Hi.

After having transfered a movie video to a VCD with very
good results, I had bad results when transfering the same
video to a mini DV tape on SONY DCD-TRV80E, both with
Pinnacle's Studio 9 and WMM.

With the first one, I obtained good parts, cut by blanks
and with the second I had the same result but without
sounds.

The Sony support told me that the movie programs direct
the operations.

How to find the real reason of the bad results and to
eliminate it ?

Thank you in advance pahaf
 
Hi there,

Your problems indicate that there is a bottle neck somewhere. If you first
save your video to your hard drive using the DV-AVI option, does that video
display any of the properties described? If it does not then it would
indicate that your problem is with the cameras connection to your computer.
Assuming you are using a firewire card and cable (or ilink) it is possible
that the card or the cable (or even the socket on the camera) may be
defective. Your ability to capture using the card or cable does not
guarantee that sending the data back to the camera will work as required.

There is a program called WinDV (there is a link on my website) that
transfers video to and from DV cameras. Its free and acclaimed by many. It
has also fixed your type of problem for others in the past. Its probably
worth a try out
