capturing a complete vhs tape
Hello all,
I am currently vhs tapes onto vegas5 using a canopus advc300.I want to be able to capture the entire tape unattended and then cut the gaps in the footage.At the moment vegas stops capturing every time the tape reaches a blank spot.What do I need to tweak?
thanks in advance,

Maybe you still have Scene Detection (in Cature preferences) enabled, in which case turn it off, although I thought this only worked with DV tapes.
Device control should also be switched off, but I assume this is so already if you’re using the Canopus converter.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your reply.Scene detection is off but device control is on because vegas will not capture from the canopus when device control is off.

What about the “Stop capture on dropped frames” setting?

HI Edward,
Stop capture on dropped frames is not ticked so it can’t be that either.

Martin – I assume the Canopus has a firewire thru channel which uses device control when a DV device is connected, but as this wouldn’t be needed for VHS capture, have you tried turning it off?
I know when I use my Mini DV deck as pass through, it will even record fuzzy loss of signal as video if there is a break on the VHS tape.
