Video shot using Hi8 Cam / Final compression: Mpeg1

Location: Tenggaroh, Mersing Johor

Date: 7 September 2003

The video was shot using Sony Hi8 which did not produce crispy clear footage due to the tape format (Hi8) and the compression, Mpeg1. I had sold the handycam in 2004 and was quite surprised as I still managed to get RM1K from it even though the tech was already approaching its end. The brand new price was around RM2200 (2002).

I think the Hi8 format has become obselete due to several factors that contribute to its downfall. Nowadays Mini DV tape is the top choice format. It is widely used by broadcasting companies apart from the HDV tape which can produce HD quality video (1080p), Blu Ray. The image will not be stretched to fit 16:9 widescreen TV as opposed to 720 X 480 DVD SD format Mpeg2. It is noticeable if you compare the two formats side by side but the difference is not that obvious. Better go for HD as it can be converted to SD (standard definition) which is popular with CRT TVs (cathode ray tube); downgrade assistance. If it is SD, slight image distortion is expected but not too much as mentioned earlier.

HD handycam Vs SD Cam

HD is the future and it is here to stay. There are many reasons for using HD camcorders instead of SD camcorders, but the basics are the frame rates, low light capabilities, the higher sound quality, better larger picture, and lastly, the price for a good HD camcorder nowadays.

The frame rates are a big deal in the area of fast motion sports and action movies. These are what many prosumers would use a good camera for, usually something like recording their sons/teams sports games for review in the future (Especially football teams), short indie movies and documentaries (lots of times involving animals that run vary fast for Discovery Channel type videos), or even extra cameras to get better takes on action movies. The frame rate of a HD 30p camera is faster than 24p, meaning more footage will be taken, making the action look a lot more smooth and making something like slow motion look a lot more fluid and realistic.
Also, most HD camcorders have better low light capabilities. Most HD camcorders have what is called 3CCD's (I won't get too far into the technical aspect), and these cause the camera to generate more footage using less light. This way, you don't get the poppy, noisy (slang term for the random white lights you see in the dark), and wrongly colored video that you would receive from an SD camera.
The heightened sound quality also makes recording on an HD camera more sufficient. Most prosumer cameras with XLR in's that are SD will record 12-bit 44.1 KHZ, that is slightly below CD quality sound. Therefore, most studios would by external recorders and have to edit in the sound in the post production. If you record in HD, however, you get 16-bit 44.1 KHZ MPEG-II sound, which is cd-quality. Therefore, unless you are a super-high end broadcast station and you feel some random need for more sound quality (a bit of sound quality that the average ear cannot tell a difference whether it's there or not), you are set for recording your sound direct to tape and sounding professional.
The main thing that people notice about HD cameras is the better picture quality, but what actually attributes to that? The amount of pixels a normal SD prosumer camera like the Canon XL-2 has is .5 megapixels, compared to the HD cameras that have on the low end 2 megapixels. That's 4 times the amount of image data! Also, the picture that is captured is much bigger, therefore when you are to watch it on a screen, it is usually shrunken to fit the screen unlike in SD where it is stretched

Blu-ray vs. DVD

 

Blu-ray vs. DVD

Blu-ray is fairly similar to DVD. The players look the same, the discs look the same, and even the disc menus are similar. So why pay more?

Blu-ray brings three major improvements over DVD: better image quality, better sound quality, and more special features. All three are made possible by the larger storage capacity of Blu-ray, which is capable of storing 50GB of information on a single Blu-ray Disc, compared with DVDs, which can hold about 8GB.
What's better about Blu-ray? Image quality: Superior resolution is a big part of what makes Blu-ray look great. In layman's terms, this means you'll see a more detailed image: more clearly defined strands of hair, wrinkles in clothing, etc. The technical difference is that Blu-ray's maximum resolution is 1,920x1,080 progressive scan, while DVD is limited to 720x480 (480p). Beyond resolution, Blu-ray also uses better video-compression methods, resulting in more contrast and richer colors. If you like the way HD from your cable or satellite provider looks, Blu-ray looks even better. It's the highest-quality video format available today, and in some ways it surpasses the picture quality of your local movie theater, especially when shown on a good-performing HDTV or projector.
Audio quality: Audio quality is also improved. New high-resolution soundtrack formats, such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, are essentially identical to the studio master, so you'll be hearing things exactly as the director and audio engineers intended.
Special features: Blu-ray also has additional special features over DVD. The most basic innovation is the pop-up menu, which allows you to access the menu functions while the movie continues playing. Other innovations include picture-in-picture video commentary and the ability to download new content right from your Blu-ray player, although your player needs to have the right Blu-ray profile to access these features. In our opinion, the special features on Blu-ray have mostly been underwhelming and aren't a good reason to upgrade.
What's worse about Blu-ray? Cost: Blu-ray's main drawback is cost. Prices for players are still generally over RM700 and movies cost about RM150. While the one-time cost of a player isn't that bad, the cost of building up a new Blu-ray library really adds up. At least it's possible to pick and choose which movies you "buy Blu," since every Blu-ray player can also play standard DVDs.
Available titles: Another downside is that the number of titles on Blu-ray is still much smaller than DVD.
Load times: When Blu-ray first came out, load times were unbearable; it could take more than 3 minutes to load a movie. Since then, players have gotten much faster, but they still don't compare with the speed of loading a DVD. While simple Blu-ray movies can load in about 20 seconds on a good Blu-ray player, movies with complex menus still take close to a minute and a half to get to the actual movie, regardless of the player.
