First, FCP defaults to ProRes 422 for the AVCHD transcoding, and second, the max bitrate is 17.4 MB/sec.  Now in the show, it's stated the camera goes up to 24 MB/sec., but averages 21 MB/sec. for PH mode (highest available on camera).  If the camera avergaes 21 MB/sec., why are we stuck with ProRes 422, why can't we use ProRes 422 HQ? We cannot change this in FCP's log and transfer window. Was the sample footage recorded at 17.4 MB/sec? I would hope that ProRes HQ would be an option to gain those few more precious MB/sec., but it looks like without an option to choose , FCP throws out 3.6 MB/sec. of data (at least) when transcoding the AVCHD files.  Does anyone know otherwise?  Is there something(s) I missed?</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/videomaker-to-review-panasonic-hmc-150-live-on-81908#post-39140 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:30:56 +0000 jburkhart 39140@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Panasonic has given Videomaker the scoop on the HMC-150, and we thought it would be selfish to keep it to ourselves. So we're going to be doing a live review of the first HMC-150 in the USA on Tuesday August 19th, at 11am pacific / 2pm eastern.</p> <p>We're taking it out for a test drive this week, and will report our impressions live at <a href="http://www.videomaker.com/live">http://www.videomaker.com/live</a>.</p> <p>There will be footage from the HMC-150 to download, and the chat room will be active, so if you have a question about the HMC-150's functions or features,  join the live show and we'll try to answer it for you right there.</p> <p>Hope to see you at the show,</p> <p>John Burkhart<br /> Editor-in-Chief<br /> Videomaker Magazine</p> <p>P.S. If you can't make the live show, the review will be looping on our channel afterwords at: <a href="http://www.videomaker.com/live">videomaker.com/live</a></p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/live-webstreaming#post-37423 Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:34:32 +0000 Aspyrider 37423@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>This may be something you'd be interested in:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ustream.tv/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ustream.tv/</a></p> <p>J.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/live-webstreaming#post-37421 Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:10:55 +0000 TonyV 37421@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>(The only post I could find in the forums here was over a year old and recommended the Tricaster Unit.)</p> <p>I'm looking for a good system to place live events that I film on the net.
