I shot some video with a Canon Elura 2MC DV cam. I'm importing the footage into a program that requires film back width and height along with focal length information to work properly.
Does anyone know how I can find out these values?
Thanks,
BR

(1cm) on maximum wide angle So the footage was shot with the Lens zoomed out to the widest point at all times. Any tips on calculating the focal length? I'm kind of a math retard ![]() Thank you for any help p.s. I assume finding out the film back is going to be impossible? http://www.videomaker.com/article/8074/ I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.
