During caputuring from my DV-camcorder I see that per scene a AVI file is created. When I stop capturing (stop button in Vegas capture), I get the message "no video captured" and all the created AVI-files are deleted.
How did you start capturing?
How did you see that AVI files were created?
Sorry, I don't know about anyone else but I think we need more info to help you.
How did you start capturing?
> I connected my Camcorder and Vegas Capture starts. I push the button capture from start tape. And the capturing starts.
How did you see that AVI files were created?
> With the Windows Explorer in the folder My documents. The AVI files are created starting each new clip (scene).
Now this is wierd, unless I've really missed something you've got to start the capture app manually, once their I'd suggest you look into disk management to get your capture files going somewhere logical, preferably not your system drive.
No, the capture app starts automaticly. I start capturing from the begin of the tape.
I have to set a logical place for my capture videos. First i have to get captured some video's.
I'm a bit in the dark on this, I don't run under XP and I think you've assigned the VV capture app as the default device to handle the Microsoft DV device. I'd suggest you try to diable that or else leave the camera connected and start capture from within VV and see if that works, just capture a small section of tape to see if it works.
As fa as I know VV will never delete a file without asking first so i suspect XP is screwing with the capture app.
This sounds suspiciously like the "minimum clip length" bug that's been reported before. In VidCap, under Options / Preferences / Capture, try UNchecking the minimum clip length setting.
I have had issues with my JVC being captured through VV and turing out garbage.
Once it captured in pal format (even though the camera does not provide this option) and last weekend it captured one tape perfectly. The second tape it captured in a strange (I forget the dimensions but not pal) format and was unable to read the video when loaded to the timeline. (Tapes were shot with same camera settings, both new tapes, each 45 mintes of a 90 minute total show)
Given the reliability of VV, I question the camera. Reverting to an analog capture works more reliably.
This is a known bug in PAL mode in Vegas. You need to go to options/preferences/capture (or is it advanced capture?) in the capture app and disable (uncheck) minimum clip length and ...(now what was the other one that has to be disabled? Sorry I'm not in front of Vegas at the moment and can't remember what the other box says but it's right there on the same tab..) Promise I'll be more helpful when I get home later...
