So you're saying that HDV is worse than broadcast HD, which uses about
a 25% _LOWER_ bit-rate MPEG-2 compression? Because I've seen plenty of
god-awful pixellated, artifacted 'swish pans' in broadcast HD.
If the footage you shoot looks like crap on HDV -- and I've gone out of
my way to try to force artifacting on HDV footage and never managed to
create anything problematic in normal use -- then it's going to look
like crap when broadcast even if you shot on IMAX.
But, hey, if you want to carry on shooting on film or $100k HDCAMs so
you can shoot swish pans which will look like crap when broadcast, go
ahead. The rest of the world will shoot HDV, avoid swish pans, undercut
your prices and not have the audience thinking their show is trash
because your wonderful 'HDV is not HD' swish pans are pixellated to
heck on their HDTV.
