Capture bug

Trucci wrote on 9/9/2004, 9:37 PM

Whenever I try to capture a tape with Vegas 5 1.0b, it keeps splitting it into 2 or 3 clips. I DID uncheck the scene detection so that is not the problem. It splits at random spots in the tape. I am capturing 24p DVX100 footage with a PV-852 (used as a deck). It's very annoying and I have never had this happen to me with Vegas 4. I'm running XP home with p4 2.4ghz and a gig of ram. 160 gigs of hard disk space with about 100 free.

Thanks for any help

If you have timecode gaps, if you have dirt on the heads, if you have dropouts on the tape, these can all cause new scenes. Random points could indicate dirty heads.

Have you tried the batch capture to manually set the in and out points? Then, hopefully, it will capture anything, even if there's dropouts or dirt. But by all means - clean the cam and deck.
