Get a analog to digital converter like a Canopus ADVC110 and play the DVD into it and capture the firewire output and then separate the video and audio, or you could play the sound into the line input of your sound card if it has one, or you could buy a little two channel USB mixer, seems if you were making corporate videos you should have some aux. equipment

[openfire777] “I keep getting this End of File DVDErr, -16072 and I have no idea what this is pertaining to,”
It usually means there is something wrong with the file you are trying to burn, it maybe corrupted somehow, try rebuilding the sequence and re-encoding.

[john_ogroat] “I can’t understand why there was any data above 100% in the first place on my RGB parade..”
Digital Video can have a range of 0 to 255(8 bits) if you notice your monitor is topped at 100 which equals 235 digital there still is 20 digital more range possible to the signal -
[rvs_edit_4] “What I’d like is software that will let me do proc-amp adjustment when I’m capturing analog footage.”
For what card or converter? You don’t shove analog into a computer, it needs a hardware interface to digitize it either a external converter box or analog input card any software that does what you want is proprietary to that device, that is where the adjustments you seek are made prior to conversion, any adjustment done post digitizing would be the same as working in a NLE.
Some external converters that digitize analog with control are made by GV/Canopus, the ADVC300 for instance and Some stuff from ADStech[rvs_edit_4] “I’ve used the Velocity NLE software, which had this feature built-in.”
Velocity uses various hardware interface cards like Leitch or Quattrus RT to accomplish what you want, nothing is strictly software. -
[Riceman] “I am still wondering if the HDMI out bypasses compression within the camera,”
I know the sony cams output HDMI before compression to tape, I would assume the panasonics are the same. -
[Riceman] “I am not clear if the Intensity card actually allows for live capture.”
Yes it does, if you had two card slots you could add a second card and use On Air to have live switching, but are you going to try to capture uncompressed or to the MotionJpeg codec? -
[whaaaaat] “But i’m guessing you’re saying that when i record footage it automatically stores in dv?”
You got it! The transfer to the computer is exactly whats on tape with just a ID/data wrapper added so the computer knows what it is, firewire is just a high-speed serial port. making the footage uncompressed increases the size of a DV file also, DV is compressed 5:1 with 4:1:1 quantization of color which is also a form of compression, take the time to do some research and find out what the size and data rate will be for a uncompressed video file, also making uncompressed doesn’t increase the original quality of whats on tape

A bit expensive for one slot.

Have you gone to the audio hardware settings in preferences and made sure you USB mic shows up in input devices and is selected?
