Yes, I’m using Pro 9. I’ll give this a try and let you know.
Thanks,

Great info Dave. We’ll look in to it.
Thanks,

Interesting Kevin. Maybe we’re confused with formats. I do know that I can bring this MPEG-2 file directly in to Sony Vegas and edit it.
Why not FCP?

Jeremy,
When we capture using our capture card, no problem. We’re using the KONA LS card. We do have the drop frame warning turned on. We’ve never gotten a warning even when the clip has jumps in it.
So, I’ve been talking with one of our editors and he gave me the capture config that he’s been using to capture firewire direct. Can you or someone verify that this is correct for capturing firewire directly on to an internal hard drive.
Here are our settings:
Capture Preset- Frame size 720X480
Aspect- NTSC 3;2
Quick time setting- DV Video
Input DV-VCR
Compressor- DV/DVC-PRO- NTSC
Quality 100%
Frame rate- 29.97Thanks for any advice.

Because it’s analog component. We’d rather capture in firewire if possible.

Our current capture card is analog component only. We didn’t think we needed to have firewire on the card because we could capture directly using Apple’s firewire ports.

Hi,
What we’re doing is using firewire to encode directly into an internal second drive on the Apple. We’ve tried using different firewire cables, different decks. We’ve tried encoding to different internal drives. We’ve even reinstalled the software. No help with anything. This has been a very strange and aggravating problem.
One thought we have is to upgrade our capture card to handle firewire. That would bypass the firewire ports on the apple.

Good to know. I think I’m going to be sticking with .WMV format because of other equipment issues.
Thanks for the input.

Thanks.
I’ll give it a try.

The reason I’m stuck with .WMV is because I’m editing pieces for video on demand for our web site. We have an encoder that encodes programming real time and turns it in to .WMV files automatically. I need to sometimes take these files and edit them or combine multiple files into one .WMV file and then upload it to our streaming server. They’re usually long meetings so the files can be as long as 5 hours of content.
I want to use a product like Vegas if it can do this?
Thanks for any ideas.
