New York 2004

Post by metallifreak27 »

i know this question has been asked before, but i couldnt find the thread anywhere, so i gotta ask the question again

what equipment did the filmer(s) use on those 2 nights? as i think quality wise, those are my favourite boots from 2004

im lookng at upgrading my own recording "equipment" as i should of done more research before i got my dvd camcorder (i want to stay with the SONY brand)

i know that one of the reasons i was swayed towards the instant dvd format was because of the fact i have no way to record vhs/mini dv tapes onto my pc/dvd

so, if anyone knows, please fill me in

I suggest getting a Firewire card to your PC and getting a DV-cam. Ripping the DV to PC takes ALOT of HD space. We are talking about ten's of Gb's here. An hour of Uncompressed avi takes about 20-30Gb's.

i was thinking maybe get a dv cam, and a dvd standalone recorder in a bundle from my supplier, then once i have copied from the cam to the DVD, rip to PC, then edit from there

I have a HI8 sony dkigital camera and i use a firewired cable to tranfer the video to my PC.

Also i have a standalone dvd recorder where i can put my vhs tapes into dvd but if i already have a video a digital is better to edit it a bit in the PC.

About the equipment used for those 04 gigs i don't know.

BTW man your stuff was shipped last week.

The multi-cam for April 20th (first night Uniondale) was actually mixed onto a VHS tape, then converted to DVD. Same with October 22nd (East Rutherford). So there was some quality lost on those shows.

The April 21st show (second night Uniondale) appears to be converted straight to DVD as it is much better quality.

Although personally I thought the November 6th show (Ft. Lauderdale) was better quality than the Uniondale shows.
