TOPIC!
You cannot combine data shot using a P2HD in a camera such as the AG-HPX500
and HDV data shot using an HDV camera on the same timeline in a non-linear editing
system. P2 system HD data is recorded using the DVCPRO HD codec while HDV
data is recorded using the MPEG-2@TS codec. As such, the data types are
completely different and combined editing on the same system is virtually impossible.
To edit HDV data and P2 data together, you need to convert the data to a uniform
codec by, for example, converting the HDV data to the DVCPRO HD codec.
