I want to capture from mini DV tape, but my current software (not Corel!) requires me to use Firewire. However. my computer only has USB ports. Will Video Studio capture using USB (or do I need to buy a new computer?) My camera has both USB and Firewire outlets.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some mini dv tapes that seem to have been shot in: 4:3 720x480,DVD, Variable BitRate
I am currently in the capture video section of VideoStudio and wanted to know what is the highest quality capture format for these tapes.
From the video studio drop down it says that i can capture in the following:
DVD
DV
Mpeg
VCD
SVCD
Also under options> Video options
It has a bunch of Video profiles, should i change any of those?
My final output will be onto Standard DVDs
So my questions are:
1- What is the best above format to capture in?
2- Should i change the video options profile?
3- Ideally I would love to have the video shown/edited in 16:9 is that possible considering it was shot inf 4:3? If 16:9 is possible should i capture it differently to achieve 16:9?
I just installed X4 and hooked up two mini-DV sources to capture from mini-DV tapes. When I start the program, click the Capture tab, and click on the Options up-arrow, the options panel slides up, but it is completely blank. No place to select a source and start capturing from the devices. The devices are a Sony GV-D1000 DVR and a Canon GL2 camcorder, both connected by USB to my WinXP PC. The right drivers are installed, and the devices are recognized by Windows (Camcorder appears as a drive in Windows Explorer, etc.)
I'm at a loss. I have X3 at home and I sort of remember what that Options panel is supposed to look like, but I've never seen it totally blank. I'm traveling right now, and I need to dump these tapes to my HD.
I recently started using OSX. Using CS6 Premier Pro on OSX Mavericks.I'm capturing DV tape from a Canon GL2.Both "Scene Detect" and "Tape" options selected.
Two problems:
1. Capture drops out at the first frame of video. I press record a second time and it proceeds to capture the rest of the tape. It almost looks like Premier is trying to determine the aspect ration of the material as the preview window appears to switch between 4:3 and 16:9.
2. Scene Detect is off by a frame or two (not sure exactly how many). So basically the end of the shot has a frame or two of the next shot.
AJA's web site claims Premiere Pro CC is compatible with the Kona LHi card, but I can't get the two to work together properly. After repeated tries, I uninstalled and reinstalled everything AJA, but still no luck.
I need to batch capture DV clips from some mini-DV tapes on my Sony MVR035U tape deck. But I also need to upconvert them from 480i to 720p60 using my Kona Lhi card. I should be able to do this with Premiere Pro CC. But the PPCC Capture window won't give me any audio feedback when I select "AJA Movie Capture" in the Capture Settings pull down menu. I only get audio feedback when I enable "DV capture" but then I'm no longer able to upconvert.
how to make a scotch tape effect, but what i'm looking for is creating duct tape (usually "silver" or brown) and/or masking tape (usually white or off-white). what do you suggest (ie what textures to use, any other layer styles, etc)?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAm converting a VHS tape to DVD. So captured successfully (albeit with an EzCap device). Produced a fairly good quality AVI file and with no editing at all, used VS x2 to produce my mpeg compatible file.
Details of that file are here:
File Format: PAL DVD

Duration: 6056.920 Secs
Video Type: MPEG 2 Video, Lower Field First
Totoal Frames: 151,173 frames

Audio Type: Dolby Digital Audio
Total Samples 290.252,160 Samples
Attributes: 48000 Hz, 5.1 Channels

Bit Rate 384 kbps
Started a new project, imported the mpeg into the timeline and proceeded to produce my DVD folders. The only custom setting was to reduce the bitrate to 5,000 to get the whole file onto one DVD.
So far so good. Problem is slight out of sync audio towards the middle to end of the DVD. It gets progressively worse as if the audio is at a slightly different frame rate to the video! I have double checked my settings when burning the DVD folders and they are the same as the mpeg except for the bitrate and I have chosen LPCM Audio 48000 Stereo. I tried first with Dolby but that gave the OOS so thought I would try this new setting but the result was the same.
-I just installed the VideoStudio v10 software and it captures video fine, however I have an issue with the audio. The audio is present but for some reason there is a noticeable static on the video file. Im using a 2000 Sharp ViewCam VL-A10 monaural/analog 8mm camcorder to transfer video to my computer. Im confused because there is NO static on the original 8mm tape, when I play video on the camera, the sound is fine as well as when I plug it in to my TV set for playback. I dont understand where the static is coming from on the digital transfer? Ive tried several capture formats MPEG, DVD, AVI etc. the static is present on all versions. Im using the EasyCAP USB device with A/V plugs for capturing.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 as well as the trial version of X4 which I have just downloaded. I am having the same problem with both versions. When I go into Capture, there is no image coming through the Capture Window, it is just black. When I hit Capture Video, it does start capturing and it does record video correctly, however when I stop capturing, the preview window turns black again.
How can I get the video to be seen in the Capture preview window?
My computer is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit edition. I am using a USB capture device, the Diamond Multimedia VC500 One Touch VHS Video Capture USB 2.0.
I have a Sony Handycam DVD403 that works great even though it is old. Was trying to import the mini DVD into X3. In the picture below you can see that X3 recognizes it, but the import button is grayed out.
Not sure the best way to go about this. I did not want to reinstall the Sony Picture Package software that never worked real well in the first place, but that is how I was able to import it into VS11. I was kinda hoping X3 would just import it and I would not have to use Picture Package. How to import my mini DVD's? The folders are:
DCIM
Video_RM
Video_TS
Using VideoStudio X4. After initial problems with installation it has now installed fine and is working well. However, when capturing video from my Panasonic NV-GS400 mini dv camcorder the film does not show in the preview window. It did at first but now does not preview. I have not changed any settings nor have I changed anything in my method of capture. The film does capture ok - capture in avi format - its just a little unsettling not being able to see it during capture. I watch it on the pull out screen of the camcorder so I can tell when to stop capture etc.
Also, when capturing, the film runs for a few seconds then stops and then starts again and the capture begins from the second start point. I never had the problem with Ulead 9 but did have it with ProX2 but wondered if that was just a glitch because I was running it on Windows 7 and it had not originally been developed for that. Apart from that the program works well even when rendering HD footage from my new Panasonic HDC-TM700.
I have Ulead Videostudio 9. I am trying to capture from a DVD and following the manual instructions all goes OK up to the Import step. At that stage I get an error message "Temporary working forder does not exist. Report ID 0x8004083d(2109)" First time I have tried to capture stuff from a DVD. Program still works fine on all other aspects. I have checked the closed Ulead Forum and FAQ's but can find no solution. Is there anything I can do?

This the camera I purchased.

How do I do this. Now of course my camera records off an SD card and I can just stick it in there and edit. The reason I am hoping I can capture video just like I can with a webcam is because the view screen on my camera no longer functions so therefore I can only point in my general direction and center up the shot in post edit.
I just bought VSx4 but I noticed it crashes as soon as I try to capture
my camera: canon HV20 -firewire connected
my OS: windows 7
I already:
uninstalled, re-installed VSx4
turned off/pc - camera
connected/disconnected camera
since I installed vsx4 I can't capture in vs x3 too.
For convenience, I use my video camera for both video and taking still pictures. For video I use use a wide frame 16:9 while capturing stills I use a standard frame 4:3 (the standard frame allows a higher megapixel). I use VS X2 for creating my home DVD's and I use Photostory 3 for my slide shows.
I've never used the still capture function on VS until today. I needed a couple of stills from the video to match with the continuity of my slide show.
I realised that my screen capture would be wide screen but I figured I could edit the photo and crop it to 4:3. What actually happens is that VS X2 captures the image and squeezes it to 4:3 so in the end I get these long images!
I am using VS X6 ultimate that I purchased yesterday
I am capturing videos from VHS tape using an S-Video connection
I have tried different capture options settings and the capture always saves in MPEG
I believe that AVI has the least loss and would prefer to save in the AVI format since I intend to do some editing of the original content The end objective will be to burn reults to DVD
Can VS X6 capture files in AVI? If so, what settimgs should I use? Any settings that would be best for this type of transfer to HDD?
My capture card is a BlackGold BGT 3620 (which doesn't come with capture software). I had been using VideoStudio Pro X3 to capture VCRs through its analogue input (using S-Video) with no problems. However, I recently re-installed Windows (nothing different, it had just stopped working), and decided to give the trial version of VideoStudio Pro X4 a shot. When I go into the capture panel and click on "Capture Video", the "Source" field is blank, and the program completely hangs, so I have to kill it.
Of course, I can go back to X3, but sooner or later, it will no longer be supported, or there'll be some other reason I'm forced to upgrade, so I'd rather get this working.I tried running it as admin (although X3 used to work fine without it).
here's my set-up:
Mobo: ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
RAM: 8 GiB DDR3
GPU: Palit NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 (driver V. 275.33)
HDD: 3 x 160 GB 7200 RPM SATA II
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64. All service packs, updates, etc., installed.
Capture Device: BlackGold BGT 3620 (driver V. 8.1.0.0)
Capture Media: UK PAL VCR, from standard VCR player, through S-Video
Is it possible to capture from a file using VS Pro X2? I'm trying to get an AVI file into my timeline. Can I capture the file or do I Import it to video clips and then drag it into the timeline.

This is on my dads pc. he is running:
- Video Studio Pro x3 Pro which has had all patches applied.
- PC is an intel i5 2500 on a Asus P8P67 Pro motherboard.
- 64 bit Windows 7 Home premium all patches applies
- Canon HV30 connected via firewire
Note, I have used this camera with VS Pro x3 on another pc with no issue.,
not sure if i have got a setting applied incorrectly in vs pro x3 or not.
So what is a good reliable capture device that works with X3 and won't mess up on me? I've looked at ezcap, the real one, and I'm still not sure. BTW it has to be USB as I use my laptop.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI tried to use the trial version of VS 11plus with a Honestech Vidbox NW03 video capture device. I wanted to use VS11plus because I was unhappy with the video quality of Honestech VHS to DVD software. The VS wouldn't allow me to use the Vidbox even after uninstalling the Honestech software. I also tried using VS after uninstalling the Vidbox software. The only device that ever worked with VS for me was a Easy cap. Is Easycap the only device that works with VS or did I do something wrong? I have Vista Home Basic, 2.16GHZ, 3GB Ram and 250GB Hard drive on my laptop.

Is there any way to schedule video capturing with this software ? For example, can I automate it to capture daily at a certain time for a fixed duration or can this only be done manually ?
