Hi
I have read all the other threads on this subject and I would like to clarify my understanding.
If I buy a high def camcorder to record on mini dv e.g hv20 and only use the high def settings - then there is no issue about playing back on a UK TV as high definition is high definition and there is no issue.
Secondly as I am unlikely to do much editing then the pal v ntsc debate is largely irrelevant - am I correct in this assumption? To be honest I do not understand the relevance of the 50i/60i - what exactly is it going to effect?
Backing up to a hard drive is also not an issue.
However if I try and reduce the footage to SD to play on an older tv set then that may involve a few extra steps but knowing me I am unlikely to do so.
So in theory, would it be correct for me to assume that whether I purchase a ntsc or pal model is largely irrelevant?
thanks
sam
