Intermittent Blue Screen when Printing to Tape

Bryman wrote on 12/8/2001, 7:17 PM

I have a Pentium 4 running Windows ME. I have a Dazzle IEEE board in the box and a Dazzle Hollywood DV-Bridge. The Firewire connects from the box to the Bridge and then I output from the back of the Bridge to my analog VCR. I am running the demo version of VV3 and am having a problem when I want to output to my Analog VCR. I start Capture XPress 3.0 and select the "Print to Tape" tab after opening an AVI clip. I then choose "Preview on Device", start the VCR and everything begins like it should. After a while, usually within the first minute, at various times, the preview monitor will go blue. It then comes back and runs for a while longer until it goes out again. What gets recorded on the tape is identical to what's on the preview monitor.

Let me know if you have any ideas on what I can try to fix this.

Thanks.

I have almost the same problem except I loose color only. Every thing else is great. I have tried different clips and it seems to happen at random. by the way do you have any problem batch capturing.

I have not tried batch capturing but I also have the same problem with the color coming and going. Forgot about that one. It seems like the signal is fading and that is when the preview screen goes blue.

Please check out this print to tape FAQ which also applies to capturing, too:
