MSP8 timecode (recording date) does not work

newsletterpost2 · Post by **newsletterpost2** » Wed Jun 21, 2006 7:08 pm

following scenario

i captured a DV tape to disk, works well
the scenery detection (i used dv timecode) splitted the movie in parts, all well
the original date on all parts show the date of the first part
the first part is the correct date, but all later parts the wrong date

there is an option in settings configuration to show the timecode in the preview window. If I play a later part of the video the timecode in preview shows the correct date and time

Whats wrong

I have also downloaded the Videostudio 10 trial, the same problem there! Can anybody help?

sorry for bad english

It's not that people don't want to answer you, it's that they can't. Unfortunately you haven't filled out your system specs in your profile so we don't have a clue where to start.

Please fix that.

That said; the Source Window timecode feature requires a certain capability from your display card; VMR (Video Mixing Renderer), AKA Overlay Mixer.

This info is in the MSPro manual on the first page of the "Getting Started" section; pg. 41

This function is used to overlay the timecode over the Source Windows video stream in realtime.

VMR was first made available for the Windows XP platforms only. Beginning with DirectX 9.0 a separate version of the VMR, VMR-9, came out for redistribution on all platforms supported by DirectX.

Still; the video card MUST support VMR.
