Hello, complete noob to camcorders. I bought a Panasonic HDC-SD900 today as my partner is due to give birth in the next 48 hrs and I want to capture the very first visits of family to the new child. I don't have the computer or software to support the camera yet. Just got it asap and as high spec as I could in an attempt to 'future-proof'. If I record in 1080/50p mode, will I eventually be able to save that file, then copy the file so I have two copies and then lower the file spec of one of them so that it could be put onto a traditional DVD etc? I appreciate that I could record at a lower spec and go straight to DVD, but I want to be able to keep the best quality that I can for when I can finally afford all the other stuff that I will need to enjoy the footage in its highest spec. Sorry to waffle, but not techy and no experience. Just want to catch those first moments for prosperity! Thanks for any advice, Sulis
