Uploaded as 640x480 wmv best quality.
This camcorder gives reasonably good colour
results in strong sunlight. Anything less
than this, the colour tends to be washed-out.
Moving or out-of-focus objects show definite
blueing around edges. A good-buy 'snapshot'
camcorder in it's range, but not one to buy
if you want quality results.
Video editing suites can increase saturation,
but will drastically reduce quality and
increase pixelation with JVC GR-D270/290
range movies.

Camcorder:
Sony HDR-HC7E set at wide screen High Def.
Converted to Standard Def mpeg2 in Sony Vegas
7.
Mpeg2 converted to Zune H264 640x480 mp4
though Ulead Studio 11 Plus.
Converting wide-screen Hi-Def vids down to
Standard Def seems to produce a better
quality than shooting in Standard Def,
although with commensurate vertical
elongation.
There is a view that a video should be
rendered down to 320x240 as You Tube uses
it's own programming to reduce it to that
level anyway, and that any program the user
has will normally be better than You Tube's
own. Through experiment I've found that this
is not necessarily so; user-rendering to
320x240 seems to produce more pixelation and
smear than that to 640x480.

| Another day at Grantham 16/11/2007 Part 1 |
 |
Me and Kevin went to Grantham last friday to
film trains which most of them were GNER
225's and HST's as well as several DMU's like
the Class 153, 156 and the 158's. I was
shocked that we didn't see any turbostars at
all passing through Grantham. Not even one.
Though Stagecoach East Midlands Trains now
operate the Nottingham to Skegness and the
Nowich - Liverpool Lime Street services.
Central Trains is now history and GNER is
soon to follow! :(. I will do a special video
to GNER trains on the 5th next month. May
GNER be in our hearts in the future? It sure
will be in mine. Though on the upside of
things, we can enjoy the Hull Trains livery
for a bit longer as they are not up for grabs
yet for atleast a few years ;).
