Re: Transferring to DV camera

Hi Wojo... it renders fully first and then copies. The rendering isn't a
real time process and it sometimes takes a long time to do it, depending on
project complexity. The copy to tape is limited in that the camcorder only
goes at one speed, so the data flow has to keep up.

Hey Papajohn
I don't copy back to tape so it is unfamiliar territory for me.
I know, obviously, how it works but I am just curious if resources
would/could be an issue.
Does it render to the HDD and transfer through firewire to the camera
simultaneously or, like in saving to CD, render then transfer?

Saving to a digital camcorder is a two step process... first it renders a
temporary DV-AVI file and then it copies it to the camcorder tape. Do it
in two steps but differently.

Save it to your computer's hard drive as a DV-AVI file...

Use the WinDV utility to copy it from there to the camcorder. WinDV uses
a larger buffer to reduce the probability of dropping frames. There's a
link to it on my Setup Movie Maker > Other Software page.

My video plays fine on movie maker, but when i click send to dv camera,
it
takes an hour before it starts up, and then another hour to actually
start
recording! And as it records and when I play it back it plays slowly and
it
is choppy and the audio sound seems strobed. I've tried many things to
fix
it, but it won't work right. It always recorded and played back fine on
my
other computer. Does anyone know what I can do? Help!
