Ok,
Tonight I shot another concert. I was going to start shooting in DVCPRO50 but decided that the show should fit on my cards, so I shot in 1080i.
The show didn't go as planned and went longer than thought, so I decided - to fit the rest of the show on my remaining card space - I would shoot in DVCPRO50 from 1/2 way and convert the HD stuff later. With the recent disappointment in quality shooting in DVCPRO, I stuck with the 50 variant which I have always been happy with. I have shot many concerts on DVCPRO50 before without issue.
However on my return home tonight I started ingesting the vision and - you guessed it - the DVCPRO50 stuff is all jaggies as the DVCPRO stuff was from last week. All I did was change the camera from DVCPROHD to DVCPRO50 as the recording format.
I have had this camera for two years and never had this problem before this and my previous shoot. Ok, I know HD is always better than SD, but this is so different it is ridiculous.
What am I missing here? HD is perfectly pristine, SD is suddenly woeful.
Have I unwillingly changed a setting somewhere? I don't know what it could be!
This is driving me insane and I would appreciate any help.
