I don't think it's possible to have a link to file in the title, or is it?

No, I don't think so either.

I'm doing this for now so maybe when Chris makes the files downloadable then paste the links in each post. So, people can have better understanding how the footage is shot in what setting. I think people in U.S. are still sleeping because of the time difference.

Ahh... now I get it.. well, I can wait a while longer. There won't be a PAL-version for another 3 months so there's no rush... :)

Thank you Kaku. The files aren't up yet, but I greatly appreciate you taking the time to put this footage together for us.

I somehow get this image in my mind of a nest full of baby birds all cheeping and jostling madly with their mouths wide open waiting for some poor harried mother bird to come buy and drop them some HVX footage.

Or at least that's the image I get after having a few drinks tonight.

Thanks Again!

....

I'm going to select some files to upload. They consist of fast urban BMX tricks with 720/60p and 1080i, and some static product shots with 1080/24p.
....

Brilliant! Thats perfect, thanks and cant wait! hehe. Only thing now is we need direction on how to get native untouched footage viewable (workable?) on a WinXp system :).

Yes, how can we view on windows?

I will see if there's anything in our HP workstation with Xena card inside would be able to read the file. We were building a DecklinkHD based system on WindowsXP for a corporation, but it's taken to the client already.
We don't have Canopus nor Avid system that works with DVCPROHD...I think...does Mojo work with DVCPROHD? We do have Mojo.

My apologies for my bad timing... I am away from my office, currently in Kansas visting my dad (this is his dial-up account). I have no way to access all of the FTP stuff for moving, re-naming files etc. This will have to wait just a little bit... I might be able to take care of this from my in-laws house in Dallas tonight. Sorry about the delay. Seems like all the cool stuff happens when I'm away from my desk.

Ok this is pure torture... I have been pressing the F5 key for an hours to see the link... Now you telling me I'll have to get to work and think of this all day and hope you got internet by then... It too much ;)

Imagine how I feel, stuck in southwestern Kansas on dial-up on a foreign computer, unable to do anything about this. Might be best if you try to get some *cough* work done today. Heh. I'm working on a solution. My cel phone doesn't even work out here. My dad lives way out on the high plains, the real "western frontier" of the U.S., I feel lucky just to have net access at all right now.

Thanks Chris,
hopefully your in-laws can hook you up.

I was also hitting F5 over and over and over and........................

When I have cel phone service, I'll call our webmaster and ask him to take care of moving the files and making them publicly available. Should take no more than a couple of hours (yes, hours people) so please be patient, all you I-want-it-now types (and yeah I know just how you feel).

Kaku, I can give you another FTP to upload to, and the files will be directly available on the web for download. It might cost me a few $$ of bandwidth to send it to all the users here and dvxuser site, but it a small price to pay. I got 400mbits available bandwidth on this pipe, so user will experience fast download ;) so will I hehe

Ok let try to do it at 100mbits FULL, just in case we have 1GigE or faster users over here ... I dont have QoS setup so I dont want to affect my other services.. I'll setup mirror of other big HVX200 video I found, so people know im not a fraud hehe

You don't need to press F5. Just subscribe to thread and then you get an e-mail when it's changed.... And btw... we have waited more than 6 months for this... 6 more hours won't kill us... :)

I posted one clip on my site, xtream.ne.jp (http://www.xtream.ne.jp/content/category/6/48/62/).

As soon I can get my hand on a clip, I'll mirror it here : http://hvx200.moctel.com/ in the production folder

I'll put up there also all other nice hvx200 clip I can find.

Please make sure to write the credits.

I will, it will take some time to get them downloaded at 100kb/sec. Thanks alot for posting it out

I got them but I can't figure out how to run them on a Windows XP. Can the codec be downloaded somewhere?

Thanks Marc.

Frederik, how about QuickTime 7 for windows? I'm not sure tho.

I got QT 7.0.3 for Windows... I can play the sound but there is probably a video codec needed...

I believe that the only option right now for pc users is avid xpress pro hd... There's a dvcprohd codec on the avid site called something like dv100, but I believe that you need the avid xpress soft to use it

otherwise we need the footage to be transcoded to either h.264 or wmv, preferably the latter

Ah, ic, windows version does not include DVCPRO HD codec.
What about looking into Blackmagic desing software codec?

I will covert them to H.264. That's easy. I can make two Quad G5s to do the Qpower transcoding while I'm out for shooting.

You're kidding?
We waited all nite to see this great footage and now we can't because we need special software?
unfair, i tell you. I want to see that 720p60 footage of Kaku kicking his cell phone with his bike. I bet that looks awesome! I'd like to see some 1080p24 movie-motion-like footage as well, since that will be one of the main uses for this bad boy.

this sucks to be at the mercy of MAC users. *smile*

Kaku, thanks.....you're the MAN for doing these tests for us! (seriously)

I tried the Black Magic but I guess it only layers on avi-files? I am looking forward for that H264-clip.

Missing 1 file to be uploaded at :

Please let me know if download speed aint that good.. Thanks Marc O.

Apparently the Avid codec will work with Quicktime. I found a link to it on this DVfilm Maker page:

http://www.dvfilm.com/hvx200/

Haven't had a chance to try it myself.

Great Dan!

I tried the Avid codecs but they haven't worked so far with the clips downloaded from DVXUser (by Jarred & Barry G). QuickTime just showed a blank white window.

I do have HP workstation so if there's something I can get to make the files directly, I would do that too.

Hmmm... too bad. I got similar results from some Qt files that someone gave me recently from a Mac. There was nothing special about those files and the person who gave them to me could not tell me what codec was used. White screen and sound was all I got even though Qt didn't complain about the file. I'm running Qt 7 Pro.

-Dan

H.264 for HD-DVD seems to take only matte of 20 minutes to transcode.
I'm transcoding one before I go to bed and post it.

Thanks Kaku for your effort.

Would you make some comments on the footage you've shot so far ? Maybe some comparison with the Canon XL H1 ...

Cheers,

it's there now. Hope this works. Probalby with VLC?

AVID's freely available DV100 codec only supports DVCPROHD via MXF files - not thru QT. And it also works with the freely available demo version of DVFilm Maker. The QT files only play audio with a white screen, so that doesn't work. Any chance we could get an MXF file straight off the P2 card uploaded? Pleeeeeeeeease????

So far, it seems the few who have had access the HVX only want to post the MOV files they get after importing to FCP. A raw MXF should be usable/viewable by us PC guys once we download the two necessary components and I'm ready.

Thanks Kaku for your effort.

Yes, after shooting some more. I'm going to sleep for now, it is 3:26am.

This file is not downloading.. ( HVX200carspassing1080_24p.zip.txt ) The same for you too?

It did for me...

Here's what was in it:

I have a hunch people will need the DVCProHD codec to play the clips. In my case it comes with Final Cut Pro. I'd much prefer to see the actual clips before they go through any compression.

Kaku,
I'm wondering what happens with the MetaData on import. I'm wondering if using Flip4Mac's MXF import component would help in any way. Any thoughts on that?

Is that the one that is 608mb. Still will not work anymore

I kept asking how I can bring in the MXF data on windows but not getting any specific answers.

Anyone?

Kaku,

Thanks for doing this for everyone. I just downloaded the HVX200carspassing1080_24p.mov to a Mac DP 2.0. After the download was complete, "Stuff It" unzipped the file and opened FCP 5.0.4 while opening the new file in it. GREAT!!! This was the smoothest HD/HDV file downloading experience I've had to date.

The footage looks nice. IMO, the colors are more rich than the H1. I'm looking forward to editing this in various ways in FCP 5.0.4 and experimenting around with exporting it using sorenson to see how it will do on the web.

I'm hoping that my ease of downloading, and so far editing this footage is a good indication of Panasonics ability to make the entire workflow process for 24p come together using a Mac.

{side note - Kaku, since it's your footage, I will not be posting my exporting experiments anywhere public, but if you are interested, PM me and I'll send you the links. Thanks again. }

Some stills, please? (i'm sad PC user)

Just tried the car passing 1080 24P in AVID Xpress Pro HD v5.2 (PC).
I hear sound but video is just a white screen?

Any ideas ?
