I've been recording in the highest quality mode - 3 hrs eats up 32 gig. At some point I want to start getting these shows in a format that I can put on a DVD, etc. Am I wasting time and space recording in this mode? Just wondering if this it the video equivalent to taping in 24/96......Any advise would be great. Thanks, Dan
I have the vixia m40 series (discontinued awhile back), and I typically record the best or the second best mode, as I find that those two are pretty similar once you get them on dvd. It might be better for you to just make them into hd mp4 and burn into a DVD for backup so you can still view it as a HD source instead of a SD source..
Or you might be able to upload HD shows into your private youtube collection, so you can watch it anywhere! * I do this for the classical recitals I record, I upload to youtube HD so those kids can send links for their friends, families and relatives.
