Scene detect comes in 2 flavours:

1 - Date/Time Change: This is where you start and stop filming. VEgas VidCap does this very well

2 - Scene Change: This is where . .well . . . where there is enogh of a scene change to warrant a "new" clip. I've had my experience of this, wasn't really pleased with it . . Scenealyzer does this. Get the Demo download and see if it is what you are after.

IMHO: I MOSTLY film for the edit. This means that I stop and start cammie for those scenes anyway. Having scene detect for when I pan or move the camera and have this "slplit" the footage seems a bit daft . .YES I can see the use for this, but it isn't the way I work, film, edit and provide a product to a client.

Regards,

On re-reading your post you've already got the avi captured . .Why didn't you capture with Vegas Vicap? You've got my first option open to you . .I don't understand . . I suppose there maybe a script out there that "splis" on changes in timecode . . any takers on this?

Grazie

The original, free version of Scenalyzer can take an existing DV file and break it into individual clips based on Time/Date stamp changes. Of course, this only works if you captured your file directly from the DV camcorder via Firewire and not used, for example, the Pinnacle DV500's analog to DV capture. In that case, the free Scenalyzer can use the optical scene recognition method. You can download it from this page:
