The way I see it, HDV is totally "half baked". maybe it something that the big syndicates invented just for the time being 'till the PC's will be strong enough to handle real i-frame HD.
I recently bought a canon xh-a1, I love the camera - it is awsome! but I'm totally disappointed from the HDV format. The first thing I wanted to try with it was filming chroma-key stuff, I thought that the huge resolution will give me a hollywood standarts of keying.... I was soooo wrong
The footage is heavily compress with that UGLY mpeg squares compression. It's actually looks and cut worst then regular standart DV.
And then i find myself struggling with the HDV codec conversion and limitations... which software can or cant capture it, which software can work with it... which one need me to convert it to Quicktime and which one just crush my computer when i import it.
For a format that have been around for a few years, I have to say that I found the PC video industry with their pants down. even here... in Istock when all i have to do is just capture and upload, I still cant get the right Quicktime codec.... and in that issue I think that JohnArne is right.... Why do a detour through uncharted QuickTime land, when the HDV capture format is M2T?
