As I said it is a little difficult to identify the frame order, like Video Studio the properties shown from Gspot do not say Frame Based or Progressive. GSpot shows 25 frames, that means it is frame based/progressive. If the file was interlaced it would have 50 fields for PAL, 25 upper, 25 lower, b...

Can you record a new video, very short and try that to see if you get the same blanks in the audio.
Are there any settings on the camera that can be changed, have you changed any, even inadvertently?
If there are, try changing anyway to see if another new recording works well.

VS11 is now quite dated. What are your file properties? It may be that todays newer file types do not work well in your older programme.

No problem, it is often the case you find the answer straight after posting, thanks for letting us know.

I haven't used MF to capture, but what you need to look for is a "capture whole tape" option, or removal of "split by timecode" option. If you can't find these, then using another capture utility would be best. As you are using Win 7, you may have windows live photo gallery already installed, you ca...

I haven't noticed any stuttering, but the resolution difference between NTSC and PAL is noticeable (which after all is one of 2 reasons - the other being colour stability - why PAL was invented). The suggestions re uploads etc are (in more details) what I initially suggested, but the response was t...

i must have made an oopsie on the settings lol VS wouldnt allow me to edit the file after. any settings u might be able to recommend? (hopefully one where i dont turn a 5gb file into a 23 again ) I think we need your file properties, if you have used a codec to make your 23gb file into a 5gb file i...

I couldn't do anything with the test clip as supplied, on any of my pc's, even my editing one, which has plenty of codecs on. I couldn't get Handbrake to load it to convert, but I could use freemake, which converted it to an MP4 file and then this could be used in any app I had, VS, Edius, Premiere ...

AVI is just a wrapper and can contain one of over 800 different file types.
What you need to find out is what codec was used to make the file, install this in your pc and hope VS can pull it in.
It may not, as it will depend on how the codec is made etc etc.

A lot depends on what the source is. If you are viewing UHD made movie then watching it with a UHD tv will see a difference in quality over an HD tv. If you are watching a HD movie then the difference will be very minimal, and can depend on how good a quality HD tv you use to compare, as each maker ...

How are you burning the disc that you report the size on?
Using VS?
Using another app?
What is that app?
What settings did you choose?

With regards to the dv file, an apple dv file is different to a windows one. Your copy of vs on windows would be looking for a windows file, I would suggest using the canopus to capture a file with VS on your Mac, this should give you a windows dv.avi file and it should work in your copy of VS.

As it is a lossy file format - which means with each save there will be some quality loss - you really need to do a small test, or do it and use save as and save it as a different file name, so you have your original copy as well, then check if you are happy with the quality loss. A lot depends on w...

It's also most likely that the new computer has a limited number of codecs installed, so won't play many file types.

Lack of a codec, what did you shoot the video on, did this come with a disc with any software on?
