Another Vegas versus Sound Forge Question

TedK wrote on 1/6/2003, 1:35 PM

Soon, we will be doing video capture at our church during our services. I know that Sound Forge has the ability to index or mark an audio file while it is recording to disk such that when you edit and finally burn a CD, the mark becomes a new track on the CD. My question is, can Vegas do the same thing while recording a live video feed? I need to know if I need to buy both Vegas and Sound Forge so that I can achieve the same effect when we need to burn an "audio only" CD or cassette.

Thanks in advance.
Ted

As far as i've been able to tell, VidCap doesn't have this feature. Vegas lets you drop markers while recording audio, but it doesn't record video; only VidCap does that. This is definately a feature i'd like to see added to VidCap though! Since VidCap can already detect DV scene changes (via timecode discontinuities), it seems like it would be possible to manually trigger one through a keypress or mouse click. In fact, i'd like to see the ability to either start writing a new file (which is the present function) or drop a marker and keep writing the current file. Either of these operations should be available both from scene changes or user interaction.

I don't know nuffink about video recording, but if you are recording a video track along with an audio track (or 2) , hitting 'M" during record drops markers (although 'Help' only mentions during *playback* !) , which should be synchronised with the video track.
