Re: MD: MD video cam
I would bet that future models will have a 1394 port, without it, sales will be very low - consumer demand will dictate and rule! GB - Original Message - From: Rodney Peterson I really think the reason for having no digital input and output on the MD Discam is SCMS. Since it is both a digital audio and video device, this would be true since you can make unlimited digital copies of anything through the IEEE 1394 Firewire Port. But you can already do this with Mini DV and DV Cam with near DAT quality, so it makes it seem really unfair to leave such an important feature off such an innovative video camcorder. What format is it in, because of course you could only hace the IEE1394/firewire/ilink if it is a DV standard compresstion? Christopher Spalding Genius, generally excellent and gifted person.

Re: MD: MD DIscam vs. Sony DCR-PC100
Perhaps all is not lost in the prosumer movie filming world with the Sony MD Discam after reading Graham Baker's link to a story about the MD Discam yesterday that got me to thinking. Evidently the MD Discam can record movies in Quick Time via the ethernet connection. I hope you all will forgive what to some are going to seem amatuerish questions, but all of my computer owning experience is limited to WebTV. So, first off, can you download your MD film to Quick Time, assemble it from other MD film and create a longer movie by digitally splicing on the web. Once there, what would you do? Go out from the IEEE1394 Firewire Link to a Mini DV Cam and digitally duplicate DV from there? Is Quick Time quality film or does it look not much better than MPEG? If so, why bother? What kind of computer and software would be required? How much money would need to be invested in a desktop or laptop capable of all this? The other option besides the MD Discam would be the slightly older Mini DV format and the new Sony DCR-PC100. I suppose if you wanted to do what I want to do with the MD Discam you would need a DV recorder of some kind anyway and I just sold my TRV900. The PC100 has some neat features, a 1,070,000 pixel multi CCD lens compared to 1,140,000 total pixels on the 3CCD's of the TRV900. I was told by one of the mail order camera stores that in reality the PC100 has a 680,000 pixel lens-the 1,070,000 pixels applies only to still photos and then only those stored on a Memory Stick. I would hope this were not true. Does anybody know? Sony promotes the Carl Zeiss lens as being one of the best features of their Mini DV cameras. The MD Discam, since there is no mention of this, must have a Sony lens as does the TRV900. I really don't know if there's a difference all that much, does anyone here? I have to admit the Carl Zeiss name sounds impressive, but what does it really mean? The PC100 besides the advantage of being small both it and the MD Discam have over the TRV900 also has Nightshot, which does not appear on the TRV900 and appears not to be on the Sony Discam. I like this feature, although I can honestly say I never needed it, the infra red (?) capability offers a nice touch and I wish it had been on the TRV900 and added to the Sony Discam. Thanks. It sounds to me like you don't know that the TRV900 and the DCR-PC100 are actually the same camera, only the PC100 has a different coloured chassis, has the buttons organised more for a more professional user and uses the DVCAM tape format (the primary difference between DVCAM and the consumer DV is that DVCAM runs at a higher tape speed, and i think cliplink comes into it somehow, too.) So they have the same 3CCD block, and thus the same resolution, same lens, it's all very similar, and the main difference that sony pushes is the tape speed, which they say is more reliable under mobile conditions. As for your question If you can get a video file onto a computer then you can probably edit it, using Adobe Premier or Ulead Media Studio Pro, and if you have a firewire port then you could probably re-compress out to it, but i'm not sure what quality the MD camera creates the MPEG files to. I think i read somewhere that you get 20 mins per 650 MB disc, which is much lower quality than DV, in which you get 10 about mins to 2 GB (so that comes to about 32.5MB per min of MDcam Vs 204.8MB per min of DV - and that assumes that the video isn't compressed more for the conversion to QT.) By my calculations the video on the MDcam is compressed at approx 30:1, where DV is 5:1, there are artifacts which are readily noticeable on the DV when you work with it for more than 20/30 hrs, so i'd immagine that 30:1 would be pretty low quality. It is for this reason that to date, tape has still been the preferred media for aquisition, both analog and digital. Christopher Spalding Genius, generally excellent and gifted person.

RE: MD: Newbie question re: Record times, Battery life
The Sharp 702 has an optional external battery pack that holds AA batteries and extends the life of the LION battery that is in the unit and rechargeable. The 702 is also very inexpensive as you can buy a new one for around $160 and refurbished ones for less. I have two of them and am very satisfied. As long as none of your animals are playing french horn, you shouldn't have any problems [grin]. With just the LION battery, you get about 4.5 hours of recording on a full charge. With just two AA batteries, you get about 4 hours, and if you have both connected you get about 8.5 hours. That should be plenty for your requirements. You also get the ability to adjust the recording level on the fly while you are recording which you don't get with Sony. I think the Sharp 722 which is a bit more money will record even longer with the above. -- Martin -Original Message- Behalf Of Lon Huber - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MD: MD DIscam vs. Sony DCR-PC100
Christopher I really appreciate those calculations you made-they sound like they make a lot of sense and took a great deal of thought. Doesn't sound as though current MD video will convert to high quality film very well. Would it even be possible to use a standard IEEE1394 Firewire Link on that unit? Your answer and the answer from another group member who spoke about hacking a Firewire Link in seem to point out that, in all likelihood, no, the two are not compatible. Of course, if this is the case, SCMS has nothing to do with the Firewire Link being absent and I have been criticizing Sony's decision to leave it off for nothing. I am aware the 3CCD DV Cam is almost identical to the TRV900. The DVCam model however is the DSR-PD-100. The DCR-PC100 is the newest version of the smallest of the Sony DV cameras. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MD: Mini DV
Yes, I have noticed problems with this format as well as all other consumer grade formats that I doubt the DV Cam could improve much on. No matter what I do, even with the TRV900, colors are never completely accurate and video played back on TV comes much closer to looking like live news on cable than even an average DVD. The TRV900 was the first video camera I ever owned, and somehow I expected more. The film looked best on the camera's 3 inch swivel LCD screen, despite the many failings of LCD. Even then, the colors are not 100% accurate but when I play it back on a larger screen it's even more evident. It just doesn't get to the point of looking like really great film, no matter what. Maybe consumer DVD camcorders can finally change this when they happen. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Never a problem, always happy. For video decks, I have chosen JVC twice. I have a Philips television. A Canon printer. A Panasonic camcorder. A Pioneer DVD player. All chosen based on criteria, and not brand loyalty. And I have never had any of them serviced. My first VCR and TV are four years old, the printer is seven, and some of my oldest Sony stuff is five years old. Now as much as I recommend Sony, I certainly wouldn't denigrate Sharp (after all, I just bought someone a Sharp micro system as a Chrismas present). If price is your prime criteria, then yes, Sony will almost always fall behind. I advised my flatmate not to get a Sony VCR for this reason. Sony charge a premium for their brand image, which is not something I agree with. But they're equipment is good, so if price isn't that important to you, the equipment best meets your criteria, and you know a good Sony dealer nearby, then why not?

RE: MD: Image is nothing. Sound is everything. Obey your ears.
Archer, I am by no means an expert on audio equipment. I was repeating what I was told by two different audio salesmen when I was shopping for DVD players. Thank you for correcting my misconception. However, it would seem to me that with the proliferation of CDR drives both audio and computer based, it was a pretty poor decision by Sony not to include that as a feature, just as I feel about the lack of digital output. I was going to buy the Sony MXD-D3 until I looked at the specs and found that it had only digital in. Like I said, I have always (until recently) been biased towards Sony equipment and have a Sony receiver on my desk across the room. BTW, I agree 100% with your subject line. -- Martin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kade Hansson Sent: Thursday, December 16, 1999 6:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MD: Image is nothing.

I also bought a Sony DVD deck that would not play CDR audio discs (they are deliberately designed so that they will not play them). Yeah right. You do know that it requires extra engineering to allow a DVD deck to read CD-Rs? They are invisible to the typical DVD wavelength laser. - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: MD: The French Horn Glitch - Urban legend
As I suspected, this story seems to be an urban legend (at least based on my tests). I used your file LoHorn.wav and recorded it digitally on my Sharp MD-R2, then digitally on my Sharp 702, and finally analog through the line in on my Sharp 702. There was absolutely no distortion whatsoever in the recording. All the wave forms are perfectly normal and the copies sound just like the original (hiss and all). I would be happy to provide the wav file to anyone that would like a copy of it. I suspect that the person who originally experienced this problem had a bad cable or some other mechanical/electronic problem. -- Martin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Colin Burchall Sent: Friday, December 17, 1999 2:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MD: The French Horn Glitch (was: Sharp 701/702s for 99 Pounds at RS) Eric Woudenberg wrote: Before this problem reaches Urban Legend status, I wonder if anyone has a copy of this French Horn signal that the Sharp supposedly has trouble with.

MD: Sony MDBUNDLE6 and car adapter
Folks, I just recently bought a Sony MDBUNDLE6 to start myself down the MD road. However, the box says "free car adapter kit offer," but there was no offer in the box. I went back to the store and they cracked open another box to fish one out for me, but that box didn't have one, either. They opened a third, still no luck. Has anyone else run into this? I thought I'd ask here before I spend an eon on hold with Sony.

MD: Battery life on MD-MT15
My main concern is battery life.I can easily imagine filling up 3 - 5 MDs in a day's recording. I understand that battery use is increased in record mode, and it would seem that my recorder of choice, I have a MD-MT15, and the battery life is 15 houres playing, and 7,5 houres recording. I think that's quite long for two AA's The MD-MT15 doesn't come with any accesoires, but for recording, it's just fine... You also get the ability to adjust the recording level on the fly while you are recording which you don't get with Sony.
