Panasonic DMC-TZ30 Changing video recording mode from AVCHD PRO to AVCHD
Hi I’ve recorded some video on this camera in AVCHD PRO mode, 1080/50p, but trying to change to AVCHD, because after I’ve copied footage to my Blu Ray Recorder a message stated I cannot copy it to DVD, which is what I’d like to door to Blu Ray Disc, but I can’t see anything in the handbook to amend to enable a setting that will do this ?Thankyou Hi Mike
The Pro is for progressive scan i.e. 50p, you need interlacem i..e. 50i.
Page 107 in the handbook shows the setting for 1920 x 1080 , 50p and 50i.
The 720 can only handle data rates upto 18Mb/s, with 50p the camera data rate is 28Mb/s, but 50i reduces this to 17Mb/s.
If you need to interlace, i.e. convert 50p to 50i, your existing recordings then VLC should be able to do this on a PC I used to convert my 1080 50p recordings to 720p in order to fit onto Blu Ray discs.
Nowadays I don't bother and just watch the original files via HDD/NAS drives so I can see them at the original quality. Also saves all the faff of authoring which I enjoyed doing early on but the novelty soon wore off.
Whatever you do NEVER go back to recording in 1080 50i !
