Laurence (with his theatrical antecedents) will perhaps have some
insight into the relative cost of conventional lighting units.
At the moment, LEDs are expensive. AS you saw from the link I
quoted. But technology always comes down in price.

I'm running a 42 LED array for a fill light right now. Works well and will
run for a couple of days on a small LiON battery pack. I know of a guy
running a 192 LED (about 12 Watts power consumption) array with good
results. These are arrays that were purchased from LEDTronics and adapted
for video use.
Note that these are not 500 watt halogen equivalents. But with modern
cameras, 500 watts may be overkill depending on the application. |

Can you give a part number (or description)?
I didn't see anything on their website that jumped
out as a prime candidate. |

I'm just getting gobbledegook from these clips. Am I doing something wrong?

I tried that, and they won't play in Windows Media Player 10.

In the hands of a good DOP / lighting Camera op this camera is going to be
fantastic...

I forget where I saw it, but I recall a DVD with a "making of" feature where
the director suggests using Vaseline on the lens to hide wires or something.
I can see it as a legitimate technique for getting that absurdly soft focus
and flare that K-Tel use when advertising '70s hippy music compilations. |

BTW, to be technically accurate about this, you NEVER put vaseline on the lens
itself, you put it on a clear filter *over* the lens.
One that you will be throwing away after the shoot. |

Are you using the GDL002 FloodLED unit? Tell us how you are using it. On
people? How far away? Using anything between the light and the subject?
The difference between light levels on center and 20 degrees off the
centerline seems substantial. How does that affect the way you use it?

I am finding my Sony TRV-950 doesn't allow me to get close-up shots so
well.
Not macro, but groups of nearby people. Sony sells a wide-angle
attachment,
VCL-HG0737X, which looks like it may do the trick. Does anyone have any
feedback regarding this piece of hardware? Is there another, posibbly
better alternative?

In ULEAD render your clips out as DV Type 2. That should solve your problem.

Is there just no compatability with the files?
