Capturing with Sony Vegas 8

[cotis]

hey all

trying to transfer my SSSC video from last saturday in Sony Vegas 8.0, HDV settings, etc.

I go to capture just like normal and start capturing. I expected a full 10+GB clip with the video on it but instead I got two clips (one at 2.5GB and one at 4.1GB, approx). There were no dropped frames, according to Vegas and I'm just wondering is there some option that I have to select so that it captures in one whole stream?

Thanks for you help!

I had a similar issue. In Vegas 7, when the screensaver goes up, it stops capturing. Set my screensaver to 60 minutes and it was fine. Try that

Are there any cuts in the video? Not sure about Vegas, but when I use WinDV for my SD videos, if there is a cut from a tape change, band change, etc., it will start a new clip. So if I had 60 minutes on the tape, each band playing 30 mins, I would have 2 30 minute clips instead of 1 large continuous file. Maybe that's it

I don't have screensavers set on here, so that isn't it I don't think. No cuts in the video, ran it wide open. Only stopped after they played...

It is also seamless on the LCD screen on the camera at the point that it split so, it isn't a case of dropped frames!

I think I figured it out, captured NIN and SSSC without problem.

JA was on a JVC tape not Sony and thre have been numerous cuts in it...must be dropped frames and such as it jumps on my LCD screen on the camcorder as well.

Atleast I know what tapes to and not to use from now on!

Love the Sony HDM-63VG's!!

i sometimes get dropped frames when letting the display open while transferring the tape to my pc...if i close it, no problems at all!
