Sony’s first tablet was launched in the UK and they’ve announced a huge incentive to go and buy one.

The first 100 customers buying a Sony Tablet S at PC World on Tottenham Court Rd will get a free 32 inch Sony Bravia TV. Amazingly, the TV is worth ￡400 which is the same price as 16GB WiFi only version of Sony’s tablet.

Doors will open at 7am and we guess you’ll have to camp overnight in order to get one of the 100 free TV’s, so you best start getting ready to go down there.

Sony also offer a 32GB WiFi and 3G model which is priced at ￡499 and we think that Sony have a better chance than most at competing with Apple for a number of reasons. The Sony brand is well established and trusted, they have experience in the phone and PC market and have huge financial power behind them for marketing.

If you want to adjust parameters that affect video quality and file size for the video you prefer, just click on “Settings” to open a profile setting window where you could easily set bitrate, frame rate, codec, channels, sample rate, etc.

I have a Sony HDR SR-11, and the latest version of FCPro operating on MAC PRO with OS X 10.5.4.

I used log and transfer to bring up all of the video clips.

I imported them (with audio) and converting audio to stereo.

When I played the video’s back in FCPro, all of the audio was out of sync.

Are there other settings that I need to set before importing to avoid this problem?
Any idea how to prevent this?

AVCHD log and transfer problems

Please help….

I have a Panasonic AG-HSC1U and am having a VERY hard time ingesting footage. Sometimes log & transfer works and sometimes it doesn’t. Mostly the later. The path selected is to the “No Name” disc. Which works about 20% of the time. I tried trashing the preferences, this seemed to help for a few times, but then that stopped working. I also cleared the cache which worked once…yes once. This is extremely frustrating. I have tried to get the footage in via the 40GB storage device with the same issues. It seems that the update for ingesting the AVCHD footage is not up to par. Any suggestions, othet than reinstalling FCP?
