I am using a DCR-HC85 (NTSC) and trying to capture a tape that was shot on a different (PAL) camera, don't know the model. I tried many times with different settings on the capture preference. Every time, only the beginning of the first clip screws up for about 10 to 20 seconds. The problem then goes away. The rest of the clip and subsequent clips are good.
The scene looks fine on my camera monitor, but in the preview window (with audio off already) the scenes are showing up in horizontal strips. 12 strips in all The odd number ones are moving while the even number ones are picked from a fixed scene and don't move with time. The same shows up in my captured clip. The effect is like looking through a window with Venetian blinds.
The tape was shot in PAL and I am using a NTSC camcorder to play it for capture. I think I have set all the appropriate settings to PAL, in both the capture preferences and in V6 project settings. I don't think it has to do with the system change because I remember I had the same problem with another NTSC tape shot by another NTSC camera.
I am not familiar with time sync and such and have been going through this forum but could not find postings other than dealing with audio sync. Do I have a problem with my camera, or is it in the settings?
Thanks, Fred
