Claude: The DV transfer seems to be working poorly and I don’t care too too much about the quality of the videos (obviously would be ideal to capture them as high quality as possible) so I’m looking at the Elgato capture device. Thanks!

Aaron: There’s nothing wrong with the tape. Plays back fine in the camera. Something is happening to the data during the transfer via DV-FireWire. I can try using iMovie to see if it improves, and I was also already looking at that Elgato capture device, which I’ll probably buy if iMovie doesn’t work. Thanks!

Mark: The speed ramps up and down every second or two, and it’s not like if there was more than one speed I would have been wildly switching back and forth between them every couple seconds while filming, so I don’t see how this makes sense, sorry. Also if the speed kept changing, it wouldn’t be playing back fine in the camera, which it is.

Thanks for responding. I did capture choosing no control device, not using timecode. Any other ideas what it might be?
