The Handbook is
designed to meet the needs of prosumers and professionals
who are currently shooting with one of the DV or HDV
formats. It is a comprehensive introduction to CCDs,
MPEG-2, HDV, shooting with the GZ-HD7, HD post-production,
and distribution on HD videotape, DVDs, high definition
DVD, and 35mm film.
Thanks to Steve... Every Mac/HD7 user... It's worth buying his handbook. I purchased it about 2 weeks ago. Then I read something on the DVINFO forum (posted by Steve) that prompted me to review his section on iMovie08. His instructions work flawlessly. You WILL be so glad you bought this book. I have had so many second thoughts about getting the HD7. I bought it 1 hour after I discovered the announcement about iLife08 only to be extremely annoyed by lack of support for JVC HDD cams. Steve's work around is brilliant. (The main reason I joined this forum is to tell you all it's a worthwhile purchase!) Have I convinced you yet?? Cheers & happy importing!

There are
several reasons why those shooting 720p50/720p60 or
720p25/720p30 with JVC’s ProHD camcorders are interested in
using the JVC GZ-HD7 as a “B camera.”

While
Progressive HD displays are now the norm, interlace HD is
