  Quicktime capture

  Posted by Daniel Christie on November 27, 2007 at 3:22 am

  Hi,

  Does anyone know if it is possible in any application, preferably PP2, to capture Apple DV Quicktimes on the Windows platform? I have a lot of tapes to capture and they are required as QT for FCP. Transcoding from AVI is slow and does not include original timecode (I’ve been using AE to manage the batch processing). Preferably a solution that does not involve purchasing a whole new NLE, but if it comes to that can Avid Liquid capture in QT or is the Windows version entirely AVI based?

  Thanks,

  Daniel

  Pretty sure the Windows Media capture is locked to AVi. PPro is.
  FCP can read the avi DV format it has a whinge, but it can use it.

  Jon is correct. It is the operating system that supports capture and device control, not the NLE. Microsoft supports DirectShow and Apple does QT. Never the 2 shall agree.

  Probably unique exception: with AJA hardware, you can use QTime for capture, but only to the AJA codecs.

  Well, It seems pretty definite that Quicktime capture is not possible in windows, but Focus Enhancements, the company that manufactures FireStore has an application for lossless conversion between DV codecs and formats. Many times faster than encoding a DV file from Quicktime or any NLE too.

  Thanks for the replies,

  Daniel
