For standard 4:3 output the difference may not be much, but it doesn't hurt to start with higher quality HD source. Bottom line: you lose nothing by shooting in HD and gain a lot more flexibility in terms of delivery options for both widescreen and 4:3 display.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/benefit-of-filming-in-hd#post-33847 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 09:07:26 +0000 hidef1080 33847@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I've not seen any real increase in image quality when HD is output to standard but if you keep your HD master files/tapes you'll have far better images should you output to HD.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/benefit-of-filming-in-hd#post-33844 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 05:41:06 +0000 Anonymous 33844@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I use the Canon XHA1 and find that down-converted HD footage looks better than footage filmed in SD. It's also sometimes useful to have HD footage stored away in case you decide you want to do something different with it at a later date. Not always necessary, but worthy of consideration before you press the record button.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/benefit-of-filming-in-hd#post-33842 Sat, 24 Nov 2007 04:31:53 +0000 fairpaul 33842@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Is there any benefit, or should I say noticeable benefit to filming in High Definition if your final out-put is in standard DV for the finished DVD? </p>
