Computer to Pioneer 510h ?

[Rayat]

Anyone no how to get a pioneer 510h dvd recorder to recognise my computers firwire card .I'm using pinicale studio 8 and want to record to the pioneers dv in/out but is just says no camcoder connected I was thinking there might be a 1394 host controller or driver I could load to trick the pioneer into thinking a camcorder is present.The reason I want to do this is if you use the output to tape setting in studio 8 the render time is super quick. I have output my movie projects back to my camcorder using the dv out on the capture card back to the dv in on my camcorder using this method and it works really well the quality is good,but I would prefer to burn it directly to a dvd using the pioneer.Anyway hope someone can help I hope this is the right forum for this question. Thank you...

try using DVapp or DVIO to send the DV.

I'm Having the same problem with a Philips DVDR-615/17. I edit on my PC using Pinnacle Edition 5.1 and want to output to the DVD Recorder via firewire. The computer "sees" the DVD recorder, but when I try to output from the Edition timeline, the Philips recorder sees no signal. I have to first record to DV tape via firewire and then record to DVD recorder via firewire from my Dony DV deck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

yeah, export from the timeline to a DV file on the computer. then use DVapp or DVIO to stream to the recorder. should be quicker to render from the timeline to a file than export to tape.

Well I found a way that works well using the output to tape with pinnacle studio 8. Connect your vidio camera to firwire,put in a blank tape, the pioneer 510h detects the camcorder as normal.Hit start record on your tv screen, press play on your rendered movie project on your pc, it will record directly to your dvd recorder, the dvd recorder thinks i'ts comming from the camcorder works perfectly for me.

does your camera have two firewire ports then?

No my pc firewire capture card has three dv in\out ports, connect your camcorder to one and you dvd recorder to another.

I have had success using my old Adobe Premiere 6.02. I have a Pinnacle Pro One capture card with Premiere 6.02. I hooked both my Sony DV deck and the Philips DVD recorder into the Pro One's two firewire ports. When I started Premiere, the software recognized both machines by name. I selected the Philips DVD recorder as the output, created a short video on the timeline and pressed record on the DVD. It worked perfectly!

In my case, the problem seems to lie in the fact that Pinnacle Edition does not recognize the Philips DVD. Premiere 6.02, a four year old program, has no problem with it. Go figure.
