony Digital Handycam (DCR-TRV140) that i like, and has worked well for what i've wanted (home movies, etc). However, the camera is 6 years old and i'm wondering how outdated the technology is and if i should get a new camera? We're expecting more video opportunities and wonder if we should upgrade our camera?
any help or recommendations is appreciated.

I vote for waiting (unless you have a pressing need).
Sooner or later, HD will take hold. Right now you have HDV whose future may be in question because of AVCHD. Now AVCHD on paper is superior, but HDV has had time to mature and tends to be easier to work with right now than AVCHD. This will change probably sooner rather than later. And, as time goes, the price of flash media that AVCHD records to will continue to fall; or rather the price remains the same but capacity increases! And another reason for holding off for now is that AVCHD requires a LOT of horsepower to play around with.

HDV or AVCHD editing = processor utilization = import/exp. quality loss

Hello,
my question about processability of HDV/AVCHD Movies with iMovie. I have learned that HDV and AVCHD files are transfered in the AIC format. That should mean editig a movie would be always in the AIC format and I assume no difference whether I come from HDV or AVCHD format it should be similar demanding to the core2duo processor except initial transcoding from H264 to AIC - is this right?. When I save a movie out of iMovie do I save it in AIC or in HDV/AVCHD? Is there a quality loss transferring a movie back and forth from/to HDV/AVCHD to AIC since HDV employs mpeg2 and AVCHD employs H264 which are both compressed formats? Practically does this also mean that AIC can work as a bridge to between both formats?
Thanks for your replies to my several questions!

I have cut/pasted this from another thread where I posted it following a question from a Canon HV20 owner. The info applies to all HDV and AVCHD cams though. Might help you decide.
This comes from www.camcorderinfo.com
Compression (7.0)
The Canon HV20 (Review, Specs, Recent News, $903) uses HDV compression, a very efficient MPEG-2 codec with a fixed data rate of 25Mbps, identical to the data rate of standard definition DV compression. HDV excels in capturing stunningly high-resolution video, but it is inferior to DV in terms of rendering motion realistically, due to its dependence on interframe compression. This means that at 1080i, only one in fifteen frames is a full-frame picture, while the intervening frames are compressed in relation to each full I frame. Interframe compression is much more efficient than intraframe compression, and allows HDV to squeeze a full 1920 x 1080 picture into a 25Mbps stream, recordable to inexpensive MiniDV tapes. DV uses intraframe compression, so each frame is a fully independent picture, allowing much better motion capture. DV also uses a superior 4:1:1 color space while HDV encodes via a truncated 4:2:0 color space.
The inherent weaknesses of HDV have led many networks to deem the format sub-standard for broadcast, but it is still the best high definition format available on the consumer camcorder market. Most consumers find the stunning resolution of HDV trumps the superior motion handling of DV. A professionally lit HDV interview (or any HDV shot without too much detail or motion) can look nearly as good as footage shot in a professional HD format on a $20,000 camera. AVCHD, a new HD format that uses H.264 compression was introduced in 2006 and compresses video even more aggressively than HDV. Our tests of Canon's UX1 (Review, Specs, Recent News, $729.95) and SR1 (Review, Specs, Recent News, $1119.99) last fall show that while AVCHD video is very sharp, it suffers from grain and artifacts much more than HDV compression. The wildcard in the consumer high definition arena is a new MPEG-2 format developed by JVC, the MPEG Transfer Stream codec, which appears for the first time in the Everio HD7 (Review, Specs, Recent News, $1529). MPEG Transport Stream compresses video at up to 30Mbps, and may rival or even outclass HDV compression.
Media (6.0)
Like other HDV camcorders, the Canon HV20 records to MiniDV cassettes, the same inexpensive and widely available format used by standard definition DV camcorders. MiniDV cassettes have a run time of 60 minutes in SP mode, but can hold up to 90 minutes of more compressed LP video. Unlike the DVD, memory card, and HDD formats, MiniDV tapes are linear media so moving clips to a PC from tape is a real-time process. For anyone serious about the quality of his or her video, HDV recorded to MiniDV cassette remains the best consumer HD option available. To date, consumer non-linear video formats do not support the highest-quality video compression codices for high definition (HDV) and standard definition (DV).

HDV or AVCHD

Posting this question here although I'll probably be using both im08 and imHD. I was horrified when I first saw im08, but after giving it a whirl and finishing 6 10 minute movies in a day, I was fairly impressed by im08.
I'm taking the plunge and going for a new HD cam, my current cam is a canon xm2, it's given me good service but it's mainly home movies and it's so bulky I miss many shooting opportunities just because I leave it at home most of the time. So I'm going for a compact consumer type cam instead this time only I'm not sure if it should be HDV or AVCHD.
I'm tending to the AVCHD models at this time based on a couple of assumptions I've made, I'd be grateful for any comments about my assumptions before I actually make a choice.
1. I'm assuming HDV is recorded around 40 Mbps and from what I've seen the better quality AVCHD settings record at 15 Mbps. So that's 40 Mbps MPEG2 GOP vs 15 Mbps MPEG4/10, so I imagine that's pretty much a draw in a contest for quality.
2. I can store my original material on the mini DV tapes if I go for HDV. I assume I don't need to 'capture' AVCHD in the sense that I do with HDV and can effectively just copy the AVC files from the cams HD to the HD on my mac, in which case I can archive the original material to DVD at the rate of about 30 minutes per DVD.
Additionally, should I be aware of any importing issues with either of these formats in respect of both im08 and imHD.
Finally, whether I go for HDV or AVCHD, my choice already seems to be Canon or Sony. Two areas of interest divide me between these companies. Digital stills: Sony win hands down - 6MP to Canons 3MP, on the other hand I believe Canon's image stabiliser is vastly superior, which is a big thing for me, anyone know whether this is true or maybe just exaggerated.
In addition to that which I've raised, any other comments would be gratefully received.

OK. Had my camera an hour or so now. Here's what I've found so far.
im08 imports from the camera in AIC, which is anamorphic 1440 x 1080 at about 80 Mbps, so I'm not sure where everyone is getting their 960 x 540 from. This intermediate format also drops right into imHD with no problem at all.
I've got easy access to the original files on the camera via USB, but haven't yet got around to figuring how to archive these transport streams which is something I would like to do since they are considerably smaller than the AIC files obtained through im08.
I have a couple of tv's which will be my target for export for the foreseeable future. My simplest export option is export to QT using the tv preset, which gives me a file of 960 x 540 at 4+ Mbps. This resolution is clearly less than the maximum tv resolution of 720p but the tv won't support this resolution at 30 fps.
Being a PAL user my frame rate is 25 not 30, which will play on the tv at 720p, I've carried out a few trials and managed to get the tv to play 720/25p at 8 Mbps without a problem by exporting using QT to mpeg-4, it fails to play if I increase the bitrate further to 10 Mbps.
Of note I have not been able to detect any difference in quality between the 960 x 540 4 Mbps export and the 720p 8 Mbps export when I watch them on my 50" HD plasma. So unless further trials reveal any difference, I'll simply use the QT tv preset for exporting from both im08 and imHD.

New camera tomorrow

Well, the poking around is done and I have a new camera on the way which should land tomorrow. The Panasonic HMC70 was fine for its original intended purpose, green screen tutorial / interview type footage. However once I branched out into narrative work it just wasn't workable.
We've been using the DP's Canon but it irked me to have a $1600 piece of equipment that I couldn't use, so I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade. B&H buys old gear & offered $800 for the HMC70. Might have got a few pennies more on eBay but I'd rather not hassle with it, so it's on a UPS truck headed for NY as we speak (I told it to look Rod up once it got there).
Beyond the issue of not being able to use my gear, the Canon is also tape based. I've been full digital in the recording studio for so long I'd forgotten what a nuisance tape can be. Apparently you can only get a couple of uses out of each tape before the reliability becomes suspect, so it's essentially disposable media. However, what really got me moving on the upgrade was sitting around every night for an hour transfering the dailies from the camera to the computer. Real time. In the 21st century. You gotta be kidding me.
From a purist's perspective (and I'm glad I have a guy who's shooting for the best quality he can get) the DP wasn't wild about AVCHD but I was adamant about moving to a tapeless format. The Panasonics on P2 cards were his first choice, but the media is wicked expensive and my budget is finite. I want the best quality I can get, but this is a web series and best bang for the buck is a factor.
I was initially looking at the Panasonic HMC150, which seems to be viewed favorably in its class. After some conversation, we went instead with the
comparable Sony AX2000, which he felt was slightly better in specs. I'm sure either would do the job, so I trusted more experienced eyes. And so, this is the critter that's on the way:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/671535-REG/Sony_HDRAX2000_H_HDR_AX2000_AVCHD_Camcord er.html
Be nice to get away from tape. Even a week with it is one week too many. Sounds silly perhaps, but with my packed schedule, an hour a night is actually significant.

Yeah, I know you don't want to upgrade the computer at the same time as the camera (ouch!). What I was thinking is that you might find a good used camera out there that's chip based but supports shooting in both SD and HD.
Some of the folks here could probably make more specific model recommendations. If you were able to get into a camera like that you could shoot SD for now, have the convenience of a chip based system, and not have to upgrade the camera when you move your computer to one capable of HD.
Alternatively, you could go with an HD camera and use Cineform or some other converter to move the footage into a lower bandwidth format that your CS3 system would be happy with. Either way, you get something you can work with today and be HD ready for the future.

New camera for use with IM09

Looking at upgrading my camcorder and trying to figure out which would be best with IM09...
This is what I have been looking at...
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/576009-REG/Canon3085B001_VIXIA_HG20_AVCHDHard.html#features
I tend to lean towards the Canons, but how does this JVC compare?
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/572458-REG/JVCGZ_HD30US_GZ_HD30_Everio_HighDefinition.html#features
Then the other questions I have are:
Should I got HD based or stay MiniDV?
The Canon says it records progressive footage at 60i, does that mean it is not true progressive?
Will an MiniDV HD cam improve my standard MiniDV captures, will it up scale them?
Thanks for the help...

I believe the real answer is not HDV vs ACHDV but progressive vs interlaced format. Imovie works better with progressive vs interlaced. However, shooting in 1080 60p needs a mac pro to really edit properly. Plus you need to trick imovie to consume it. However, I would still look into shooting progressive. Do a search on progressive and there are a few threads on it.
Yes, I have discovered that by working with IM09 with my standard DV cam. But it appears to me that both of the new formats will record in 30p and 24p (at least on the canon line). So will I not be importing progressive with either? Your right that is my top priority (and the major reason for getting a new cam) is to be able to record and import in progressive format...
The more I read, the more I am tending to lean toward HDV. I just want to make sure the qualities are the same...

New camera questions

It's time for a new camera and it looks like it's not going to be a DV tape camera this time. I'm considering the Canon VIXIA HF G30 so if anyone has any feedback on that particular camera that would be much appreciated. On to the questions....
1) I generally produce the edited output on traditional DVDs - no need for Blu Ray, at least not yet. Will PrE downres the video to SD?
2) Can I mix DV-AVI and AVCHD or MP4 in the same project so long as I am producing SD output? Occasionally I need two or three cameras and I'm not ready to buy several of these.
3) Preferences on AVCHD vs MP4?
Thanks everyone!
Bob

Scaling down - just be aware that your AVCHD shooting 1920x1080 is around 2.1 megapixels whereas DVD (assuming NTSC) is 720x480 which is 0.35 megapixels. So your output resolution will only be 1/6th that of your shot footage. Flipping that equation means that the downsizing process discards 5/6ths of the image resolution. Your output DVD will be of lower quality. There are so many posts on these forums complaining of poor quality when converting HD to SD - when this is an inevitability. I think what many do is connect their camera to the TV to watch their raw footage (naturally in glorious HD) and are then disappointed when they edit it and convert it to DVD. So long as you are prepared for this in advance you should be fine.
PRE can cope with mixed footage on the timeline, it's just not generally considered sensible. What most recommend is creating an HD project for your HD clips, output it to an SD DV-AVI Type 2 file and import that to an SD project containing your other SD clips. But you could also do some experimentation - put all your clips into an SD project and see what the output looks like or put all your clips into an HD project and see what an SD output from that project looks like.
PRE natively edits AVCHD so go with that.
Searching 'Canon Vixia' will give you a lot more discussion results that may be helpful.

Do HDV or AVCHD keep track of Date/Time like miniDV?

Do HDV and AVCHD have the time and date stored like miniDV does? I've done some searching and read through the HDV article on wikipedia and don't see this mentioned.
Thanks.

Anyone with any more info on this? According to what Tominlowa says it looks like the date/time info is stored on the AVCHD camera either in the video file or accompanying index files. I wonder how this works with HDV? Maybe I should be keeping manual logs when I shoot footage so years from now I will know what the date of my footage is.
Thanks.

I have updated my PSE9 and still can not open the RAW files from my new camera, I get an error?

I bought a new camera (Canon T5i) and took photos in RAW, tried to open them in PSE9 and they wouldn't open. I got the following error...
Canon RAW Codec found a new CR2 file that is not supported by the installed version.
You can download the Canon RAW Codec update program from the link below.
(Canon Server)
I have been to the link & downloaded what update it had. I have also done the available updates on my PSE9 and I am still getting this error messge. When I called Canon regarding this they said I needed to contact Adobe.
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong or not doing so I can open these files???

The T5 is supported by Camera RAW 8.4 which needs PSE12. You can use the Canon software to convert RAW to TIF or the Adobe DNG Converter. The converter will convert the CR2 files to Adobes RAW DNG format that will open in PSE9's RAW processor. http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads.

Many thanks Pitt.

For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC. Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version 6.7

However, when I try to open a raw photo in Photoshop Elements, I keep getting the message "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. I have tried reinstalling Camera Raw many times, and have tried to open many different raw files in Elements, and still get the same error message. Please help.

How did you try to install ACR 8.8. The only way I know of that works with Elements is to use the Updates Choice on the Help menu.
There are two charts supplied by Adobe that explain your RAW dilemma. This one tells you what your camera needs: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html This one tells you what version of software you need: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
In your case, the Nikon D810 needs Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 8.6 or Lightroom 5.6. (Congratulations on buying a new camera!)
To get to that level with Photoshop Elements, you will need to replace your Photoshop Elements 12 with version 13. Adobe caps ACR updates on version 12 at 8.5.
The most convenient way to get around it without spending any money is to use the FREE from Adobe DNG Converter. Download and install it from here for FREE: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5855&fileID=5890 Once it is installed you can convert your D810 raw files to an Adobe RAW version with the .DNG file extension that most, if not all, versions of the various Adobe software programs can use. That includes old versions of Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom. DNG converter can be used as the tool to move your files from your memory card to your computer, is efficient, will convert in batches and is completely lossless. There is no risk of any image quality degradation or RAW functionality.

Using Aperture with an external Hard Drive and my new camera (Nikon D300s)

I have an older MacBook pro- basically had option upgrade comp or camera- went with the new Nikon D300s... my pro was maxed out so a friend helped me transfer my library to my external Harddrive (had a tra- after transfer of my library looking at only 721mb left (just a few photos)) but here is the issue- we have it set up when i load my cards that they go right to the external- but two things happen- my raw photos show as 'unsupported format' AND I can't figure out how to edit.... seriously so frustrated I am ready to go with a micro-puker computer and photoshop... this is NUTS! any help... o and I run AP 2 and I ain't dumping any more money in apple until they can show me they are working again... this is eating my profits!

Well... I am going to say I am not ashamed to admit that I am not 100% sure. I basically gave my computer to my friend who is a computer guru as I was trying to download my first shoot with my new camera and I got a "not enough memory" message- and kinda freaked out.
I have a WD external HD so it is mac friendly-
I don't know how he moved it-- I know he said when he set it up to transfer it took close to 14 hours as it is USB (I know I can and should get a firewire port for it) - and to be truthful I don't know if it is referenced or managed. I know that I plug in the external and make sure it shows in on my computer then plug in my card reader and when i plug in my CF card... aperture opens and I set up a new project and it saves to the hard drive... yet is still showing on my aperture lib- so I am confused... and of course my "free" apple care ran out 6 months ago so I can't just call them or drive to denver and have them show me the solution... and I need one as I have a HUGE photo job in like 4 days

Creative Cloud is always empty and I cannot update LR and PS and cannot open RAW files from my new camera!

My Creative Cloud is always empty. I've had this trouble for over a year. I cannot update Lightroom because of it and Photoshop does not update properly. I cannot open the RAW files from my new camera, a Nikon D750. Each time I want to update, I have to talk to you and delete things and reinstall things but it doesn't fix it properly!
I have contacted Adobe before and always have to go through a tedious delete stuff and reinstall, then next time it happens all over again.
I'm really fed up with it and want to know how to fix it properly. I am in the UK, if that makes any difference.
