This is my first HD camcorder and hence the confusion. </p> <p>Also, we were planning on making something for the Chicago underground film festival for next year.Their  guidelines - 1/2" (standard VHS in either NTSC or PAL/SEACAM formats) videocassette or NTSC DVD.</p> <p>Also, I got the camcorder from BestBuy and could swap it for a Canon HV30.

That was better advice. But similarly, I am curious what contest would still be running with VHS.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hd-camcorder-to-vhs#post-48524 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:48:58 +0000 zoobie 48524@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Just call your local lab/video shop and ask them to transfer your doc to VHS. What's the prize? A new VHS camera? </p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hd-camcorder-to-vhs#post-48523 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:43:43 +0000 TDedmonSBP 48523@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>what program do you use to edit? The new Adobe CS4 collection comes with an encoder that will transcode just about any format into any other. I would look for a video converter that you can specify the framerate and image size and go from therre.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hd-camcorder-to-vhs#post-48506 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 00:34:51 +0000 manny 48506@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px;"&gt; </p> <p>First off thanks for taking the time to read through my question. I am a noob to video editing and so pardon my ignorance. I own a HD camcorder (Sony HDR SR11) that records in the AVCHD format. </p> <p>I made a documentary for a contest that requires submission in - "standard VHS in either NTSC or PAL/SEACAM formats". I am not sure how to convert my HD video to these formats. How would I approach this? Would I be getting better quality with a (cheaper?) SD camcorder rather than trying to downconvert the HD video?</p> <p>Also, if I need to burn the HD video onto a regular DVD so that it plays on non-hd televisions - how would I approach that?</p> <p> Any help would be appreciated. </p> <p>&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; </p>
