I love PCs and I would never give up my Windows Media Center for a Mac
but in your case I would still maybe recommend Mac.
When comparing hardware, Macs actually do come out cheaper. If price
is a big issue, you can find a much cheaper PC notebook and you will
probably be quite satisfied with
I'm a long time PC user, one of the few it seems on this list

say that XP is a pretty good operating system, IMO and I have been
using Vegas for my editing needs since I have started vlogging. Sony
Vegas is the bomb for PC's,

Nothing like a platform question to shake things up eh? ;)
I'm a multi-platformer - and until recently, have always had the PC as
my primary editing monster using Vegas.
I don't think you will have any problem at all converting from the FCP
family to Vegas - it just takes a little adjustment.
How about sub $200? You can get Final Cut Express for $155 right now,
and it's pretty similar to Final Cut Pro, and can use almost all of the
plugins/filters that FCP can.
I spent last week evaluating about 30 free filters, so I've got a
editing suite way more powerful than iMovie and way

Questions:
1. How did you get into vlogging?
I was involved in the beginning of podcasting, and knew at the time that
video would be the next big thing. I started experimenting with video
online, and eventually found the vloggers, probably via way of (audio)
podcasting.
In a previous thread, Pete Prodoehl mentioned some free filters for Final
Cut Express. I'm curious how everyone pimps out their FCE (or FCPro). I've
been using the plain vanilla FCE install, but I'd love to start
experimenting. What filters/plugins do you use?

As someone who has analyzed the AppleCare policy, it isn't worth it. Most
failures occur within the first year and Apple covers out to one year
automatically.
Secondly don't let Apple install options like bigger HD's and RAM, you can do
all that yourself less expensively. And were you to do
I have to totally disagree with Tony about applecare, especially if
you have a laptop. I have had the logic board replaced, the screen
replaced, the casing replaced and two batteries replaced (pretty

hey everyone,
i recently bought a Canon HV-20 to complement my larger camera, the
Canon XHA1.
i usually shoot in 24P mode with the XHA1.
i was under the impression that the HV-20 could shoot in 24P, but i
now learn that it shoots in a 'sort-of 24P' mode that is then
'wrapped' in a 60i
Great point about the investing. I'm sure people wouldn't invest that
kind of money without a very thorough look at Veoh and everything
going on with the company.
It does feel to me that Veoh is struggling, but from growth or trouble
I couldn't say. I hope some of that $30 million goes toward
I suppose customer service may also take a nosedive even if the
company isnt dying, but just decides to refocus, and clients that they
previously coveted are no longer of interest.
Again I am not suggesting this is the case with Veoh.

I will warn you I have not had extensive time to play with all of these,

Apple has some info on the HV-20/Final Cut workflow to get 1080p24 footage
into the editor. Short version is you have to import it as 60i and then
reverse telecine each clip with either Cinema Tools or Compressor.

Good luck,

Kary has the basics down.
I use a Canon HV20 and shoot in 24P. It's not actually 24
progressive frames per second. It records 24 progressive frames
across 60 interlaced frames.
What this means is you have to do a double process. The first one is
to import the video as HDV into Final Cut.
It is 24p. Real 24p. It is just 24p with 3:2 pulldown added. It is no
different in that sense from film footage you've had telecine'd or 24p (as
opposed to PA) DVX100 footage. And unlike the XH-A1 and its ilk, it is true
24P rather than the pixel shift res-compromised fakery (effective as it is)
You know, I thought I was responding to a different mailing list on which
the tone of that would have been more appropriate and taken with a grain of
salt, so please excuse the haughty tone and some irrelevant material within.
Sorry!!! (slinking off to a corner)
On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 8:48 PM,
hey thanks for all the info.
i think i will end up getting the HV 30, as i want the Progressive format to
have it look good
on the web, and i'd like to avoid having to do the reverse telecine.

I had not seen that article! Thank you for sharing it. That just
confirms my own suspicions that Veoh is having some real problems.
They appear to be having a true disconnect from their content
providers and users.
