Is There No Way to Record Uncompressed Video?? Is it impossible to record in uncompressed AVI which is much easier to edit later on a PC??

I don't think that it's vary possible. Because I've read that 1 minute of uncompressed hd video is 10GB of hard disc space. And thats only a minute! So i don't think it's vary possible to record hd video on a mini DV tape or any type of media without compression.

No, this cannot record in MPEG-4, sadly. I'm not sure what your second question is.

The recorded video is saved on SD card as ***.avi format. It can be played with "Windows Media Player" and "Video" application on my Windows 8.1 PC.

You can patch the HDMI video out of your DVR or the component out of your DVR to the corresponding input of the Intensity Extreme and then record the playback using the capture feature of the Media Express application that comes with it. The Intensity Extreme defaults to recording uncompressed HD which even if your system meets the requirements for that you might want to change the settings to Apple ProRes (if installed) or Apple Intermediate Codec. Once captured you can edit and/or convert the files to whatever video format that you need for playback elsewhere.

I don't believe that you can...NO.However, saying that; the video recording always produces a jpeg from the first frame or so of the video, that appears when you download the video to your computer.

It's a fantastic device but I've never been able to figure out how to record to a PC program. I always use a recorder. But I think it might be that my sound card is not set up for it. So to answer your question, yes but might still need to figure out how to make work.

Thank you Michael for your very helpful detailed response. Good to know in what settings to use which recording mode. I plan to keep it mainly on 1080p as you, unless filming an event with quick moving images such as a sports match in which case I'll switch to 720p @ 60fpm. Thanks again for your input :)

Mike,Hello. The only decent editing software I found to work ok with the raw Vado HD files was Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate. When I tried Premiere Pro CS4 I experienced the same thing as you. I would get audio, but no video. It seems you might have to convert your footage first.Oscar V.

You wont see any videos on the sd card. Just double click on the video player to open it and you will see a list of all the videos. Then you can save any directly to your pc.

John:I bought this unit for my husband for Christmas and I just checked with him. He said that you can record directly from the TV into this unit. If you want to save the program after you have watched it, you need to save it to a disc while recording or once you watch it, it automatically deletes

Looks like it uses h.264 which is a quicktime format. Do you have quicktime installed? I'm a mac user and never use AVI's so I hope I'm correct in this assumption.

Does it take still pictures? Yes. There are seperate buttons for s.till photographs and live movie recording. Does it record audio only (such as music)?? As far as I am aware, it does not do that as a user selected item. I would be happy for someone to correct me if I am wrong. All the same, one could simply record video without any video input, and then turn that video file into audio only (after the recording is made) by using a program to strip out the audio only into its own mp3 file. Only takes a minute.

Sorry, Craig. I haven't been using any of the included software. I use Pinnacle 12, with the recent AVCHD update, but I still have trouble synchronizing the audio with the video. Have tried many things, including new video card. I have a fairly fast computer and lots of memory. The camera will convert to SD, but of course the image will not be nearly as nice. SD, however, is so much simpler to edit.I will admit, the more I use the camera, in basic, automatic modes, the more I like its features. The on board lamp does actually help, some. Color adjustment in auto mode still lacks, but overall, its a lot of camera for the money.Good luck, sir. Sorry, Craig. I haven't been using any of the included software.

And the answer is: yeah, sorta, kinda, maybe. Being curious, I tried to do it. First you have to save the video into a format VideoStudio 11.5+ can recognize. I initially tried saving as .avi through Zamzar but VS 11.5+ couldn't read it. Adobe Premiere Elements could read it. I then tried saving in .mov format and VS 11.5+ could open and read it but when I tried to burn a regular DVD, it produced a glitchy video. The opening and closing sections were good. It probably would work, just have to experiment a little.

I have made recordings with those wonderful Sony DVDirect (various models) of many live performances and duplicated the DVD afterward with duplicator (faster than via computer) for those who are interested. The footage can be captured and edited in the computer by Adobe Primier Element and Sony Vegas Movie Studio. I am not sure the footage can just be copied as a file into computer and expected it is editable.

No. It will capture in uncompressed AVI format or MJPG in AVI format using Blackmagic's custom codec.
