Firewire questions

[Larry Gibson]

I read the date of the original post wrong – I thought it was June – guess I’m only a week late. Actually, the print to tape should be as good or better than a DVD since it would not be recompressed, but stay in the DV format.

Good luck. I’m in the middle of my first big HDV project for a client. I’ve done several short projects using Vegas, but this will be longer and involve DVD, BluRay and a high definition file for YouTube or other files.

Even though I have now captured several videos & saved them as individual clips with thumbnails I haven’t quite mastered the settings. I created a new folder for each tape with intention of putting each capture into it. I point the capture settings to this location.

I tell the program to rewind the tape & start capture at beginning. I can see where I am on the tape. The rewind stops & video appears & plays in preview window. When tape has finished playing I have captured nothing.

Any ideas as to what I missed? Should I see the thumbnails being generated as the tape plays?

Thanks in advance
