save as with trimmed media….

you could try recap with hd split. maybe quicker than checking each clip?

afaik – there’s no ‘usuable’ tc with hdv. it’s a real bugger since i do a lot of editing from edl’s. at the moment most of my clients are still sd – but when they do go hd, it means having to rethink the whole process, or hopefully, someone comes up with a hd scenalyser or the like.

for my own ‘archiving’ i’m back to hand written log sheets.

ps. there’s a comprehensive post about this over on the sony forum….

[Leslie Wand]

sorted?

i was wondering since i haven’t seen any other posts with problems of ptp with 7e. in fact, the release actually fixed a couple of (for me) serious bugs in 7d – notably not finding initial tc on batch capture.

was your original instal on visa?

without wanting to belittle your problems:

a. i have not read of extensive problems with 7e (which i am using without problems). true there are a number of people experiencing various problems, but they seem, in general, to revolve around the use of overtly large stills, or the use of ‘none standard’ file formats.

b. i hadn’t realised that 7e was vista approved yet.

hope you find a solution,

how old are they now – i found kids were great once they left home (5 of ’em – i want some support in my old age – safer than superannuation).

actually i quite like vidcap – don’t forget i do a lot of edl work and being able to punch in a list and batch capture is great.

it’s raining today, first in months… just enjoying something other than the sun is a pleasure in itself.. hope it keeps up.

hi mike, fancy meeting you here ;-} hope all is well….

not exactly naysayer – rather it would have been nice to have a simple ‘underline’ button on the media generator tool bar. and yes, i realise the problem that would cause in having the line too thin with a ‘thin’ font.

hey, don’t we all want a simple life?

look after yourself,

pity really, it’s the only weak spot in vegas – well, there are others, but not as significant when compared to the competition….

[Leslie Wand]

you’re right!?

then again, it is a piss-poor titler in the first place. i usually create in ps or hero or bluff, so i hadn’t noticed before….

The most common format is stereo 48 kHz sampling. In this mode two channels of 16-bit samples are recorded at a frequency of 48 kHz. These are the same specifications used by DAT audio recorders and provide a theoretical audio frequency range of 0 Hz to 24 kHz — well beyond the range of normal human hearing (20 Hz to 20 kHz).

DV also has a 44.1 kHz 16-bit stereo recording mode. That mode is the same as that which is employed on audio CDs and has an audio frequency range of 0 Hz to 22 kHz. This mode is often labeled “44 kHz”.

Finally the DV format supports a mode with four channels of 32 kHz 12-bit audio.

The table below lists the various DV audio modes.

sampling frequency sample size number of channels equivalent quality
48 kHz 16-bit (linear) 2 DAT audio 0 Hz – 24 kHz
44.1 kHz 16-bit (linear) 2 CD audio 0 Hz – 22.05 kHz
32 kHz 12-bit (non-linear) 4 MiniDisk 0 Hz – 16 kHz

The original multimedia system that supported Microsoft’s Video for Windows system only had support for 11 kHz, 22 kHz and 44.1 kHz audio sampling frequencies. These frequencies corresponded to the audio modes supported by typical sound cards in PCs. Subsequently Microsoft introduced the Audio Compression Manager which included a Sound Mapper to resample on the fly from any given audio sampling frequency to one which is supported by the available sound card. Thus all modern Windows PCs can playback stereo audio recorded in any of the DV audio modes even if the computer’s audio hardware doesn’t directly support the mode. But many Windows applications that use only the original Video for Windows programming interfaces still only support creating AVI clips using the 44.1 kHz DV audio mode.

Ideally you don’t want to have to resample your DV audio, but if you should have to, for example, if different DV clips are recorded using different modes or you must use an application that only supports 44 kHz, you want that resampling to be high-quality. High-quality resampling audio from one sampling frequency to another requires good software. Without it harmonic distortion is introduced into to the audio signal which usually manifests itself as objectionable high-frequency ringing.
