Canon Hd Hard Drive Camcorder
2010
Is there any easy way to edit images from a HDD camcorder on a Mac?
I had a nightmare experience a few weeks ago trying to edit and post pictures taken with a JVC Everio (not my camera). Matter how. MOD, which would not open in any program. I tried changing the extension of file. MP2, which showed me the video but no audio. Then I tried MPEG Streamclip to convert. MPG, but still no audio. I ended up having to return recording the movie with my MiniDV camcorder. I'm looking to upgrade to an HD camera, but I've been limited to MiniDV camcorders. I'm almost set on the HV30 Canon, but I have heard complaints of engine noise. I need to know if I can use a camera hard to eliminate this problem.
Yes – and JVC. MOD (modified MPEG2) files … Since you're thinking of taking the path of miniDV tape with a camcorder and your Mac, some things you should know: 1) Do not know Mac you have – but it is very likely you have to install the "Apple Intermediate Codec." It is in the MacOSX system discs and installation should be a "custom" of that particular QuickTime component. Without it, neither iMovieHD or FinalCut (for or express) will be able to do anything with the data stre HDV. 2) You must also buy a 4-pin (camcorder DV port) to 6-pin (Macintosh FireWire 400) cable. Firewire, IEEE1394a, DV and i.LINK are all the same thing. Not permit USB DV / HDV import to iMovieHD or FinalCut. 3) The Firewire port must be active. System Preferences: Network: The network settings … there must be a check mark in the box Firewire. 4) Macintosh all made in the last 10 years has been a port firewire400. Some newer Macs also have a FireWire 800 port – you want to stay with Firewire 400. NOTE: The new MacBook Air is the exception: it has no firewire port. 5) DV uses about 14 GB of hard disk space per hour of imported video. HDV uses about 44 GB hard disk space per hour of imported video. Another unit (internal or external) only for your video prohects recommended. 500 event is a good place to start. 6) 2 gig RAM minimum suggested – more is better. 7) The engine noise of the HV30: Look at the camera. The tape drive mechanism is approximately 2 inches away from the microphones. No video camera with good microphones. In a very low envirironment audio, video cameras, which use engine – miniDV tape, hard disk and DVD – has morotor Noise – Especially if you do not use the manual function audio control. The good news is that the HV30 has a microphone jack to use microphones External and has manual audio control. The only other camcorders in this price range that can boast of this are the Canon HV20, Sony HDR-HC7 and HDR-HC9. All of these cameras also have a headphone jack for audio surveillance recording. 
I do not think any of these camcorders have an accessory shoe – as will need to add one if you go on the road external mic … http://www.amazon.com/Bower-Shoe-Video-Light-Bracket / dp/B000NL5X5S/ref = pd_bbs_1? ie = UTF8 & s E = & qid = 1217888261 & sr = 8-1 It has two standard accessory shoe – one for a microphone, for a light. Besides that almost makes you shoot with both hands resulting in a more steady shot (although the use of a tripod is preferred). 9) The use of a hard drive based camcorder Canon or Sony may be a little different as the noise of the motor drive unit is concerned, but they have their own problems … They do not like the vibration – for recording high-bands could be a problem. The vibration of the most high can cause the camera viration like it is trying to save a video buffer. When the buffer is full (because the hard drive heads parked due to vibration), then a buffer overflow error and nothing is saved on the hard disk. I do not like heights. The hard disk heads really need air to "fly" on the hard disk platters spinning. More than 9,600 feet – I think – and the camera may decide not to operate. In any event, may deserve is worth downloading the manual of the camcorder is interested in reading through it and …
