yes please let us know i know if someone in here has done it with that program they would know the direct answer but HD editing is still so new to most people we are all trying and learning together. it would be no problem if you had a blu-ray burner hehe that would be as easy as it gets hehe.. also i know you are working with PAL maybe check the settings for sony vegas 7 (if it accepts it) and make sure it is set to accept the PAL format.

Good luck Simon. Let us know how things work out, what programs you tried/ what worked, what didn't. We are all interested in this technology so obviously want to find the fastest, easiest program.


Realize there is going to be trial & error but it will all be worth it.

Ok, so Simon are you importing raw video onto your PC from your Camera??

What are you importing the raw footage as and through what program?

So let me get this right, you want to author your HD Footage into a HD Blu-Ray File Structure and distribute the raw data files to people who can assemble them at home and watch them on either a PS through reading the raw files or burn a BluRay DVD and watch it that way?

is this correct? i've had a really long day so before i start this i want to make sure i'm on the right track.
yes thats what he wants to do he also wants to make a standard deff version as well. does he need to make it a AVCHD Blu-ray structure?.. i know he is sleeping now but he has added LM sound to it and it never finishes stops at the same % all the time.

Chris found a program that both of us downloaded that is designed specifically for Canon cams. Simple, effective method to extract files and Author, Edit and do pretty much anything he wants.,

Also comes with an HD Upgrade Pack, so that should be right up there with what Simon needs to extract and release his recording.

Will keep you guys updated on the HD version. It may be some months before I am happy. Good news is I have now been able to open, view and encode the whole show to 2DVD with livemet audio, just gotta author now but that is the easy part.

Will be up for trade by the weekend.

Once I have then done London and Manc. I will look more into HD. I really want to get the HD files out there as on my LCD it looks crystal clear. The SD version is good, but you can tell alot of data is missing.

Even if it takes a few months or so I'll try get the HD out there. I don't want to rush as I really want it to be good with full menus and audio options.

Awesome Simon. Take your time working with the HD, but as was mentioned in the post above, we found a program that would maybe make life simpler than Sony Vegas 7.0. It is designed with your perticular camera in mind and it has an HD Pack, so you know it would handle your files.

But thanks for the update, really hope I can get a copy of the SD and check it out as screens from your cam look really cool.

yes it does it works very well, but it is very bulky/slow unless you have the propper PC specifications to use it.
