hello Can you give me the full lenght record of this song? Maybe the original file from the camera? It's a nice song and i can't find it . I also wan't to see the camera quality in full hd. Thanks.
how could this be the best qality??? the rendering is very wrong! this is no HD! i have the same cam too and my test shoots look much better bro!.... use hd rendering 1080p ... but great track :)
@44147TV I didn't say it was HD. In fact, if you read the description, I clearly state it was rendered to standard-definition for the purposes of uploading (though it WAS recorded in full HD in the camera).
At the time I uploaded it, YouTube didn't support HD so there was no point uploading a huge HD file.
@jedrzej09 I have no idea, it's just something they were singing. I don't know anything about the band, they were just busking on the high street and I filmed it.
Is this really full quality? I don't mean to knock the camera, but the video looks blurred, no sharp edges, etc... If it's 1080HD it looks very downgraded. ( ? )
@DarkSkyVideo It's not the original camera quality of course because it's been edited and re-encoded for upload, then YouTube has done its thing ... nothing on YouTube is ever "full quality". It was recorded in the camera at top quality but rendered after editing to standard-definition widescreen at 5Mbps H.264, after which YouTube re-encodes it ... there will always be some quality loss.
By full auto I just mean normal automatic shooting rather than either manual mode or "intelligent auto" mode (which is activated via a button on the camera)
Take the SDHC card out of the camera - and put it into the SDHC card reader in the computer, simple as that. The card reader just shows up as another drive and I copy the files across to my hard disc.
i have the same HD camer but i had problems using the software that came with it - it would convert the M2t files in HD format which was a joke...concidering its supposed to be a HD camera!
so instead ive had to buy 3rd party software...
how did you get this video from the camera? could you let me know pleeeease! did you use the software that came with it or do you use something else?
Hi. I've never used the software that came with the camera. If you read the other comments and my answers for this video and my other SD20 test videos, you'll find lots of info about my software and settings which may help.
Hello UKAirscape! I've bought a SD20. ID like to know, what setup do you use at Sony Vegas to render the video. For me it rendered 1:47 file during about one and a half hour. :-( (I know, I have not the strongest PC)
Thank you. The file is saved on the camcorder itself as an M2T file using the AVCHD (mp4/H264) codec. I render the edited video to AVC/H264 at 5Mbits/sec for upload to YouTube.
Hello. Excellent video! I recently bought a camcorder Panasonic HDC-SD20 (same as yours). When i transferred files from my camcorder to PC then PC to DVD the videos became standard definition. Do you know how i can transfer to DVD (DVD format) without losing resolution?
Thank you. DVDs (in the official DVD video format) are, by definition, only standard definition. You need to go to Blu-ray to get hi-def.
BUT ... having said that it is possible to record hi-def format video onto a DVD recordable disc for playback as hi-def in a blu-ray player, this would depend on your DVD burning software.
But you cannot playback hi-def video on a DVD disc on a standard DVD player because they are not high definition items.
There are H.D. D.V.D.s - discs I mean - available now, different to standard D.V.D. It's noticably more expensive to buy a writable H.D. D.V.D. than the standard D.V.D.s. If you're a home user making films to sell, costs are significantly higher. I don't know much about them yet, it's blu-ray that's caught on. I assume 1. they can be played in standard D.V.D. players (rather than special H.D. ones) and 2. that most modern D.V.D. computer writers will write to these just as to a standard D.V.D.
HD DVD has died as a format, after being officially abandoned by its promoters (Panasonic and Toshiba, I think). They have now accepted Blu-ray as the winning format and no more HD DVD products are being made. You can still pick up old HD DVD players and discs. Your assumptions are wrong, I'm afraid: HD DVD won't play in a standard DVD player since the player can't read the disc; and PC DVD writers don't use the HD DVD format either.
Thanks for making that clear. I am slow. I had read what you have written not long ago, but then I guess I forgot. I was reading blurbs of quite a few pieces video editing software from the last couple of years and read over the H.D. D.V.D. claims again and just unconsciously bought it up again.
Was it any good? I guess Blu-Ray is a lot better but the history of home video formats certainly includes rejecting very good, sometimes better options (in a number of terms) for not so good ones.
No worries. I think a lot of people considered HD DVD to be a better standard, technically speaking (for one thing, it was an incremental advance on standard DVD rather than a whole new approach which Blu-ray uses, if I remember correctly) but in the end it all came down to support from the film studios and for reasons known best to them, Blu-ray won.
Thank you. The sound was captured purely on the camera's internal mic (which is on top at the front). The camera ran throughout the song but as you guessed, this video is an edited cut-down which incorporates cut-aways over re-framing etc.
I compressed the highest highlights (but more as a limiter than a compressor per se) and converted from studio RGB to computer RGB. Apart from that, nothing.
i was thinking of getting this camcorder how easy is it to upload the files to youtube? does it come with software to upload to you tube? thanks great quality
I've never directly uploaded the files to YouTube because I edit them first and upload a rendered version of the edit. The cam's format (AVCHD) can give you some problems but it depends on your editing software. I think it came with some basic s/w but I've never used it, I have Sony Vegas Pro.
