capture settings

It can be done in EDIUS

not with my version :)

Looks like I was confused. The export part lets you use msdv.
Dvcapture lets you capture in msdv.

Or you have to capture and export to msdv or use a pc3 watch folder to do the conversion.

Wait it looks like I have my wires crossed.
Give me a minute to go to a system.

now I feel really stupid! I can't find where that DV AVI capture screen is.

Sorry, I just noticed your thumbnail. I'll give it a try.

I guess I can. I was hoping to capture all of my tapes for future use and I'm not sure I will always have access to a canopus/GV editor. Are you suggesting capturing in Edius with Microsoft DV capture setting? If so, how do I find that?

I know I'm killing you but... I captured some footage using "DV Capture" and when I try to view it in Windows Media Player it says i'm missing a codec. I also tried to edit with it in premiere and Edius with the same error. Any ideas?

Why not capture in EDIUS? (save dialogue)

Also DVCapture will only work with Windows XP. .

Works in Vista too if you have EDIUS installed and your dongle plugged in. :)

Edius can't capture Microsoft DV, )

Also DVCapture will only work with Windows XP. SCLive is essential for DV, I highly recommend it.

Edius can't capture Microsoft DV, you need to use optional software such as Scenalyzer (not free) or DVCapture (free from canopus.com registered user download area)

I realize this sounds absurd, but can you please walk me through the process? I assume I capture in edius with NHX-E1 SD NTSC for the project setting. I select with the capture pulldown the right input NHX-E1 DV. Where is the capture settings to select microsoft DV?

Processing will be the same essentially, since the data rate is still the same (DV).

I only suggested MSDV since you said you wanted to include the possibility of not using a GV/Canopus solution in the future. Using MSDV ensures this.

so microsoftDV is the way to go? Since I am using eidus to edit with for now, will the process be any slower with the MSDV format? What format should I output my final movie again to be compatible in the future?

Thanks.
