    Why is Timecode not capturing?
    by Peter Corbett on Jan 13, 2009 at 3:58:48 am

    I just put the new x64 drivers on tapes are still not being captured with field-recorded timecode by RS422 SDI. Captured clips all start with 0:00:00:00. What’s the go here? I thought this would have been fixed by now. I’m just about to digitise 100 Digibeta tapes for a Fox so this is a real issue.

    i have the same problem with a DVW-Digibeta under xp32bit. PLEASE FIX THAT BUG!
    i am working since months with avid-mediacomposer and mojo because
    it is not possible with the decklink card.

    THIS IS SO BORING BLACKMAGICSUPPORT! 🙁

    btw. sorry for my lousy english..

    for all the people who have the same problem, here the answer from the BMD-Support:

    Thanks for the information. Interestingly enough, another tech was perusing
    through this email and mentioned that this is a bug that has been logged.

    It appears to have been resolved in CS4, but still resides in CS3. So the
    good news that is that this is a known issue, logged as a bug and has been
    resolved in CS4. The bad (or not so great news) is that since we have moved
    support from CS3 to CS4, first priority is now on CS4. Hence, there is no
    accurate time frame of if/when this bug will be resolved.

    a major bug which is not fixed since 8 Months! and that is the answer. unbelievable!
