What is known is the number of frames in a captured clip.Ī 20 minute clip at 29.97 frames per second would be ABOUT 35964 frames.Īudio isn't captured in frames. In a perfect world, they would MATCH, but in reality when capturing, there's no rule or law that would force them to.Ī capture device is agnostic to timecode generally, it just captures and writes to your HD as it gets the data but the streams are rarely in sync (unless you're capturing from a DV camera via firewire). Unless the video is slaved to timecode and the audio is slaved to (the same) timecode, you will likely run into syncing issues. You have to choose whether or not to stretch audio to match the number of frames captured (or change the sample rate)Ĭhange the framerate of video to match the audio. Video captured over time in the form of frames are not necessarily "in time." It's not a hack, it's the reality of capturing video (hi-8, vhs, etc.) unless you are direct capturing DV (Firewire). Should I first capture to the C Drive SSD then copy/paste the video capture to the external drive?Finally - I've lost the burner software that came with the computer (due to reformatting HD & New OS) - what burner software do you guys recommend? And, should I edit from the capture file or the DVD (once burnt)?Īudio clock is fixed. I notice there are ZERO transitions (loaded the file into Movie Maker and it was one really big scene.ĭo I need to do these manually, or have I missed a setting (Do I need transitions at all?)? in fact, as the tape got long (its a full length tape) I noticed some 'pausing' or delay in what I saw on the window of the Sony cam compared to what I saw on the screen - this was intermittent and looked like buffering. Second - is my setup acceptable? - I have the VC500 in a USB 2.0 slot, and the capture location going to the external drive, and I hear it working. Should I have used 'DVD" or "AVI" instead? The first recording I did, I used MPEG 4 - which did not come out that great some artifacting and sound delay (although that might have been a Windows Player issue.). Thus, I need some advice.įirst off - what capture format should I be using? I have two desired end results: 1) transferring the tape to DVD so I can preserve it / watch it in the future, andĢ) editing parts of it (and several other tapes) to make a single DVD to share with the Marines I served with in Bosnia back in the '90s. To that end, I bought a Diamond VC500, watched some videos and suggestions, and tried what looked best - but my results are less than optimal. I've played around with Windows Movie Maker over the years - and finally have the confidence to try to preserve / edit some of my old Hi8 tapes.
