Yeah, it’s on Sony. I’m not too familiar with this deck either. I’ll try and figure it out some more. Thanks for your help so far. This is really killing me.

Damn. Nothing. Still didn’t work. I’m posting on the HD High-End forum, too. So far, no other ideas.

I have the “Ref in” to the card plugged in to the “SYNC” port on the back of the deck. I don’t have any external sync though.

Good idea, but same damn problem. It just won’t do it. I have it set so that, on hitting a timecode break, it will make a new clip, but for whatever reason, when it looks for the timecode break, it can’t find it. It just looks and looks and looks and then gives up. By all indications, it’s not breaking timecode. Play it frame by frame and you don’t see it. But when you just hit play, the little LTC light flickers.

The deck is the J-H3. With the Kona Easy Setup for 1080i 29.97 DVCPro HD, but I altered it to capture using the DV/DVCPRO-NTSC compressor. I’ve done this sort of thing plenty of times, but never with master raw footage and more often with D5 than HDCam. I’m thinking that the timecode on the tapes is useless and I’m going to have to have them all converted to tapes with a solid TC source. I just don’t want to do that and then have the same problem. But if this is a common thing, that may be what I have to do.

Same problem. It starts to digitize, but it’s still reading the timecode and hitting the “breaks” (breaks that I can’t see). Has anyone else run into this problem? I think it has to do with when you record in free run TC on the cameras. It’s all part of Sony’s strategy to drive me insane, I’m starting to believe.

Awesome, thanks. That should be the best way of going about it. Now I have to finalize about 80 of these DVDs!

Awesome. Thanks so much.

Shane,
Your piece did the trick. I was working off of 5.0.3 and had to update it to 5.0.4. No problems after that. Thanks a ton.Michaelblack
