EXTREMELY long saves after capture

[Rededitor]

I had the same problem initially… I think you may be saving the file twice… check your Raid disk after you’ve done the save… is there a second file there (Untitled or such) of the same size? If there is, that’s why it’s taking so long, because you are actually re-saving as another file…. check your capture settings.

Hi,

I have the same probleme, the save are extremely long when I capture clips manually but don’t happen when I batch capture.

My other problem is I have a lots of duplicated files but the weird thing is they have the same name but not the contents, here is an example;

I capture a clip named test.avi/test.wav and when I look in mydrive I also see an clip named test 01.avi/test 01.wav but it doesn’t have the same size and either the same content.

I’ve checked my capture setting and doesn’t find anything related to re-saving file after capturing.

Need help or advice because i’m wasting a lots of space and energy trying to manage my files…THANKS.

[PaRaDiSiaK] “capture a clip named test.avi/test.wav and when I look in mydrive I also see an clip named test 01.avi/test 01.wav but it doesn’t have the same size and either the same content.”

This sounds like scene detection behavior…

Perhaps there was a camera stop/start in the section of tape you captured and the program broke it there and created two clips?

Thanks Tim for your quick response, but I already check for the scene detection feature and that not the probleme.

The thing that I found is that I must named my clip before I start the capture process, this way when I stop capturing it save the clip right away and don’t duplicate the name, but if I rename the file… the duplication start again. By the way the duplicated file is made of a file already captured… that’s weird and annoying. I’ll keep troobleshooting this issue and keep you informed.

If anyone have a solution for this, don’t hesitated… you’ll make my day.

Thanks to all.

I’ve had the exact same results that you have. I get a duplicate file if I rename it at the “Save File as” window. AJA theorizes that the first file is the raw capture (video only) and a seperate audio file. (Example: unknown 1.avi and unknown 1.wav). The second file that is created is the video with the audio interleaved and the new name (thus making only one file. Example: JonesInterview.avi). Then the original files SHOULD BE deleted. I haven’t tried it yet. If you do capture again, let us know if this is the case.

Also, AJA suggests a 3 drive RAID minimum (SCSI). I have a 2 drive SATA RAID.

Thanks.

The solution is to name your clip before you start the capture process, this way you don’t wait for the EXTREMELY long saves and don’t get duplicated files. Let me know if this solve your issue.
