Hi Jeff,

I am playing the captured file by using an HDMI cable. What app? I think it windows media player.

I haven’t been able to render a blu ray video from the sample yet. I did suspect that the blu-ray option could be the solution, but I wasn’t sure.

If the capture process does truly capture “real” video from tape, then, I will not worry at this point. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t losing any quality in the process. I will save the rendering to blu-ray for future time.

Thank you!

Hi Jeff,

I am very new to video transfer/editing so I need some help with transfer of over 100 mini-dv tapes.

You mention that the captured video from HDV is the same as what is on the tape. I did a few captures from my Canon HV30 and it does appear a little different than when I watch directly from camcorder to TV vs. hard drive to TV. Is there an explanation for this? Is there a processing slow down on the pc that might affect this? The video doesn’t appear as crisp, and when there is movement it does appear more blurred, and maybe a little pixilated.

Thanks,
Dave
