I own a Sony CX410 and I am planning to use it to record my wedding at the weekend but I'm not sure which format would be best to record in? Obviously being my wedding it's one of those once in a lifetime home movies that you are going to want to get right - both in terms of quality and compatibility, but I'm not sure which setting to use to achieve this?
Obviously when I first bought the camera my instinct was to set it to PS 1080p 50p but this format seems largely unsupported - it won't for example play back via USB on my SmartTV. So now I'm in two minds whether to use this format to record my wedding? Is it just that this is the cutting edge standard and eventually tech will catch up with it?
Or would it be more sensible to use one of the other Highest Quality settings at 50i or 25p? Would I realistically notice any quality difference between these formats? In which case is it better to record it in a format that's compatible with most devices?
In which case the final choice is 50i or 25p? I've always associated interlacing with flickery picture, which makes me think 25p would be better, but I don't know how much impact of going from 50 to 25?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a complete novice when it comes to video camera formats - it was only really bought to record the wedding...
Any help or advice would be appreciated...
