Yep. I am doing the exact same process on the same section of tape. With regular capture, I start capturing but then I have to wait till I get to the end of the 20-minute segment and click stop. Then I have all my scenes nicely detected. So, I figured I could just do the same thing using advanced capture, setting in and out points, so I could walk away and come back with all these nicely captured clips. But, instead, I get one big clip.

smhontz - I know it is a lot to ask . .but could you copy paste your Capture settings into a reply here? Then we could all crawl over them - yeah? - I know it's a pain .. but maybe, maybe there's some tiny itsybitsy thingy that is catching you out .. .

Grazie

In Advanced capture, YOU determine the start and stop points for batch capturing. It capture exactly what YOU specify. If you want scene detection, you DON'T want Advanced Capture.

I understand that. But I think it would be very useful to be able to set in and out points, AND have it do scene detection within those points. Sometimes I have tapes with several different segments on them, but I want the segments broken up by scenes. So, I don't want to necessarily sit and watch them and log all the in and out points; I just want to capture the segments, break them into separate scene files, and then I can throw away what I don't want.

Is that too much to ask?

It's just 13 GB for one hour = 1 tape. Make a basic capture with scene detection and throw away the scenes you don't need. Or use ScLive for capturing. Or capture just the section of the tape you need and split the file afterwards with scenalyzer (the old, free variety).

Ok, I guess I'm going to have to accept the fact that there is no way around something that seems to me to be a "no-brainer" feature since scene detection was already there for regular capture. The way I work, I write down what goes in each segment of tape and where they begin and end. So, when I want to capture, I already know the beginning and end points of the segment - I just want to key them in, tell it to "go" and walk away while it blissfully captures everything and breaks it into nice scenes. I was hoping someone had a "trick" that would let me do this.

'Nuff said.
