Any Capture Tools recommend?

Post by wai2 »

My VS11+ can't capture the video from my HDV camera as described by separated threads. Any good recommendation on Capture Tool, and which the tool could splite the video by scene automatically?

I just tried Nero Vision, but the video captured is a single file even I had selected the "Detect scenes while capturing". The video file is in 11GB large, it made my VS11+ freezed for a long period while I imported for editing. :cry: :cry:

I've used this HDV capture utility many times:
http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm

It can split by scene, I wouldn't bother installing the reccommended codecs to preview the video. Just turn previewing off & use the LCD on the cam to preview.
Note that this program captures the HDV video from the cam in it's native format which is .m2t (Transport Stream). CPU usage is very low. You can load the videos into VS11+ but it's my opinion that VS11+ isn't reading the fielding information correctly. They are UFF (Upper Field First) as recorded on a HDV camcorder if you recorded in the standard HDV format.

VS11+ right now will work much better with these videos if they were in the Program Stream Format. If you have VS10+ or MF5+ installed on the computer they automatically convert the TS to PS before loading the videos into the timeline.

Still waiting for patch for VS11+
