[Jack Gill] “No menus; just a single movie. What would you suggest?”

In Vegas Pro use :

Tools –> Burn Disc –> DVD…

Thats it!

[Francois Blawat] “Thank you John Rofrano for referring to that Article about using Legacy Drivers under Windows 7”

Great! I’m glad that helped. I have a bunch of tapes that I have to sit down and capture so I’m about to go through the same thing with my ADVC300.

[Jack Gill] “When I get to the vidcap screen it references Manycam, which I have on my computer. “

I’m guessing that this is your problem right there.

Open the Video menu from the top menu bar and select your Canopus ADVC100. That should make it talk to the Canopus device instead of Manycam and allow you to capture your tapes.

[Brayl Majam] “UPDATE: I just solved it myself.. If anyone else has this problem then I suggest that you go to Preferences>Video>Turn off GPU acceleration of video processing.”

I just want to thank you for getting back to the community with the solution. Too often people come here and post a question, figure it out for themselves, and never return. It’s thoughtful members like you that make the COW a great community to be part of. This will definitely help someone in the future.

Yea, GPU support is unfortunately at the root of far too many preview problems. The rule of thumb is… if something looks wacky… turn of the GPU and see if it fixes it.

Did you try Match Output Aspect?

Can you share a screen shot of your Pan/Crop window so that we can see what’s going on?

[Jack Gill] “I noticed that I see AV/C Tape Recorder/Player only when my Canopus is turned on.”

Great! Yes, the device is a “real” device so if it’s turned off Windows won’t see it. That’s great news, that means that Windows 7 can see your ADVC100.

Next, with the ADVC100 turned on, in Vegas Pro 12 when you go to File | Capture Video… to capture your tapes, do you see this dialog box pop up and do your select DV? (you should)

That should bring up the VidCap program that captures from DV tape.

And you should see the window above. Do you get that?

[Jack Gill] “Perhaps I don’t understand how to make the connection to Vegas 12”

Well the first thing you need to do is make sure that Windows 7 can connect to your device. I have the Canopus ADVC300 but the ADVC100 should look very similar.

In your Windows 7 Device Manager, under Imaging devices do you have a device called AV/C Tape Recorder/Player?

If you don’t see this device, then Windows 7 can’t see your Canopus ADVC100 and Vegas Pro will never see it. So let’s start there.

[greg janza] “One warning though, editing with H264 files will cause your system performance to go down dramatically. Play back of H264 requires a lot of CPU processing so whenever possible, transcode H264 files to something much more edit friendly like pro res or DNxHD”

Yea, I agree. I mean that fact that you can edit 4K ProRes on a 7 year old iMac is nothing short of outstanding. To expect to edit it 4K natively is asking a bit much. You really need to buy both a new camera, and new computer, to work in 4K (unless you already have a modern computer).

[Patrick Cooper] “Very strange. Any idea what’s going on?”

Sounds like the aspect ratio of the clip is different from the project. I would remove all Pan/Crop changes. Then right-click on the Frame in Pan/Crop and select Match Output Aspect. Then try and make the rotate and zoom changes again. That might clear it up.
