I just ran into a problem playing an AVI this very day. Sound played, but picture was black. I installed Perian 1.1.3 (a free download), and it plays properly now. Haven’t tried exporting, though. Something to try.

Thanks Chris for the offer. I would want it to work for dubs as well as working directly with DVDSPro via firewire. I emailed the author of the review from the Ken Stone site, and he said he never got it to work in OSX. Apparently, according to his article, Panny was surprised it worked in OS 9.2.2, but it did. So I’m still doing research.

Hi bogiesan —
Of course skipping the menu and just doing First Play would save me a couple of minutes. I’ve done it before in other instances. It’s not the menu creation that takes so long; it’s the compressing and burning that takes up, well, a couple of hours for a full hour of footage. Add that to an hour capture, and it’s not an efficient use of time. I’ll look into the LiteOns. What model of the panasonic is your shop running?

I saw a review for the Panasonic DMR-T3040 DVD Video Recorder on Ken Stone

I wouldn’t be able to watch/listen to the footage on the monitor, but I could still see it in the capture window, so I think I could do that.
What model/brand of DVD external burner do you use? Are you happy with it? Would you replace it with the same thing today?

No one else needs the actual DV files. They’re just keeping tabs on content, what folks are saying, so mpeg2 is what they need. Precise timecode probably isn’t necessary either. It just needs to be close enough that I can fairly easily find a story or anecdote someone is telling.
So are you thinking just, deck to computer via FW for capture; simultaneously, analog out from deck (which now goes to the monitor on the deck), to an analog in of a DVD burner?
Is there such a thing as a firewire splitter so one split goes to FCP and the other goes to the DVD burner out from the FW deck?

Hi macfreek —
I am shooting anamorphic DV with the HVX. It’s the Squeeze mode on the tape side. I like 480i/30p. I think it looks very good. I’ve chosen this format for various reasons of budget, workflow and archive/deliverables, and to be frank, people of a certain age are not necessarily complimented by the higher resolution of HD. Too much information. I’m doing a bunch of interviews with regular folks for a museum exhibit.
