The ".tod" files will open just fine in latest version of my editor of choice, Sony Vegas 7.0e.

]]> <![CDATA[JVC HD Everio: Full Consumer HD?]]> What crappy codec?

I own an Everio and while the camera records the files as ".mod", I can just rename the files from ".mod" to ".mpg" and play them ANYWHERE and load them on every windows application I tried.

Second, on the issue of 1080i vs 1080p... it's a matter that the DISPLAY, not the recorder, must deal with. In other words, if you record 1080px tall MPEG2 stream, burn it to a HD media, you are going to see the video interlaced when hooked to 1080i and non-interlaced if fed to a 1080p display.

Am I wrong?.

]]> <![CDATA[JVC HD Everio: Full Consumer HD?]]> interlaced video will always look like crap, no matter how high the resolution.

Absolutely, I will never buy another Verio because of their weird MPEG2 variant these things record in - Adobe Premiere wants nothing to do with the footage, and the bundled software blows.

Most HDTVs have a native pixel resolution of 1024x768.

Cmon Gizmodo, you guys are responsible for knowing this stuff...

]]> <![CDATA[JVC HD Everio: Full Consumer HD?]]> I would opt for less pixels and bigger chips (for better low-light recording).

]]> <![CDATA[JVC HD Everio: Full Consumer HD?]]> It's all worthless if JVC still is bundling their muy horrible software with the cameras. Plus the G series hard drive cameras save out the video into a weird mpeg format where the video and audio is separate. If you want to use the movies in anything, like homemade DVDs ala Apple's iLife apps, you need to find another piece of software to graft the two and make it into a more standard mpeg or other video format.

]]> <![CDATA[JVC HD Everio: Full Consumer HD?]]> But if it is only recording 1080i then it is recording all of the interlace artifacts. These stupid companies (sony, Panasonic, JVC)are trying to keep 1080p as the differentiator between consumer and professional cameras. Recording at 1080i is rediculous considering that every single consumer device is oriented around progressive displays and it is far easier for them to record in 1080p/24 (lower bitrate, lower bandwidth) and make 1080i if they have to (2:3 pullup).

I would not get that excited about 1920 vs 1440, this is far less of a differentiator than one might think. the human eye is far more forgiving of horizontal resolution than it is of interlace artifacts (and much lower percieved vertical resolution). Read up on Kell factor
