Can hdv and avchd be used in the same project?

by oquen2001 Jul 10, 2010 3:06AM PDT

Hi, I have a little question. I am interested in filming a concert but, right now i only own 2 sony hvr-hd100u cameras i was interested in buying 3-4 more cameras but want ones with integrated HDD's I was looking at the Sony HXR-MC50U. Given its price, integrated HDD and quality. i wanted to know first of all if this camera (the Sony HXR-MC50U) is a good one and how does it fare in comparison with the hvr-hd100u. Second as you noticed the hvr-hd100u records in HDV and the HXR-MC50U in avchd, I wanted to know if i could use both of these formats in the same project and if the differences in quality, color, etc. not be so many. I currently edit in FCP 7.0.2. thanks!

I would say no. Hdv needs to be converted to avchd or both to some other format, depends on what you have in mind.
