Clip: XHA1 with new .8 Canon WA adapter
I think the camera was unfortunately dialed in with sharpness that needed to be taken down to compensate for some minor aliasing, but this will give a good idea of how nice the new adapter is for the XHA1--and only $500!!
The clip was intentionally warmed up with the Kelvin WB manual control. http://media.dvinfo.net/canonxh/XHA1WA-1.m2t |

Wow. For $500 that's pretty impressive.
Lovely setup too.

How do I view an mt2 file? FCP doesn't seem to recognize it. Suggestions? Thanks.

Great clip! May I ask how you are able to capture your video to an .mt2 file? Premiere Pro always wants to capture my video as .mpeg. Is there any difference?

Barlow, can you point me to where I can buy this WA adapter? The only thing I can find online from Canon for the XHA1 is a .75.
Anyone have experience with the .75?

Isn't the WA actually a .75 fir $499?
Deke: I captured the clip on the Mac with a free system utility app called DVHSCap. It simply captures the raw transport stream and saves the file as a m2t. On the PC I believe there is an app call CapDVHS that does the same thing. |

Hey Barlow... do you get a better quality capture by capturing the raw .mt2 as opposed to capturing the mpeg version like premiere pro 2.0 does? I certainly don't want to be capturing anything less than the optimal video. Thanks!

I will test when I get a chance to see if the mpg files created from a capture in premiere are just as good as the .m2t files. If there is any clue, it is the fact that there is no conversion going on with the files themselves. They are named .mpg as they are being captured. So I really don't think Premiere is converting them. Peace! |

Hi Barlow,
You sold your XLH1 ? Do you see any difference in image quality between the two cameras ? |
