RE: Capture using MEP 15

@1940 Try capturing your DV with WinDV. Works under Win 10. I never did like the way MEP captured DV.

RE: Capture using MEP 15

Thank you for the long reply. :-) It wasn't a TI Fire wire however I found one in another old box and it was, so I replaced it. Unfortunately nothing has changed with the 20MB - 6 seconds stop. I tried another tape and got the same result, but it

RE: Capture using MEP 15

Thank you , yes that did the controlling the DV tape starting, however it still stops recording. It looks like at 20MB is the number it stops at. BTW The panel is exactly the same. Yes chose the DV camera capture and do use firewire to the PC.

@1940 Hi . . . . Colours are no good, manly grey with green and red tinges every so often. . . . . This usually occurs if you are capturing in the wrong TV standard ie NTSC captured as PAL or vice versa. . . . . I decided to hook the Hi 8 cam up to

RE: Optimum Video Format for Editing and Export...?

Intuitively I had expected it would take longer for the program to trawl through a 13GB AVI file than e.g. a 2GB MP4 file of the same clip, @Richard-Curtis To illustrate the point that size isn't related to difficulty in editing, I'm currently

@Richard-Curtis Hi I hadn't appreciated the distinction between AVI and DV-AVI, and couldn't understand why I was getting these huge files when working with AVI clips that resulted in slowing the program down when I tacked a few of them

RE: Buzzing audio for imported AVI files

Thank you all, I appreciate the input. I need to use the intermediate FireWire App because I am passing video from a 8mm camcorder through my FireWire DV Camcorder to my PC. If I try to use MEP directly, it controls my DV Camcorder (i.e. turns it to

RE: Optimum Video Format for Editing and Export...?

@Richard-Curtis . . . . I can now see that both arrive at similarly sized MP4 files in the end as determined by the required resolution, frame rate etc. - so that's why (as you point out) they take around the same time to recode. Is that correct? .

@Richard-Curtis Hi, When I edit my DV AVI files, I just use the imported source. This has always worked fine for me...except for being reminded that I'm so far behind in making proper videos out of all of these that I'll never catch up. I use the

RE: Buzzing audio for imported AVI files

Greetings, In older versions of MEP I've occasionally had audio problems with imported AVIs. If memory serves me well, I had some success with "curing" the audio noise by going to File-Settings-Program-Import/Export and under Import Formats
