Would HDV solve this problem

I am a consumer researching HD Camcorders. Own FCS. I've read many of the posts about camera selection and if price were no concern... Anyway, I record my son's sports and sometimes make DVD's for the other kids, who seem to enjoy them. Don't charge for these, as I'm still learning to film and edit.
The problem I want to solve is this. When filming football from the sidelines, I keep try to film between the tackles, maybe a little wider. I find I get the best video by keeping a wider view of the field. When I try to zoom in during editing, like to show the tackle, SD gets bad quickly. Will HDV improve this? Seems like I read somewhere HDV isn't great for sports or fast movement.
I'm concerned about all the additional expenses for the better HD formats. P2 cards and storage could add up really fast for a consumer.
Thanks

That's my real question...
1. If I shoot in HD and edit for output to SD DVD, would I get some scaling
capability? Even scaling only 25% would improve the slow motion sequences?
Short answer, yes, BUT...
1) to do this you will have to edit in an SD sequence that means rendering every second of your HD video as you edit and if you through HDV into the mix you are talking about incrediby loooooong render times.
2) I have never shot HDV (I have shot HD) but from what I have read it is not your choice for sports video.
3) You had better be real good with the camera, it is very difficult to get good focus with HD. When I shoot I take along a laser rangefinder and set my focus that way because the viewfinders on the HD or HDV cameras are simply not up to the task. And if you scale out of focus video it only gets worse.
4) HD or HDV is neither cheap nor easy, I don't care what Sony, Canon or Panasonic says. They just want me to buy a camera and they will say whatever it takes to distance me from my hard earned cash.
Take what you would spend on one new HD or HDV camera and buy two smaller SD cameras, set one on a tripod on a wide shot and use the other to capture close-ups.
just my .02 cents,
K

    Hi fais,
    Following through with what JB suggested. The steps involved in replacing the inner for loop with a while loop are outlined below.
    You can replace the inner for loop with a while by doing the following.
    1) Right-click of the for loop and select "Repalce" then navigate to the "while loop".
    2) Make sure the tunnels you where indexing on with the for loop are still indexing.
    3) Drop an "array size" node on your diagram. Wire the array that determines the number of iterations your for loop executes into this "array size".
    4) Wire the output of the array size into the new while loop.
    5) Set the condition terminal to "stop if true".
    6)Drop an "OR" gate inside the while loop and wire its output to the while loops condition terminal.
    7) C
    reate a local of the boolean "stop" button, and wire it into one of the inputs of your OR gate. This will allow you to stop the inner loop.
    8) Drop a "less than" node inside the inner while loop.
    9) Wire your iteration count into the bottom input of the "less than".
    10) Wire the count (see step 4 above) into the top input of the less than. This will stop the inner loop when ever the inner loop has processed the last element of your array.
    Provided I have not mixed up my tops and bottoms this should accomplish the replacement.
    I will let others explain how to takle this task using the "case solution".

    My iPhone is a iPhone 3GS. For some reason, the ringer becomes silent although I have put the ringer on full volume. Would someone kindly teach me how to solve this problem? Many thanks!!

    Just to make sure... you have the phone in ringer mode right? Sometimes the switch on the side gets bumped (especially if you don't have a case on the iPhone) and goes into silent. If you see a orange line on the switch - it's on silent.
    If the switch is fine (and isn't loose or anything) try restoring the iPhone in iTunes.

  • After updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google,yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. How can solve this problem?

    after updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google(web ,image,video,map etc),yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. even I cant log out from different sites cz the log out bar is completely disabled. I tried with Firefox 4;5 and 6, same problem exist . I tried by active all add ons for facebook, same problem exist. If I use internet explorer , I don't find such problem with it.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • How I can solve this problem or manipulate it ports 80,443 are closed by ISP and they don't want to open it

    hi,
     I see that I have a particulier abonnee of my ISP , which has closed all the ports for security reason and they don't want to open  any of it 80,443 ect.
    suppose If I want to use Essential server 2012  how I can solve this problem , essential wants domain name whith A record.
    I asked DDNS service provider if I lease from them a domain name whith A record  would that help to open or manipulate the port 80,443  they said that I have to solve this problem myself . they lease only domain names with dynamic dns records.  
     so what can be a solution the ISP provider won't open this ports , how I can solve this problem .   domain name with ip adres is not helping so what it's go to help?
    thanks
    johan
    h.david

    The domain name in this instance is only used for remote access, and is seperate from the active directory domain name.
    If your ISP blocks port 80 and 443, and you dont intend to use remote access anyway, the wizard will likely not complete successfully whether you have a valid domain name or not.

  • Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac".  I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

  • One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.

    I connected my sons Ipod Touch to my pc and it worked fine. Now, when I try to connect my iPad the following message comes up: One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
    I checked the cable. It surely is not the cable. If I connect the iPod again it works fine. If I use the same cable with my pc and ipad at work or my other son’s laptop, it is working perfectly. It is only on my laptop where the iPod was connected. Something tells me it got something to do with the drivers that went corrupt or something when I connected the iPod.
    I searched the internet and I see a lot of people gets this message. Still no solved answers yet. Is there a place where I can download the drivers again or any other suggestions?

    Kind regards,

    I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
    This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post

    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

    So please out there give me some good advice. This feels like a level 5
    I have three computers at three different locations. The first one is a emac at my office running classic 9.2. The second location is a power book g4 running 10.4.5. at my home. The third is a power book g3 running OS 9.2.2at a third location.
    What I am trying to do is to access my computer at my office from the other two locations. My office has two computers that are on a network and talk to each other. They are both EMAC"S. They are connected by a ethernet network which is connected to a DSL modem which keeps me on the Internet all the time.
    At the other two locations I have direcway satellite which is broadband which also stays on all the time on the internet.
    I need to be able to access a data base on my main computer at my office and run the program which is an Omnis 7 program. I have multi user capabilities for this program, so that all the computers can access the data files at the same time and reqad and write.
    So this is my dileema.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    well, at any or all of the locations you may need to open up the ports through your routers to allow ARD access.
    Also, I'm wondering if you are experiencing problems between using old and new versions of remote desktop.
    In any case, when you say you have multi-user capabilities, to me that implies that from location 2 and 3 you want to open the database file directly, not open it within an RDC session on a machine at location 1. That will be a different issue. Now you are talking about file shares over TCP/IP.

  • I have an IMac 10.5.2 from about 5 years ago and recently my flash player stopped responding.  I tried to update my flash player but it tells me I need an updated system to install the player.  Can anyone help me figure out how to solve this problem?

    I have an imac osx 10.5.2 from about five years ago and recently my flash player stopped operating/responding.  Does anyone know if I have to install a new flash player?  I have attempted it several times and it won't let me.  I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this problem.  Do I need a new operating system?

    Why have you not updated to 10.5.8?
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:

    Hi, Dave.
    If you're using the BlackBerry browser, you can't configure anything to bypass the RIM servers.  I believe you may do so by using the Opera browser, but I haven't tried it myself so cannot comment with authority.
    I hope that clears up the issue for you.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
    To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it
