Sorry, Vegas only outputs through a 1394, and doesn't support recompression to the MJPEG hardware codec. You can attach a converter such as ADVC-100 and output to VCR that way. Or you can edit in Vegas, render to MJPEG, then output from Studio, which is what I do. I'm still on Win 98SE and Studio 1.06, which is stable for this purpose.

You should be able to playback the MJPEG rendered videos in Video Capture's Print to Tape tab and have them output to the DC10Plus. I've used the DC30 this way, but have not tested the DC10Plus.

I use the DC10+ on Windows XP and have had great results. I capture in the Studio Software. Then I use the third party PicVideo MJPEG codec ($18) for reading/writing video when in other applications. I found the Pinnacle MJPEG codec left really odd motion trials and other artifacts if used to decompress the video. May have just been for me. I have never had to go back to VHS as I always create a CVD (352x480 MPEG2) from my videos and then play them on my DVD player if I need to record them to VHS. I think the XP drivers will only output video if you play the video in their software, but I haven't confirmed this.

I am using Studio 8 for the capture, and have ordered Vegas 4 and am anxiously awaiting it, any ideas when 3rd parties will start shipping? Enjoyed the Vegas 3 LE I had before (and still have).

deef,
Please tell me how you did this. Are you on XP? The WDM drivers may allow you to do this.
On my Win 98SE system, I get a "Recompression not Available" note and no output, I assume because of the VFW MCI drivers. Selecting the MJPEG compressor doesn't help. I had given up, but if it can be done, I'll keep playing with it.
Thanks,
Mark

I doubt he is in XP, I don't think they have released any drivers for the DC30 in XP, which is what he said he was using. So, they wouldn't be WDM drivers either, just the VFW.

This was under Win98SE, and since the file was encoded with the MJPEG codec that requires DC30 hardware for playback, it just worked and output to both the video display and DC30 video out.

I may try the hacked DC30 drivers with my DC10+ to see if it works, but a second round of attempts with the DC10+ drivers didn't work for me.

I use the DC 10+ to capture from analogue then render as uncompressed AVI and use this for editing in VV3.

If I need to output to VHS I Print to Tape (DV) then play this back an record onto VHS.

Works well for me.

I haven't got much analogue stuff left now so soon this will be redundant.
