JVC's D-VHS recorder will accept DV video into the system via a firewire cable. It then decodes to MPEG2 for recording. The firewire out is always MPEG2 on playback or DV loop thru during recording. Is there anyway to capture MPEG2 into Vegas Video using firewire??
The KDDI tool, or its originators is perhaps your key.
The transport streams of the HD camcorders and this DVHS deck have a lot in common. True, the DVHS can go to 28Mbps, so maybe this is an important difference if you always record in BEST.
Vegas as it stands can capture DV over firewire.
It can't capture SD or HD over SDI without 3rd party software or plug-ins - as it stands.
Yet it can deal with most formats once you've got them on your PC as files.
Then, assuming you want a different target- you can go out to most formats you can care to mention, directly or indirectly.
GVP - I posted pretty much the same question in these forums and you actually replied so I am sort of suprised you didn't go back and look there first. :) I searched and found answers on other forums and posted the answers on the SoFo forums in case someone else had questions...but so you don't have to use the search function here are the links: http://sonicfoundry.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?MessageID=195288&Page=0
I did look in the archives. However the question I responded to concerned upconverting DV to HD using the DH30K. I wasn't able to find any posting indicating if SoFo V4 could record MPEG2 files thru firewire. I will check your links. thanks
