Hello to all! I am a new (old) user as in I have an OLD DVSTORM card and a new(er) computer. The Storm served me well throughout a number of years in video production and home movie projects! The newer computer is an AMD 32bit Win7 based system donated by my son when I bought him a newer one. I have searched this and other forums for info on using my DVStorm with the newer system and Win7 (Or XP as I can install that if need be) and without going into all the details it looks like Edius 4 may solve my woes. (unless some of you can enlighten me!?)
I was trying to get Storm software to work and got as far as if I click 'off' the stormedit app a single frame of the input source appears but when I click back to the program the preview goes blank into a greenish-black screen.
I have followed some of the suggestions on Edius system optimization with Win7 and the overlaymethod ini entries but still get the same thing. Its an HP Pavillion computer and the bios is pretty bland so the only setting I cannot access is PCI latency. The card is recognized and drivers are installed. DVStorm2 software runs no problem and I can import and play clips I have on a separate video drive out over the FW cable to my camera and deck. But no overlay even though Storm Test says overlay is good. I have not tried S-video capture or DV capture as the overlay has my attention but I find it very interesting the DV out will show video I have on my harddrive!
So I have decided to try Edius 4 or 4.5 or pro xx, etc... But there seems to be a hole in my plan! I cannot find a source for 4.xx anywhere....anywhere!
I KNOW it is old software and not readily available through any normal channels....that is why I post now...
If anybody has it just lying around I would be glad to purchase it from you so I may get analogue capture back! Analogue and DV would be nice. I still have a large collection of 8mm/Hi8/VHS/SVHS/DV tapes of my family and was using the old system to digitize them when it decided to burp.
I know I might have a chipset issue but would like to try Edius before I go on a search for other hardware.
I edit on a Mac based system now (sorry) with (xx) products but there is no analogue support and FW input from my Sony 8mm/Hi8/D8 deck direct to the computer is very touchy. The DVStorm was always rock solid when capturing tapes with problematic audio tracks or timecode.
Thanks for any help!
