The FAT32 answer seems right, though FAT32 allows up to 4 GB files. If it is a limit of the AVCHD file structure, is there a program that will stiich the 2 GB files together seamlessly? DVD's, for...

Canon HG10 2GB File Limit?

I just got my Canon HG10 AVCHD hard disk camcorder today, and I'm wondering about something I read in the manual for the Ulead software that came with it. The manual says that the Ulead software can...

Sony Style has a PDF of the SR7's specs that says it has an XP mode that allows 8 hours of recording. That's about 7 GB/hour, which could mean a higher bitrate since HDV is 13 GB/hour using MPEG2 and...

AVCHD is MPEG4, a complete change from the MPEG2 currently used in standard-definition DVD's. Also, any burning of AVCHD to DVD will not be playable on current DVD players, but would be playable on...

AVCHD and H.264 in general is quite compute intensive, and there's no "transport stream" equivalent as there is for MPEG2. There's no expectation that H.264 will be used on a tape-based mechanism...

Another problem besides the low capacity of an 8cm DVD+-R for HD is that DVD camcorders have become so popular because you can take the disk out after finalizing and watch it right away in your DVD...

Am I reading this article right, or are we talking about two different things? According to the article, they are trying to force HD onto EXISTING 8 cm DVD's. That means it's not a Blu-ray camcorder...

Previous MPEG4 camcorders have used MPEG4 to reduce the cost of the camcorder (storage requirements, etc), not to improve the final video. It remains to be seen whether current MPEG4 camcorders have...

While the amount of data in HDV is large, it's the same as DV (12-13 GB per hour) which is less compressed. An HDV camcorder does have to compress this data to MPEG2 in real-time, though, which is...

I agree - why come in "third" in the HDD camcorder race when you could be first with an HDV-HDD camcorder? That would really set the market on its ear. You have to record to disk using MPEG2 anyway,...
