    Editing mixed format footage (AVI, M2T and AVCHD)

    I have a ton of HDV tapes and do like the format, but it seems the whole consumer video industry is moving away from tape. And on the "film look"... I actually like it for a lot of reasons: shallow DOF, often muted color palates, dynamic range and shadow detail... but the stuttery nature of...

    Editing mixed format footage (AVI, M2T and AVCHD)

    Hi, Ronscuba. Is that question for me or someone else? If it was for me... I've been shooting HDV for a long time but started using a Panasonic GH1 last year for topside work, and mainly shoot in 720p60. (I'm not a "film maker" so the look of 24p in the 60i wrapper and all the pulldown...

    Editing mixed format footage (AVI, M2T and AVCHD)

    I use Premiere CS4 on a Core i7 (2.8GHz 4 core), but still running XP and maxed out at 3GB of RAM. And I can tell you that editing AVCHD is NOT pleasant on this system. I hear CS5 is significantly faster with AVCHD, but for me that requires the Adobe upgrade, an upgrade to Windows 7 and...

    Crazy - 1080p cam + 180' housing for $270?

    No, I haven't tried fixing a filter to it... might be interesting if I could figure out a way to attach one. =)

    Crazy - 1080p cam + 180' housing for $270?

    Just uploaded another video from the GoPro HD. It's mixed with footage from my Sony HC1, but almost all of the wide shots are from the GoPro. YouTube - Scuba Diving at Shark's Cove, North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii - GoPro HD & Sony HDV

    Crazy - 1080p cam + 180' housing for $270?

    Pretty awesome! And I can't imagine free diving down to the Sea Tiger. That's pretty amazing too. Been quite happy with the GoPro HD. Low light performance is so-so, but then again it's a small sensor camera. I also get sun balls and totally blown out highlights with my DIY mod to the...

    Waianae or North Shore - June 14?

    I wish I had time to dive at least one more day, but unfortunately today was my last chance for this trip -- which is why I was so desperate to get out there when my other arrangements got canceled. Next time! The YO257, San Pedro and Sea Tiger are really cool dives. Done those a few times...

    Waianae or North Shore - June 14?

    Thanks for the advice! I called Deep Ecology at 8am and managed to squeeze into a couple of dives at Shark's Cove with Tyler and his group of people. There was a bit of surge which made going through the lava tubes sort of bumpy and kicked up a lot of sediment, but overall it was a couple of...

    Waianae or North Shore - June 14?

    10:15pm Sunday night -- Thought I'd post this in the hope that I can make last minute arrangements to go diving with a local dive op tomorrow, June 14 (Monday). It was already after business hours when my partner canceled out on me tonight so Scubaboard is my last hope. Do any of the dive...

    Where to buy dried ogo on Oahu?

    Thanks for the suggestion! Chinatown may very well have some. Got into town on Monday and looked around at Longs and Safeway but couldn't find just the dried ogo, so I called Noh Foods this morning. They said Marukai sells it, but they're a membership shopping club and I'm not a member... So...

    Where to buy dried ogo on Oahu?

    Hi everyone. Do any of you know where I can buy dried ogo on Oahu? Noh Foods sells the poke mix packs that you can buy at Longs and most supermarkets, but it looks like they also sell just the dried ogo in bigger quantities: hwn pake in okinawa: NOH freeze dried ogo... Visiting Oahu...

    Crazy - 1080p cam + 180' housing for $270?

    Looks good! I also used the 3M tape to stick the GoPro to my Ikelite housing, and I don't think it's coming off easily. Wouldn't want to try knocking it off with a bowling ball, though. ;) Sorry, not sure about trimming it. But I'd probably try to cut it with a razor or small scissors. If...

    Looking for advice, trip to Honolulu early August, 2010

    If you stay in Waikiki, most of the hotels are within a couple short blocks of the ocean. Beachfront hotels are more expensive, of course. One condo-style hotel that comes to mind is the Waikiki Banyan on the east end of Waikiki near Diamond Head. It's about one block from the beach...

    Crazy - 1080p cam + 180' housing for $270?

    Congratulations. I'm pretty happy with my GoPro HD and self-modified housing. Definitely a fun little video camera. I've only used it on one dive plus a bit of snorkeling so far, but I ended up using one of the sticky mounts to attach it to the top of the Ikelite housing for my Sony HC1 and...

    Crazy - 1080p cam + 180' housing for $270?

    Hi, Matt. You're too kind! Actually, I don't think the video is very interesting at all, except as a test of the GoPro's image quality underwater with a modified housing. I just got back yesterday and haven't gone through all the footage. Basically I just slapped a few scenes together that...

    Crazy - 1080p cam + 180' housing for $270?

    Just got back from a trip to Guam where I used my GoPro HD on dives at the Blue Hole and Barracuda Rock, plus some snorkeling in Tumon Bay. I added a homemade flat port in front of the GoPro housing's dome to correct the underwater focus problem. Did a quick edit of the footage and uploaded it...

    Crazy - 1080p cam + 180' housing for $270?

    Interesting. I had only seen their baggie approach. But a few people on the GoPro User forum had been mounting glass, acrlic or polycarbonate flat ports to their housings and it looks like Eye of Mine has done so as well. At $80 that's not bad, considering that a replacement housing itself is...

    Crazy - 1080p cam + 180' housing for $270?

    I received my GoPro HD the other day. The Aquapac underwater baggie I had will not work because the GoPro housing doesn't fit well and the Power button on the face of the GoPro housing interferes with the flat port of the baggie. So I proceeded to get parts together for a permanent...
