Panasonic GS19 frame rate

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hi

I have just purchased a Panasonic GS19 camcorder and am very pleased
with it but for one issue which I can't work out. I hope someone can
help.

The camcorder records at 30 fps and yet when I playback a recording one
frame at a time, there are two images for each frame. This then
becomes very apparent when I convert the miniDV format to the PC.

I partiularly notice this on a video of my golf swing (my main reason
for buying the camcorder in the first place). When I replay the golf
swing it appears as though I am swinging two golf clubs. I'd really
appreciate some advice?

Thanks

John
