"HD output 1080i/50 or /60 signal off recorded video" this is what i found on http://www.jvcpro.co.uk/item/index_html?item=GY-HD100E what is it supposed to mean? i thought this camera only supported 720p HDV1. would there be any benifit of converting 720p to 1080i? any idea about the price for this cam in UK INC VAT? its said to be $6999 in the USA and that comes down to £3,817.43 GBP but i am quite sure it would sell for much more than that here . Why do we have to pay more for our gear here in UK

is it right that this camera is only offering 720p? does that mean there'd be no 1080i or 1080p available?

so we have formats, standards, architectures and codecs. that makes it much easier to understand all the stuff i mentioned earlier. the web link is very useful though i could'nt see apple's new H.264 codec for high defination dvd. thanx for sharing Mark. yes thats would be helpful.

hey guys this is my first post though i have been browsing the site for a while now. am a multimedia student and i enjoy filming and editing. my question is just how many video and film formats exist? i know a few like 35mm, 16mm, super16, 8mm for film and vhs, svhs, betacam, digibeta/ hi8, minidv, dvcam, dvcpro, hdv, pro hd, dvcpro hd, hd for video and a lot more if we get into the computer formats like avi, quicktime, divx, mpeg, realmedia.... then we have this pal/secam/ntsc and region limits on dvds. i'd like to know how many more do we have? what are the pros and cons of each format, the cost, quality and compatibility. thanx
