HDV split vs adobe premier
which software is better for capturing my HDV footage? i usually capture in premiere but i recently read about HDV split and there are quite a few people that speak highly of it and find it better than premiere. so is that true? also i did download and test hdv split and the captured footage is saved as AVCHD (m2t mpeg) is this normal or am i doing something diffrent?

HDV split has preview during capture and saves as m2t as Premiere has no preview and saves as .mpeg.
Its not avchd it’s hdv. Windows explorer reads it as such. -
oke thank you so its windows explorer that reads it like that. thank goodness. now i still would like to know which you feel is better for the best quality footage capture. most find that hdv split is better because it captures with less or no artifacts is that true?

The main differences between using HDV split vs premiere pro to ingest HDV material is that currently premiere pro doesn’t show the signal in the capture window like DV. CS5 started to scene detect HDV like HDV split always has.
As for quality the HDV signal is exactly what is on tape. So there is no gain or loss of quality with either ingest.
Either method is fine. Personally since CS5 scene detect with HDV capture I don’t use HDV split anymore.

We have been using Premiere Pro to capture HDV/mpeg-2 from a Canon HV20 for five years with excellent results. An m2t file is generated when you Export to Tape and this file is easily open in Premiere Elements 4 to burn to blu-ray as our old PP 1.5.1 cannot do that.
Good luck
