Do you remember DVRex capture with Pause option?

[Ulisse]

Hi, I have just purchased a new PC for Edius NX. In the past time when I used DVRex RT card, the DVRex capture had a very interesting option for me. It had the Pause option. In the meantime the tape run in the recorder, sometime I used the Pause option, so that I got one avi file of what I liked. Now I use Edius 4 but I don't like its capture at all. Do you know if there is a software with Pause option as DVRex?
Thanks for some info, Ulisse

I'm not 100% sure but DVCapture might be the solution. You'll find the newest version in the download section.

Thanks for your news. In the Canopus download section I read:

"DVCapture provides the ability to capture from multiple DV sources simultaneously, when using OHCI FireWire ports or any supported Canopus video editing board. Other features of DVCapture include scene-detection file dividing and the choice of either capturing with the Canopus or Microsoft DV codec."

I don't know if it is the right software for me. Bu I have to tell it sems imposible that in Edius 4 there isn't the Pause option.
thanks

You can capture up to 3 sources simultaneously.

Actually it is 3 sources for NTSC and only 2 sources for PAL

I've never tried it but do you know where the PAL limitation comes from?

You can capture up to 3 sources simultaneously.

Sorry, I don't take interest to capture up to 3 sources simultaneously.
Perhaps you have not understood my bad english.
To capure the files I need a sofwtare with wich I can have a Pause option while the tape run in the recorder.
thanks

I don't know where that limitation comes from...I have tried it though and I couldn't capture from 3 sources....It is written somewhere on the canopus website as well...


Ulisse
DV Capture will do the job you want as well....I'm 99% possitive

And, of course, you don't have. Just choose one capture window and you are fine.

Afaik you need a Canopus capture card (eg DVStorm) and one OHCI card with two inputs. And there's a limitation with the sources, too:

When 2 ports of an OHCI card are used to capture DV, the preview capture windows will be mixed and unable to be viewed correctly when you are using DV camcorders that do not support CMP(Connection Management Protocol). In this case, only two ports (DVStorm/DVRaptor-RT and OHCI) can be used to capture.

I have just downloaded DVCapture but before installing it, I'd like to know if with it is possible to work with HDTV and with Canopus codecs. I don't understand it.
thanks

The name says it all: DV Capture. You'll get a Canopus DV *.avi when using the utility.

[Ulisse]

Therefore why Zorro have just recommended DVCapture? ;) ;)

It's a DirectShow limitation (Microsoft). I had thought, though, that this issue was fixed in SP2.

Perhaps not?

It does MSDV too, in the options box.
