hi John and thanks for the input. i am a little stupid at times (probably
the PhD - "P"sychological "H"andicapped "D"eficiency i originated this line
:o) i'm just so tied up between specs, the lack of experience, and now a
realization of a dark understanding of the difference between the different
formats (DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO & HD, HDV, HDCAM, etc.) the lack of
specifications from the manufacturer's on these products because of the lack
of their websites to provide the information and the nearly as ignorant
support group on the subject as i. i have searched hi and low, done
searches at google and talked to folks and quite frankly gotten bits and
pieces of garbled information but in here in a sort of chopped up fashion of
back and foth's that are much harder to assemble appears to be the "FACTS"
i'm looking for. and yes, i'm challenged at my age to discern all this and
i do appologize for that shortcoming of age but i'm trying and I AM
listening, just hard of hearing :o)
my appologies but do go on i'm reading and going to now go back and start
the thread over and re-read all the input from all you GREAT people!
respectfully,
doc
