Hi,
I was thinking that but am not sure if some of the metadata like Tape Number gets stored in the DV file or not. I should just experiment and figure it out but thought I’d ask anyway – if you capture with Scene Analyzer will the tape number be recorded in the DV-AVI’s header? This is an issue for me because I have 70+ tapes but they aren’t numbered in the order they were shot [*sigh* – don’t ask]. I want to be sure if Sony Vegas ever has to recapture any footage that I import as AVIs it knows the tape to ask for. Also, is there any possibility the time codes could somehow be recorded differently between scene analyzer and the vid-cap utility? I know technically that is impossible but just wanted to ask.
btw – whether you capture from sceneanalyzer or not you can also use the DVDate utility to do the rename. It allows for more flexiblity in renaming the sceneanalyzer.
