Can this be done (Video Capture)...?

Could someone please tell me, can you set the capture length/time for capturing analog video? Hours, minutes, seconds???

I am using a Canopus ADVC-100 capturing analog video.

Thank you very much.

Why?

With Analog, you have to manually start & stop. When capturing from DV tape, you can use batch capture to set start and stop times. The reason analog is manual is because it does not have a timecode.

I too use a ADVC-100 to capture analog. I created a Visual Basic Macro in Microsoft Excel to start and stop Vegas Video Capture. If you have Excel loaded on your PC, let me know if you would like a copy. It's not pretty, but it does work. It emulates starting and stopping as if you were using your keyboard ('SendKeys' command in Visual Basic).

Hi All,

As bdunn notes, macros are handy for this type of stuff...

There is a nice freeware keyboard macro program called Remotekeys that is great with Vegas. Peek at the "Macros" tut below for more info.
