Hard Time Capturing Video, static sound & pixilation in clips?
Hi,
I have a Dell P3 using Vegas 6(b)(build 115), a sennheiser G2 wireless mic and a Canon GL2 that I had for roughly 2 years. First, when I was filming a wedding shower, I remember getting a static sound at different times when recording. When I tried to bring the footage into Vegas 6, I had a very hard time capturing the video that was on two separate tapes. Second, I noticed while capturing the video, it would only capture in segments, some longer and others shorter instead of capturing the whole 60 minutes at one time. Then capturing would stop. So, I would grab that piece and apply it to the timeline and saved it to file. I would do this continuously through the 60 min. Do you know how long this took? I was almost sleeping at my computer. Third, I would get a sharp static noise with some pixilation at that point in the clip. This is the 1st time I have experienced this since I only videotape as a hobby, not professionally. Then a dialog box would pop up stating that there has been some dropped frames, but on the drop frame counter the number was 0. Since I recorded this footage, I had sent my GL2 out to Canon for a good cleaning and check up. Canon hasn’t memtion to me able any problems that they found. I thiught that my CCD chip’s are going bad.
Does anyone out there know what’s causing the sudden static sound & pixilation at times in the clips and why Vegas 6 isn’t caturing the whole 60 minutes continuously? WOW!!!!!!! Problems! Problems!Ralph Hajik 🙁 Boooooooooo!

Firstly, to capture as a single clip you need to disable Scene Detection in Capture preferences.
Dropped frame symptoms are usually related to system specs, hard drive space or speed or something else running at the same time. Were there any gaps in the recorded footage? That may lead to short bursts of static etc, but this should not continue once you’re recording.
I would try a recapture as single file and see if the same thing occurs.

Hi Peter,
I was capturing to an Maxtor external harddrive with plenty of space. There were no gaps in the recorded footage. I have just now disabled Scene detection.
Thanks for your advice.Ralph Hajik
