The little LED screen on the camera just isn't quite enough. I'd like a larger image to study during studio production.

Any thoughts? The manual just isn't quite clear enough for me.

Thanks.

Some of reasons they don't install codec for their particular avi.

But my avi is uncompressed. The video is taken by DC Canon Ixus 850 IS, old model not DSLR. The video property is 640 * 480, 1'18" long, 110 MB, 30 frames/sec, don't show any codec in this file property and in Premiere CS 4 property. I sure this is uncompressed avi.

When it plays avi in source monitor, it always stay in first frame, audio is fine.

I had install ffdshow(codec package) before this problem happen. The first time it can play avi in Premiere, but few days ago it can't. During those days I don't install any other codec or change any window vista setting. Every time I import avi it will load ffdshow codec, so I try to disable it when import avi, doesn't work. And try to change Premiere sequence to :
editing mode: Destop
timebase: 30 frames/sec (match my avi)
frame size: 640 * 480 (match my avi)
Pixel aspect ratio: 1.0 (match my avi)
fields: no field
display format : 30 frames
preview file format: Microsoft AVI
codec: have try all of them
and finally doesn't work, I already crazy.

(Sorry if the below stats are wrong!)
I understand that if shooting video with the PAL standard you are shooting in 25 fps and NTSC is around 30 fps and film 24 fps. On my Sony Z1 it has a cineframe feature called CINEFRAME 25. Its supposed to give a film atmosphere, but what is the fps? If the 25 stands for 25 fps then surely this would be the same as shooting in normal video mode. So my question is, what is the fps when the Z1 is set to shoot in CINEFRAME 25 mode?
I don't really use this but I do like to know the ins and outs of all my equipment, so if theres anyone out there that has this camera please enlighten me.

Ok so let me break down the events leading up to this:

I am editing a 720p 24fps vids

For the last 2 days my windows media player was acting up when I loaded mpg files

When I was done editing my project in premiere I went to export it

As usual premiere opened up adobe media encoder

For some reason media encoder would encode the project and just stop without giving so much as an error message

I got sidetracked and decided ton reinstall some codecs to make WMP work again (I did and I just had to reinstall the CCCP codec pack. I also did a reinstall of FFDSHOW to be safe)

All of this while premiere and media encoder were open

So I closed down premiere and encoder for a bit because I decided to try and work out the problems with encoder later

I came back and now when I got to load the project in premiere and opens the loading bar and gets about 90% of the way full and then freezes. I have to close premiere using the task manager.

I thought it was a time issue so I starting the loading the project and left to go see a movie. I cam back about 4hrs later and it was still frozen.

I don't know what to do. I dont think the codec thing is relevant but I figured I would share everything. BTW I tried uninstaling the codec packs I installed. No use.

This camera has become 'available' for me to purchase second hand, and I was just wondering whether anyone had any experience with it at all?

And before you start having a go at me for buying stuff, it really is a bargain compared to other stuff I've been looking at. The guy has a few good cameras for sale - even a D900 and 200, plus a JVC DY-700E

The only thing is, I've been reading around and it appears that if I want to actually capture material at all, I have to use a deck for the tapes. Can this be any DVCPro deck, or does it have to be a particular one?

Or indeed, is there any other way?

Thanks for your help as always.

This video is from a recent bushwalk, mostly shot by my 11 year old son, on a dodgy little JVC Everio palmcorder (if any of you do bushwalking, you'll appreciate that I'm not keen on lugging my "proper" camera for 30kms!), hence the poor quality and shaky camera work. I could have steadied up the camera a little in After Effects, but I wasn't going to bother for a "home movie".

Nonetheless, a bit of judicious cutting in Premiere, and I reckon the result's not too bad.

Oh, and just to show that this isn't my usual work, here's a showreel I put together:

I know panasonic mx30/50 can do the job, just hope to get some opinion if there's other mixer that can do the same, new or used one are welcome
