VideoCapture 3.0 Xpress doesn't batch output

sqblz wrote on 2/26/2002, 3:12 AM

My registered copy of VV3 comes with VideoCapture Xpress 3.0 (VC3). I have no limitations on capture, but with exporting to tape I can not queue more than one file in the output area.
I have produce a 20GB avi split in 5 4-GB chunks. I expected to chain them in VC3 and output to tape in sequence.
Now, the only way that I have to output this, is using the Print to Tape feature of VV3, which is quite inconvenient if I want to use VC3 to output files not prepared with VV3.
How can I upgrade VC3 to the non-Xpress version, or otherwise get rid of this one-file limitation ?
Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

This is a problem I also had.
In fact, it's the full version but you have to start it from Vegas in the file menu. I guess this is to prevent people from copying the utility. So you'll be able to use batch capture if you start it from Vegas

Thanks for the hint, Nat. I am not at home to check it, but it makes sense if we remember that VV3 installation doesn't create an icon for Video Capture.
Anyway, please notice that I don't have any problem with batch capture. My problem is with batch output. I hope that you are right with batch output also.
Regards.

Nat:
It works ! If I access Vegas Capture from Vegas Video I don't have any limitations.
The funniest part of it is that when I start Capture stand-alone, I get Vegas Capture Xpress 3.0 . If I start Capture from VV3, I get Vegas Capture 3.0 (no more Xpress). And the limitations are gone.
Aren't they smart ???
Thanks again for the hint.
