HDV capture in PP 1.5.1 – increasing sound mismatch the longer I capture
Hi,
I have a very bad problem with captured HDV material over PP’s HDV plug-in. I have just captured about 17 full HDV tapes (via HVR-Z1E) and everything seemed perfect at first. But when I started editing I noticed that sound and video sometimes mismatched. So I checked every captured file and it was true: the further I slide to the end in the timeline, the greater the mismatch between video and audio got. At 1 hour of the footage file there was a mismatch of about 3 – 4 seconds!!
Please help! Has anyone made similar experiences?PC:

This is a common problem. It is suggested that you either use Scene Detect to keep the captured clips short, or you manually capture in shorter portions. A few minutes at a time.

Thanks for your reply!
So when I understand you correctly, everybody has this problem with HDV an PP and there is no solution? I mean an other solution than capturing short parts? I have about 13 hours of material containing some long interviews that dont’t need to be cut. How do the other editing programs handle HDV? Is there a better software for HDV-editing without this sound/video mismatch?

You might want to ask that question on the HDV forum.

Steven,
How common is the problem? I’ve just captured four HDV tapes (all interviews) around forty minutes each and no loss of sync. Half way through an edit I found two short interviews out of sixty odd (less than a minute each) that were out of sync in the project box (in other words, when previewed). Any ideas on what causes this problem?Redgum Television Productions

Tim Kolb answered it better than I ever could over in the HDV forum.
