HDV: A Dying Format

[Jerry Jones]

In my opinion, HDV camcorder sales will drop significantly in the second half of 2007, and drop sharply in 2008. That is only a short 5-year life-span: 2004 -2008.

Panasonic's AVC-Intra and Grass Valley's JPEG2000 intra-frame compression are slated to soon dominate professional HD acquisition, editing and storage in my opinion, pushing out MPEG-2 long GOP before it could establish itself as DV's dominant replacement. Intra-frame HD acquisition is back with full force in 2007, more desirable than ever.
