I have captured 5 dv tapes to my PC. I have produced about 6 files in .vsp taking scenes from the 5 dv tapes. Unfortunately I erased the original captured files. Now I have a relink problem as I have captured again the 5 dv tapes and the new filenames are now different from the original captured files.

How can I capture again the original files with the original filenames?

I don't think you can do that (I think the name is derived from the date & time), but you can rename the files back to the old names. (Open the folder in Windows Explorer. Right Click. Select Rename. Or, or click twice with a pause so you don't "double click" and directly edit the name.

How do I know what was the the name of the original file?

Thanks.

If your new files are all in the same folder can you not just re-link one of them and then the others will automatically re-link. Or have I not understood the problem?

VS will not recognize the other new filenames because have been re-captured.

I think this cannot be done. Maybe I can change the PC's clock for the day I captured them. What do you think?

Thanks.

There is a little more to it than just re linking.
You can only re link to a video that is as long as or longer than the original.
If you recapture the video and it is smaller - even by only a frame then you will not be able to re link to it.

Yes.....you are right.

Thanks.
