I'm considering buying a HD Camcorder (Panasonic HDC-SD10 for any of those with knowledge) for a Xmas present.
The person who its going to has the Panasonic TV which can play it straight off the SD card which is all well and good but I need to know more about how to rip the video off the card onto disc. The laptop they have is about 6 years old, 1.8ghz Athlon 64 processor, they have a DVD writer built in but only 80gb HD memory. In addition to this, they also have a Panasonic DVD player/recorder standalone attached to said TV (see the compatibility i'm seeing here?) however as DVD isnt HD, I'm trying to think of a way to get the video off the SD card without having to wait days for it to process on the old laptop. Does anyone else have a HD camcorder which they use without processing the results on the PC? |

You really need minimum of Dual Core, anything less and its jumpy.
Not sure about not using PC. I've got HDC-SD9 |

Couldn't you plug the camcorder straight into their dvd recorder. According to the specs, the camcorder has component (high quality) and composite (low quality) connections. The dvd recorder should certainly have a composite input.

Correct, I have an HD camcorder in fact it may even be the model in the OP (but i cant remember for sure), however the video playback on my PC (P9600 2.66GHz core2duo, GTX260M) still jumps about once every 3 seconds (@1680x1050 resolution). However once encoded to blu-ray and played back on my blu-ray player everything looks great and obviously it doesnt jump at all. If you want seemlees playback to a PC then you either need a very fast core2duo ~3.0 GHz or a Quad core to be save.

Excellent thanks for the assistance folks. I guess until he updates his tech, then recording to the DVD recorder will be perfectly reasonable.
HD for futureproofing, as at the moment, the DVD will only pick up SD. I know all about trying to run Hi-Def stuff through that laptop as I've got the same. Its bloody rubbish even trying to just watch HQ Youtube stuff. Must save up for a new one.. |
