Correct settings for HDV capture
Hi. I’m using Premiere CS5.5. I went on a few forums to get the correct settings for HDV capture.
I can record the footage fine. However I saw a few things which didn’t seem right.
After capturing the HDV footage, the file was a .mpeg file. Secondly, the clip was 1 hour and 10 minutes and
it was only 11.3 GB. Does this sound right? A 55 minute .avi file is 11.6GB. I thought a HDV clip would be quite a large size file.
If this dosen’t sound right, is there somewhere I could go to, to check that my settings are correct? By the way I’m filming and capturing with a Canon XHA1.
The footage is 1080i. HDV. I’ve exported it and it looks fine. Just want to make sure I’ve captured it correctly and to the best quality.
Thanks for your help.

HDV is an extremely compressed format, and it gives files around 1GB per 5 minutes… so it seems that there’s nothing amiss with what you’re seeing.

Saad,
I know this will not help you with your question but you might be able to help me with mine. I have the same setup CS 5.5 and a Canon XHA1. During capture how do i get my footage to show up in the preview area in the capture window? It tells me to view from my camera viewer, what needs to be changed in my settings?

Hey Mark. Unfortunately you can’t. I’ve asked around enough to know. Good to know you figured out how to capture though!
