I would surface check the disk with the OS and Apps, and do a comprehensive memory check, to eliminate any hardware problems, you didn’t mention if you did a total system reinstall? or what other stuff you are running on the computer

[jkb242] “using the fast color and/or contrast/brightness effects works on the entire frame, not the portion that needs correction.”
Try to see if using the level controls will affect the blownout areas, disregard the areas that have usuable data, the idea is to see if anything is there to salvage in the over exposed areas, save you time in the long run. usually blownout areas are just that, blownout, then just work with what you’ve got, or reshoot, its always best to compensate for hot areas when shooting as underexposed areas can be compensated for in post with a much better chance of recovery.

You should be able to record with soundbooth, the mic interface is a little iffy with a mixer as there would be a level and impedence problems, a inexpensive addition would be something like a Behringer USB interface(UCA202)(about$30) with which you can run the output of one of your mixers into the computer, if the main out of your mixers is XLR, the control room out is usually 1/4″ phone, You would just need some 1/4″ to RCA adapters and some RCA cables or if you have RCA tape outs on the mixers, just RCA cabling.

If you have 4:3 footage with a letterboxed video present, you simply open a 16:9 DV project, you import the footage, you put the footage on the timeline, you click on it to select it, Make sure you have FIT selected in the program monitor window, Open the Effects Control tab, under the Video Effects click on the little triangle to the left of Motion, you should see two Scales, the bottom one grayed out, click on the top one where it says 100, type 135 in the highlighted area hit enter, the the vdeo should expand to fill the program monitor, if there is some edging, uncheck the Uniform scale checkbox, and adjust the image where it needs, if off center adjust the settings under motion to position evenly.

A high end card is a waste of money unless you are going to use it for gaming or other high-end display purpose, a 8600 will suffice for most editing purposes, HDV is processor intensive so its best to use a intermediate codec of one flavor or another.

[vin2000] “is there anyway i can convert the entire footage, say export the entire clip as an avi and convert that to 16:9 or as an mpeg-2?”
16:9 is a screen aspect ratio, mpeg2 is a file format which can contain various flavors of video.
If you want to change 4:3 footage containing letterboxed video to 16:9 you can put it in a 16:9 project and scale the video to fit the frame, be aware it may look crappy as you probably increasing the size over 30% -

You don’t have the CD, so how are you installing it?

You could scrub through the timeline and see if you find something strange or you could burn to a DVD rw while reducing the video in size till it burns correctly, then you would have a approximation of where the problem is
