Maybe it's the computer?
In preparation for recording a concert next week, I was making minor adjustments to one of my Vegas suites at work.
I ran tone from the audio board and colour bars from the switcher to a Vegas suite.
When the lines get to the room, they go into a JVC miniDV deck and then firewire into Vegas .
It's a dual monitor setup.
I fired up VidCap, hit record and then moved the capture window back and forth across the two monitors a few times.
Why I have no idea but I was just playing around.
As I was doing this, I noticed that the audio would drop out right at the point where VidCap crossed from monitor A to monitor B.
When I ended the capture, I noticed that several clips had been created instead of the one I expected.
Sure enough, each time the VidCap screen moved from one monitor to the other, it treated it as a scene break and started a new clip.
Edit suite #1 has a Dell quad core with Vegas 8.
Edit suite #2 has an IBM Intellistation with Vegas 7.
My original suspicion was the video card driver but it did this on both edit suites so now I'm not sure.
Has anyone ever seen this before?
BTW, I tried doing this (moving VidCap) while I was capturing a tape that had no timecode breaks and it did it to this capture as well :-(
