Not quite correct. HDV can be captured to a drive/firestore or flash based memory device.
ie it's not strictly a tape based format.
Be interesting to see how the upcoming Scarlet stacks up.

, although HDV does have trouble keeping up with fast moving action but as it most probably wont be seen on the big screen the inadequacies will be difficult to spot for most punters. Red Code raw is a variable bitrate wavelet codec, more like JPEG 2000. Lossy, sure, but nowhere near HDV which is a...

what about a paper airplane?

New developments in small HD "pov cams" eg Sony HXR-MC1P.....will provide a missing link for this kind of crash cam application. Easy to build a water-proof housing for and run continously. Still need to have the budget to write a few off though. Holy shitte that is phukn amazingly crisp. A fully ki...

[ Anyway it never stopped the surf school bloke taking the punters out in the river near the bridge for lessons :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: Hahahahaa.......old Tez....one of the loosest cannons god ever set breath into. There's alot of crew hoping to catch on film the first bull shark attack on a...

jeezus Don, with this obsessive focus your almost guaranteeing yourself a cyclone in the Solomons when your there.

Mate, after that kid got chomped at North Wall in April the break wasn't surfed for phukn 3 months. The area was infested with bull sharks following the rain/mullet season. Crowds definitely go down at spots around here after shark attacks....maybe not the Pass...cause half a phukn million people eq...

I don't have a problem with one of Vic's main theses : that an unaccounted percentage of people missing presumed drowned are actually shark attack victims. Also believe the science regarding shark numbers is highly dubious. In this area the sightings of Great whites and encounters/attacks is increas...

I was gunna go see that film last night (Under the Sun) at the Northern but was too phucked after a fun late session at Lennox Point.
Planning on checking it out and reviewing it.
Free-Ride era Hawaii is a pretty well-ploughed paddock....wonder how much fresh insight there is.

Hey Don, the forecast for Wed was bumped up to 3-5. Which seems pretty on the money. Lot of noise in the signal here (lennox Head).Lump and gurgle. Seems the direction is a bit more south of East than expected. And thus Northern NSW seems a bit bigger than north of the border. Know where I'd be goin...

roughly oval with a thin translucent sail ? small purple tentacles fringing the deep blue oval base? Thats a "by the wind sailor" (vellela vellela), a pelagic hydroid (relative of jellyfish), common around the world. Nematocysts that don;t affect human beings. Does pose an interesting dilemma for ve...

Fair enough Steve, but would you care to have a crack at a possible solution? Well one step in the right direction would be to remove the massive subsidies paid by taxpayers to support conventional ag (less so in Aus, true but still there) vs Organic ag , which receives no Govt support at all. That...

..... the efficiency improvements in Ag over the last 25yrs have essentially meant a lot more food from less, a signficant benefit to all. Woefully, laughably inaccurate. Your confusing efficiency with yield : which in conventional agriculture is purely a function of fossil fuel inputs (chemical fe...

I eat meat and come from a farming family, but that is total bullshitt. Please explain how you figure that out.

I find it troubling that people seem to be proud of their lack of compassion. How far down the chain does your compassion extend? Does it extend to bacteria, mosquitos, viruses. Every ideological movement to impose compassion on human beings, including the biblical parable quoted has only lead to t...

i'm a vego surfer and i've seen lots of animals killed to be eaten by humans - cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, goats, a buffalo, frogs, dogs, fish and many more i forget right now. i've also seen a couple of humans be killed by humans, but i don't think they were eaten afterwards. my grandfathe...

yeah, GFS and EC doing a strange paso doble on the chances of cyclogenesis in the CS next week.
Only small areas of favourable uppers.......

I thought with all the cuzzy bros over here, it might make it a bit lighter ie easier to tow away Damm thing is smack bang in the road as the fetch intensifies. aarrggh. I like the look of the storm track so far though....long wave trough steering things sou-east and a quasi stationary monsoonal gyr...
