pixelized images/ dvc pro cassette in a dv camcorder
Hi there!
I have a stupid problem.
I have to capture images from a dvc pro cassette, that have been recorded in a DV camcorder.
Of course all images are pixelized (is that the exact word?) The sound is ok on one track.
Is there a way to capture it normally?
I’ve try to capture it in the dv cam but the camcorder don’t want to take the cassette. I ‘ve try to change the setting on the deck either on DV or DVC pro, the only way to capture is to put the setting on DV.I’m working with Sony Vegas, is ther something to do in changing the project property?
I read somewhere that capturing it in a variable speed deck could solve some pixelized problems… Is there hope in that case?
Thanks!

I’m a little confused as to why your camera won’t accept the tape. Is the copy protect slider tripped? The cameras I’ve used beeped at me if the tape was protected, but just a thought there.
As for your pixelation, I’m assuming this is around curved edges and such. Your dealing with non-square pixels and once you’re able to pull it into Vegas, from what I’ve heard, as long as you have you have your fields set up right, everything should look fine.
The default capture program, in my opinion (especially the pro version) should already be set up to capture DVCPRO. But, it’s not. Now, you are able to purchase MainConcepts DVCPRO 25/50 & 100 codecs, but they will NOT add functionablity to the capture program. It will however render out to a 4:2:2 color space. Ya! But that’s kind of a waste of money since you can’t get it BACK to the DECK!
And of course you don’t want to think about trying SDI cause that’s just too expensive. Even a Blackmagic Converter from analog to SDI is $500!
If you REALLY want to work in a 4:2:2 color space, you’ll have to switch over to FCP or go SDI. Unless, someone else knows more about this than I. Hopefully…
