DV Quick scan standalone?

[fabiospark]

Can anybody try and let me know if DV Quick scan works as a stand alone app outside Visual studio, please?

I'm not a VS user so I can't try it myself.

And what do you use to capture HDV?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums...

Regarding DV Quick Scan, I simply don't know the answer, though I have to say I am not completely sure what you mean by the question anyway! But in any case, I rather doubt that it can be a stand-alone...

As for HDV, you can use Video Studio (note the name is Video Studio, not Visual Studio -- which is a Microsoft application unrelated to video). However, I use a small freeware program called HDVSplit because, as its name implies, it splits the incoming HDV by scene. That is something which Video Studio cannot do with HDV -- it can only capture as one long file or you start and stop the capture yourself...

Thanks for your prompt reply.

What I am asking is if DV quick scan is an exe file and, if it is, what happens if you execute it
or double click on it.

I'm a Sony Vegas user and to capture it uses an external sony app (vidcap.exe).
If you run this app without Vegas it still works.

If I correctly understood, DV quick scan is able to split the capture into scenes
according to the shooting date and time.
Can it create a tape index too?
If yes, even at high speed?

Who knows ScenalyzerLive knows what I mean.

Thanks.

Hello fabiospark,

If you are referring to the DV Quick Scan under the CAPTURE section of VideoStudio, I'm afraid you cannot use this independently, since this is a module of videoStudio.
