  • capturing PAL mini dv in LP (32 K)

    Posted by Adam24 on July 3, 2007 at 2:05 pm

    I am trying to capture a mini DV onto Final Cut Pro but the DV is in PAL and LP (32 K) and it will not allow me to. Any suggestions on how to bypass this problem so that FCP will allow me to capture or even play it?

    Are you doing it through an AJA product? SDI or FW? Unless you go in component analog/analog sound, no AJA board or SDI deck will help you.

    Not even the DSR-2000 can play LP tapes, and I don’t think any of the popular smaller DV decks i.e. DSR-11-type decks can either, so you are relegated to loading from your camera, through FW. though this is not considered a good policy for the sake of wear and tear on the camera’s heads, you might be SOL.

    Should work, though if you will be working in a 48k environment, you will get a redline on your audio or perhaps some rendering, depending on your system. Picture should be normal, though you may encounter more errors than usual due to dense data packing on the tape.
