What flash based camcroder should I pick up?

Q. I'm heading to D.C. next month and I wanted a camcorder to record the whole trip. It will also be used to capture a podcast, that to this point has been audio only. My requirements:

Linux Compatible
HD (1080p)
Under 200$ more towards 100$
(optional) LANC jack, so I can plug in an external microphone

A couple of years ago this would have been impossible, now I think it might be do-able. Thanks for the answers!

A. LANC is not a mic input. LANC is a wired remote control for zoom, focus, photo and power.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LANC

The least expensive camcorder with a LANC port is the Sony HDR-HC9. It also has a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo mic jack and manual audio control. It is a miniDV tape based camcorder that does 1080i HDV format high definition digital video capture.

1080p camcorder's in your price range are typically "pocket camcorders" with small lenses and small single imaging chip. The resulting low-light behavior is typically not very good. Generally speaking, they record to either AVI or MOV highly compressed h.264 formats. Whether this is "Linux compatible" is sort of important - but what matters more is if the video editor you are using can deal with the video format. I am not aware of any camcorder in the "pocket cam" range with a mic jack (and most certainly none have a LANC port) - but you can check the Sanyo Xacti lineup or the Kodak Zi8. Even if they have a 1/8" mic jack, they do not have manual audio gain control so loud audio will likely cause a very muddy audio (and static - "peaking") to be recorded because of the dependency on the auto-mic gain circuit.


Why are my videos spilitting in widnows movie maker?
Q. My videos in windows movie maker from my Hd 1080p Camcorder are being split about 1/4 of the screen and its reaaly slow Anything I can do?

A. maybe resolution problem, you know the screen of HD video are far more larger than that of the SD video, windows movie maker usually read SD video like avi, wmv, mpg etc, therefore in order to make HD video workable with windows movie maker, you need to change the videos to proper format that windows movie maker accepts, and this is simply what iorgsoft video converter can do, it can convert from HD to SD, SD to SD etc, so just feel free to Google iOrgsoft Video Converter to get a big gift, hope the advice can be of help to you :)
