Just a Quick Question: How to capture Full Length of a Casse

[sunilk_14]

Hello Guys,

My MiniDV Cassette has full length of video, but somewhere there is a break between two clips. When I am trying to capture video, the first clip is captured, But the Capturing software didn’t captured my second part (It says, end of video).

• How to capture the full length of Cassette, even though it has breaks between clips?
  How does this break forms? How to Avoid it?

Thanks in Advance.

Sunil Kumar.

I'm assuming you're "capturing" with firewire. Use WinDV, set the Discontinuity Threshold to 0.

Edit: Also disable device control.

And in the future, try to avoid time code breaks. you can do this by either slightly rewinding after you stop your first recording or by recording black to the entire tape before you record anything to it.
