Damn you, Survivor!!
 

First ep of Survivor was on last night, AGAIN not recorded in HD. It's
a PERFECT venue for HD, out in the jungle/ocean and a couple of hot
babes.

Bad shows look even worse in HD. Count your blessings.

A HD cam is worth about $ 100.000.
They're using old Betacam SP camcorders which do not cost that much.
Camcorders actually don't like the tropical climate ... the salty air
and all the dirt are bad for them.

You cant rent twenty HD camcorders for Survivor. They won't let you.
Because afterwards the camcorders are crap.

By the way, all the costly editing equipment has to be replaced also.
In case you didnt know already - the episodes are edited on location.

How much are those Sony prosumer 3 chippers? $4000 with XLRs and all that
stuff you really need. Editors are computers nowadays. My buddy can shoot on
those little deals and edit in HD at home. Whats CBS's excuse? HD doesn't
make any broadcasters any money so the really could care less.

There is no prosumer HD cam that produces editable material.
Lenses are crap also.

So you are saying what ... that it produces only non-editable material?

I can certainly believe that.

All of them seem to output HDV, and I know of at least two fairly
inexpensive programs that can handle that format (Adobe Premiere Pro and
Pinnacle Studio Plus 10). You can get Pinnacle for less than $100.

Regarding HDV: Have fun trying to cut accurately!

How is it different from DV or HD MPEG-2?

And, of course, Final Cut Pro can handle it. If anyone is doing
anything remotely professional for TV broadcast, I imagine they'd use
this plus a Mac(s) to get the job done.
