Video Capture Problem

Susan wrote on 1/11/2005, 6:57 PM

Hi,

I've captured dozens of hours of video using a Sony VX-1000 and firewire. There is this one tape, however, that shows up black and with no audio. The tape plays back fine in the VX-1000 viewfinder. I can control the camera with the buttons in Capture Video mode, so I know the firewire is working correctly. Plus, I just captured a different tape. Just can't do this tape. It was recorded elsewhere and given to me. Does anyone have a clue what to do next?

Thanks,

Susan

Hi! - I don't know what the "quality" hit will be, guess others will chime in on this, but, can you output as an Analogue signal and, using a AV<>DV convertor bring this into Vegas? You will need to set up VidCap with "Enable DV device control" deselected - but if you can "view" the footage - can you do this on a TV? - then bringing into Vegas as a converted AV<>DV signal could save the day. Can you try another cammie? Another deck? - Nah, can't be that, 'cos you can view it .. wierd! Anyway is this any good?

Grazie

.. another thought is could you "copy" tape to your cammie from another cammie? See if that works . . hmmmm .. . G

I've heard some of Video Capture Problems from Chinese forum.

One way to resolve it is un-install SONY Vegas 5d and re-install SONY Vegas 5b
