Sony HDR-SR11 High Quality Test (HD FS 1920 x 1080)

Video taken with a Sony HDR-SR11, on the highest quality setting possible (HD FS).
The Specs for the original video are below.

YouTube would not allow to upload the raw .M2t file or even a transcoded MPEG 2 file at 1920x1080, so the best I could in order to upload this video was - 1280 x 720p 16:9 16,000kbs variable.

YouTube also adds its own compression, even in the 'Watch in High Quality'

The raw file specifications for this video, when its transferred from the handycam to computer uncompressed are -

H.264 Codec, Mt2 File, AVCHD - AVC Level 4, 24 Bits, 1920 x 1080i 25fps, 16:9, Variable Bit Rate (16000kb/s max), Upper Field First.

Audio - Dolby Digital Audio, 5.1 Channels, 48000Hz, Bit Rate - 448kb/s

jsut a little question...if i wass gonna buy a camcorder,,what would make me change my mind to HDR-SR11..instead of the older VX-2000 or VX2100?!

[Tramadol200mg]

Hmmm well from what I just read about the VX-2000 or VX2100 is that they are good however a bit old now and they are the whats called 'professional entry cameras' the big ones.

If you're really serious about shooting footage, I'd go for something like that but newer. It will cost a lot more thou of course

The HDR-SR11 simply has so many features and can record such beautiful HD footage that I couldn't go past it.

Tramadol--can you upload these files to pc and use Adobe Premiere and/or Mac and use final cut pro??

[Tramadol200mg]

Yes you can, but it has to be Adobe Premiere 7.0 or above (pretty sure) as the older ones won't support the AVCHD codec..

I don't use a MAC but I'm sure the newest version of Final Cut Pro will accept these files no problem.

Mac's are the true work-horses for video editing.

I'm not sure about that but you can purchase a Sony Mic that that is compatible with this camcorder

[ZackTheBeast99]

Could I attach a Rode VideoMic Pro to this camcorder?

1) What converter do you use?

2) how do you deal with this focus function, is it just done manualy with a switch in the front?

The new HD 1080p service from youtube is fantastic - with great compression and resolution choice button.

This video example is uploaded to youtube at 480p - NOT the 1080p Full HD supported now from youtube. You may upload correct example again. Please use tripod - it would improve your videos a lot.

Click on 'Tramadol200mg' and watch the newest video in pure HD I uploaded as a raw .MTS file which YouTube now allows. This will give you an idea what footage would look like say on a 60 inch 1920x1080 plasma that supports AVCHD.
