Customer Review: Can't get the recordings to play outside the camera
Summary: 1 Stars
I'll start by saying that when I purchased this camera, and first started using it, I was very pleased. The instant-focus is great, the image quality and colors seem true to life. I say "seem" because as great as this camera might be at recording, the result will be worthless unless you only want to watch it play back on the camera's screen.
To begin with, Canon is lying when they say this is true 1920x1080 progressive. If you read carefully, they only say that this is true of the CMOS, but not the video it records -- like that technicality is supposed to get them off the hook. No matter what the setting are, the video recorded is INTERLACED. Also, the proprietary format cannot be played anywhere I have found yet. And I've spend HOURS (probably several man-days) looking for a way to reliably play back the video. Keep in mind, I have a Ph.D. in computer science, and I have given up on being able to watch all the footage I've recorded. The best solution I found is to purchase another program (elecard) for $75 to convert all the footage to mpeg2 (takes tons of storage), and worry about it later.
SO BEWARE: you will have fun recording with this camera, but you will not be able to playback the video without spending a lot more time AND money. I don't mind the money so much, but I don't have the time to convert each recorded sequence to some useful format.
Even the software that comes with the camera is worthless -- the audio and video loose sync.
Why can't camcorder companies do what digital stills do: record to .avi or .mov or some format that can be copied to harddrive and just played back?
