HD timeline to SD DVD - pretty bad

[Martin_Gleeson]

I bet that you probably have gain on when you don't have to and your f-stop is above 5.6, cuz it shouldn't be that noisy for an outdoor scene with plenty of light like that.

Khoi,

Gain was at 0db and F-stop was 4.0.

To be honest, I'm starting to cheer up. Looks like it was all camera operator (mine) fault.

An Edius question, as I'm worried they might close this thread: I presume to capture and work with HQ in "Fine" mode, I change it in Settings -> Hardware Settings -> Generic HDV settings -> Canopus HQ Codec?

Thanks

That's GREAT! I have to agree spending so much money on equipment only to be disappointed is one of the worst feeling.

I'm not sure about the HQ quality setting as I'm capturing M2T 1080i and converting to HQ 480p with PC3 which looks better than an DV 16:9 cam.

But there are many other forums to discus these matters not here as the thread will get shut down.

Correct. Consider this the first and only warning.

Well, on a Canopus Edius subject: I captured at Canopus HQ Standard and Canopus HQ Fine. There was absolutely no difference in quality. I also captured an m2t file. No difference in quality between this an the HQ files.

Good to know that GV HQ codec is performing perfectly and sounds like camcorder setup issue, reading the past posts.
