ok. thanks for the tip.

Looking like crap is always a subjective term really.
lol... indeed it is, especially when subjected to it.

There is a limit
to how good you can make the DVD look simply because you are compressing
the footage. The amount of material you with to put on a DVD will affect
the quality. A DVD will hold an hours worth without having to dumb it
down. You can do higher with little sacrifce, but probably after an hour
and a half the average eye will notice.
do you mean an hours worth without compression? i.e. AVI format? sorry
for my ignorance here. I've only gone through the capture process with
premiere and compressed with tmpgenc a couple of times as a test run.
Haven't had a chance to experiement yet. Is there a non-compressed mpeg
mode?


As for Open Water, it is quite likely they used some film look filters
on that footage to soften it and give it a more cinematic look.
Oh, I see. I kind of liked the frame mode on the GL1 which had the
"film" look sort of. Sort of a fake progressive scan mode is the
technical explanation from what I've read. I definitely noticed the
resolution suffer a bit in that mode, so I wouldn't have used it. The
VX2000 doesn't have anything like this. When you say "film look
filters" are you talking about physical filters on the camera during
shooting, or post-edit processing via a premiere plugin sort of thing?
sorry, I know this is going off topic a bit.
