Will this only convert to MPEG 2 or will it do MPEG 4? MPEG 4 seems to be the new standard, isn't it?

yeah, it only renders to mpeg 2, but I edit using sony Vegas software to render my final video as mp4 and it looks pretty good. If you are have internet access you are supposed to be able to download a codec that allows the Hauppauge to capture as MP4, but I have not done that. hope this helps.

I have not used for a long time, but the format is not a problem, as there are numerous softwares to convert video to any format.

I thought it recorded in MPEG4, but for me it didn't matter. I edit and render in MPEG4 with Sony Vegas anyway.

MPEG 2 is the standard and is superior to MPEG 4. Do a search for comparison info. You can avoid bad info that some people are giving here.

In order to future proof yourself for the technical change coming soon, you should get a box that is 8PSK capable. This includes all the VIP models and Hoppers, which are also MPEG4 capable. For Standard Def boxes, only a few models 8PSK capable. However, it may best to stick with the MPEG4 boxes should Dish make Western Arc (110, 119, 129) all MPEG4 further in the future.

make sure the format of the video/movie is compatible - Creative Labs specifies there are incompatibilities if you use other software to convert

Yes, I've got it set up that way, and it's working fine for me. I run XBMC, so I've remapped it for that, but before that, I tested it with the built-in Windows Media suite, and that worked out of the box.

2013 models do not have the required codec for 4K streaming. Firmware update, in the future (???), to rectify this problem, or is this Sharp 4K model ALREADY obsolete???

No....nor will it work on any other program other than windows media center. Unless you can find some type of converter. Forget the DCR2650. I had nothing but problems with it. Get the Silicon Dust Homerun Prime.

I don't see why not. I didn't check what the codecs were but had no problems playing the video on an old Windows Vista desktop. The wrapper is listed as MP4 on dashcamtalk (but no mention of the video or audio codec). I can check if you need to know...just need to pull the card out tonight when I get home.

Yes and i don't think so but i'm not sure. I convert to AVI files or mpeg mostly.

I had one of these sony recorders. I could not get the thing to work right. It made 1 or 2 Dvds, & that was it. I sent it back, got my money back, & never used one again. I do not think it will covert the codec( the NTSC) format, but I'm not sure. Do you have a computer? If you do, There's a huge variety of dvd direct to pc coverter systems to chose from. I'd try that.

From Sony's site: Import - AAC, AA3, AIFF, AVI, BMP, CDA, FLAC, GIF, JPEG, MP3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MVC, OGG, OMA, PCA, PNG, QuickTime, SND, SFA, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WMV, XAVC S Export - AAC, AC3, AA3, AIFF, AVC, AVI, BMP, FLAC, JPEG, LPEC, MP3, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MVC, OGG, PCA, PNG, TIFF, QuickTime, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WMV, XAVC S. Note that this is not meant to be a format converter - there will be some loss importing in one format and exporting in another. For just converting from one format to another there are a lot of good freeware programs out there. And for some strange reason Sony Movie Studio 13 still refuses to support FLV format. ???

This model does not support HDCP 2.2. This will only be an issue if you want to play some future Ultra HD 4K content in the future. If you don't plan on upgrading to 4K in th very near future then HDCP 2.2 compatibility should not be a concern.

I never use the format MP4. I just use to play the BD and standard DVD. I wish I could help you more.

The version I received does indeed strip HDCP. However, there is no 100% guarantee (although very likely) that the one you'll receive will do the same.

I've had no problems streaming various media formats including h.264, avi, mpg2, and wmv to my LG TV and PS3. So I think the transcoding works fairly well. I don't subscribe to Plex Pass, so I can't report on how well it works there transcoding for other devices.

No. It will capture in uncompressed AVI format or MJPG in AVI format using Blackmagic's custom codec.

I have a JVC mg555, and I just changed a vid file ext to .mpg.WMM imports it, but is not reading the video part only audio. Weird. I am still working on it.
