VS14 keeps crashing when capturing from DV. Weak.

[Klepper]

Whenever I try to capture anything from VHS > DV > Firewire to my PC VS crashes hard core. Everything freezes and it reboots.

i7-2700K
I have Two brand new 4th generation SSD (Vertex 4's) in RAID 0, Read and writes @ 1GB/sec
I have 16GB of RAM, 2133, half is a RAMdrive (temp). This reads and writes @ 5GB/sec. I usually write to this because there is no possible chance of bottleneck. Though I've tried SSD or HDD write too. Top of the line everything else, MB, sound, etc. How the hell much more power do I need?

Can't believe the FREE 100Kb WinDV can capture for 8 hours + no hiccups, no lost frames, but the second I try to capture, even go into capture mode with VS14 it starts to stall, crash, choke up and eventually reboot the whole F%^&$%^ machine, leaving my 6TB RAID 5 to have to rebuild.

Gee thanks VS, you're sure worth every penny /sarcasm.

Please look at this post and see if my suggested solution works for you... http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php ... 06#p254506

By the way, a lot of us here use WinDV in preference to VS, but not because the VS firewire capture does not work. It's because WinDV allows you to assign your own name to the captured video clips.

Hi,

I wanted to post a thread expressing my dismay at the primitive DV capture offered by VS but luckily I searched the forums first and rolled into this thread. VS -must- be improved to have flexible filenames for the clips being captured from DV. DV may be quite dead but I'm sure I'm not the only one sitting on a pile of tapes that need to be archived while they still work. Back in the day ('99) when I bought the camera (JVC GR-DVL9500 at a whopping $1500) I couldn't even load an entire tape on a single SCSI disk. Now I'm piling all these tapes on my NAS (hopefully after compressing them a tad, see my new thread about that topic).

Anyway, the point is that back then I could not preserve my downloaded tapes. Didn't have enough disk space. Now I do. But now I also realize that I should organize my videos by year/month so I can find stuff again. Unbelievable that VS does not use the date/time information available in the DV stream to create file names.

I hadn't heard about WinDV, thanks for pointing it out. Looks great. At the moment I'm using Windows Live Photo Gallery for import. Works very nicely, especially for a freebie.

Best,

Sander

PS back in '99 I used Media Studio Pro and we sort of looked down on Video Studio. Back in the old Ulead days. How times have changed.
