    HDV Capture

    Posted by Gurm Sohal on May 26, 2008 at 12:27 am

    I have a Sony V1U that I have captured 24p video with. What settings in vegas 8 would I use to capture this video?

    Thanks!

    You should set your project properties to HDV 1080-24p (1440×1080, 23.976 fps) and use the HDV Capture tool.

    The term “capture” is really a misnomer. It is not “capturing” anything. It is simply “copying” the file from your camera to your PC. What you recorded on your V1U will be what is in the file on your hard drive. What matters is that the project properties are set to 24p.

    Thanks for the info.

    I used the HDV capture tool in vegas and copied about 60 minutes of video to my hard drive – this only took about 12GB…does that sound right?

    Yes. HDV is surprisingly the same size as DV which is about 13GB per hour so 12GB sounds just about right.
