November 28, 2008 at 11:57 pm in reply to: How would i use a shotgun mic with my consumer level camcorder?im not sure which inputs are audio, im pretty sure that i dont have any. but to be sure i will list all of the inputs.
AC input (for direct power, if there is no battery).
DV (4 pin firewire, to use w/ the computer)
Camera- comuter (usb)
then in a hidden compartment i have a A/V input which i think is for connecting to a television.
none of these are audio as far as i know. This is fine with me as long as there is an alternative to directly attaching it to the camera, such as recording the audio separately.

god, im really sorry to have used your time, but i figured it out. Thanks anyway.

i just captured some other clips i had on some tapes, and they are all correct, but now, although the problem seems resolved, i still cant find out why it happened in the first place. (my initial film is still messed up, but oh well, i dont have the initial vegas project to change it back).
-
ok i looked on help, and it said that i should render to mpeg2 for dvd architect, which helped with the video for some reason (only slightly) but its missing audio. Whats the best way to render for dvd architect?
-
i guess, what im basically asking is: what could make a video appear like it was filmed non- widescreen, and was put onto a widescreen rendering, when it was infact filmed widescreen? Are there any settings that could conflict with each other to cause this problem?
-
i couldnt find “scale video to fit preview window” but i have “simulate device aspect ratio. the info on the bottom right says: project: 720x 480; 29.970. Preview: 180×120; 29.970. Display: 218x120x32. Is that all good? and does this have any relation to how it comes out once rendered? So the rendered project could be messed up but the burned project can still come out right?
-
oh, and whats the difference between best auto and best full on the preview screen?
-
yeah i know, i do all that, but it still gets messed up. And now that i look more closely, even though the preview thing is less squashed, it still looks somewhat squashed. Almost like a television picture when they film non widescreen, and adapt to widescreen, but i checked, and double checked, and i can be positive that i filmed on 16:9.
-
Yeah, what you said, i checked, and its all correct. I had to change one of the properties settings because i guess i had accidentally changed it previously. This made the little preview screen have the correct format, but when i render, the same thing happens. Is there a seperate properties tab for rendering?
