I'm about to get the HD200, but according to what I read, Version 2.1 supports QuickTime HDV 720 24p and 25p recordings only on the HD100/110 series. So, what does that mean in relation to the HD200/250 series? Will we have to wait another eternity for HD200/250 support?

[Steve Benner]

I am not sure, but from what I gather, there is slightly different encoding on the 200/250 series which could be the reason.

Thank you Steve. This is welcome news. I'll make this a sticky.

BTW, I would imagine that 720P24 and 720P25 are identical across all models of ProHD cameras. I believe the 12 GOP format only applies to 50P and 60P recordings, but 720P24,25,30 are still 6 GOP in the HD200 & HD250.

I just tested the official 2.1 version this morning and I have been Beta Testing it for a few weeks...It works!

The HD200/250 is NOT supported yet for .MOV.

[Hayk Paul]

I forget: how many hours of hdv will you get with a 40gig drive and how many hours for sd?

[Steve Benner]

4 - Hd, 3 - Sd

Apparently there is "an issue" with the HD200/250 and this firmware.

Is the only difference between the DR HD100 and the FS-4Pro HD the ability to see information in the viewfinder of the HD100 from the DR HD100

As I understand it, with the FS-4Pro HD you still have to capture and convert your files before importing them into FCP (if you're a FCP user).

With the DR HD100, as quoted from their site: you are "ready to edit. No capturing, no file transfer, no file conversion. Just shoot and edit."

I believe there is a Quicktime patch for the FS-4Pro HD, but only for 30P. I imagine the 24P will be released soon.

EDIT: The Quicktime Patch may only be for the DR-HD100, I am looking into it.
