My work is looking to make a purchase on some small handheld HD^2 (that's High-def, and hardrive) cams. We already have 3 Sony FX-1's, these smaller cams would be to give out to people that aren't neccesarily part of the production department.
My boss suggested the JVC's. The problem I'm finding with all these HD (that's Harddrive) based cams is the software required for extracting the video. I'm looking for an "open" format, that would enable drag and drop importing. We don't want to have to install this proprietary importing software on all the pc's and have to worry about mac compatibility as well. Any ideas?
