compatibility with Renommee/Prestige

[camdad67]

Hi guys. I have two Renommees and two Prestiges. Can I download directly to my editors from a Canon XF 300 camcorder? It shoots on CF cards. But it can output mpeg-2. Is this mpeg-2 output the same as a mpeg-2 file from a miniDV camcorder? Thanks for any thoughts you guys can give me.

A Canon Professional Camcorder with ancient 19-15 year old editing systems won't fit

• A Prestige from 2001 can only record from analog or DV/HDV.
• A Renommee/Plus from 2006 with SmartEdit editing software is limited to analog + DV/HDV as well.
• A Renommee/Plus ULTRA from 2008 (with DVI on the back) uses the BogartSE editing software, capable of importing footage via USB up to 1920x1080p60.

I just imported test footage from a Canon FX-305 with BogartSE v12. So that should work with the FX-300 as well. But the audio is only taken from channel 1, if recording with multiple mono audio tracks.

So if you just have SmartEdit systems... download the BogartSE software to your PC and do the editing there. Free test/demo version for Windows 10: https://macromotion.info/version-en

Thank you mhuebmer. I appriciate you taking the time to educate me. ANCIENT editing systems? They belong to this century. S.H.I.E.L.D. Really! Thanks again. Have a good day.
