  Capture Problems Analog

  Posted by Donald Gibson on February 22, 2010 at 9:29 pm

  I can capture analog (Video 8 or Hi 8) very well. The problem is there is no scene detection, In what I have captured.

  I am using a Sony Handycam Vision CCD-TRV65 NTSC. I have changed the battery (little round one) to make sure all systems are working. I am exporting with S-Video and RCA sound cables.

  I am using a S-Video cable with RCA sound cable into the converter. I have gone so far as to buy a Canopus ADVC 110 Converter. Out of the Converter I am using a FireWare Cable 6 pin-6 pin. It came with the converter. That did not help, still no scene detection.

  I can capture from my Sony camera to Vegas 8 with no problem, there is just no scene detection.

  In Sony Vegas 8.
  Here is what I have got. I go to options/preferences/Capture, my setting is a follows
  Enable DV scene detection…..checked.
  Stop capture on drooped frames….not checked.
  All the capture preferences for there until the end are checked.
  The custom frame rate is 29970(NTSC)
  Master stream is none.

  The crazy thing about this is that I can capture Mini DV just fine. There are scene detection no drop frames, all is just perfect .

  I have recorded video 8 tapes to Mini DV tapes and tried to capture them to Vegas 8.
  It works just fine, just no scene detection. I would hate have to sit down have to split each frame in a two hour tape.

  I have no ideal what I am doing wrong. I have been fooling with this for most part of a month. It’s driving me up the wall. Your help would be much appreciated.

  Thanks
  Don

  Your analog video contains no timecode that can be recognized by Vegas for scene detection.

  But you can use a program like scenalyzer to generate scenes fron the large avi file you get after capturing.

  A free version of scenalyzer can be downloaded here:

  Theo,I have a tape captured with Vegas. Will Scenalyzer divide the scenes from this tape? Or will I have to capture the tape over again with Scenalyzer? So that the scenes are divided as it’s captures?

  Thanks again
  Don
