i have a sanyo hd cam my self that is also only recording on sd card
not that panasonic crap they use in the movie

7 hour ist the time window of the events, not the time he is recording

it is hd recording h.264 for 1h 20 min on a 2 gb sd card

a 4 gb card max 15 euro / 21 $ (2h 40min)

a 8 gb sd card round about 30 euro /45 $ (5h 20min)

where is that "extreme expensive"???????


if youre gonna think so deep into that sd card/tape matter

think about something thousand times more important

whats about the battery????

everybody who also owns one of this stylish hand-sized
camcorders knows what i am talking about

the battery is NEVER NEVER NEVER matching the capacity of your sd card

-7 hour time window
-always ready to film
-usage of the cam light

even with energy saving set to max
(lcd screen off after 15 sec without cam usage......)

3 or even 4 fully charged battery packs minimum for a 8gb sd card

To save myself that puzzle, I just assumed that Hud grabbed batteries when Rob did.

Hmm thats cool... i got an Xacti C6 as well... the awesomest sanyos around!!! and I know its off topic but where on earth do you buy a 8G sd card for that kinda cheap??? In hawaii were lucky to get a decent 2G for $50 bucks...

oh yeah very true the battery to "cardability" ratio is very important!!

I just assumed that the characters use of the word "tape" was common shorthand that many people use. A friend of mine has one of those TiVo recorders, but she always says that she "taped" a show.

2gb for 50$ omfg thats really expensive

here in germany sometimes they sell sd cards in the supermarkets besides the tomatoes 2 for 1 2x2gb for 25 euros /36 $


even 16gb sdhc here in germany for 80$ compared to your 2gb 50$

but dont be jealous

for eg the prices for cpu or grafic cards are just crap

they chance the dollar sign with the euro

means 500 dollar grafic cards costs 500 euro here

that are 730 dollar

so whats more worse?

and @ bill the movie is 81 min but the events take place on a 7 hour time window means 7 hours of beeing ready to film

Just to throw a little wrench into everything here:

I have a camcorder that uses both SD cards and Mini DV tapes. So there could be the possibility of the tape playing while the SD card is stopped. I think this is highly unlikely, but I figured this should be considered.

Additionally, could it be possible that the Beth/Rob footage wasn't filmed over at all and that the editor of this footage somehow spliced this stuff in?

The slide at the beginning of the film says:

[manygrumpypants]

to tape = to record

[Lambo_Diablo_Svtt]

Yea, about the battery life, he only filmed like... about 74 minutes, with the flashlight on for about... 1-2 mins?

That seems reasonable for a new battery.

Having seen it a second time now, I'd like to note that there could've been charging time between the initial shots as the party is being set up. Also keep in mind that all the 'flashback' footage is not going to impact the batteries.

The light was on for more than 1-2 minutes I think, but Hud wasn't recording the whole time they were hiking the tracks either. Not too powerful a light on that camera either. My mom's older DV camera with tape (and hence motors which eat power quickly) can do as long as the 'current' day's events without problems.
