DV Type 1 to DivX ? Am I right: nearly impossible.

[deutschem]

Capture with Hollywood DV-Bridge (I think DV Type 1)
Try use Virtualdub, error message
Try use a .avs file, no error message
I think the Problem is that the audio and video data is only available in 1 stream.

Any omniscient for help/tips/links ?

you can convert your DV AVI (type 1) to DV AVI (type 2); I'm assuming that's what you want to do, with Canopus DV File Converter. I don't have a link specific to the download page, but you should be able to find it by navigating around http://www.justedit.com

hope this helps.

i have a hollywood dv bridge, and i found the best cap prog is the sonicfoundry cap prog, which is freeware and will capture multisegmented type2 dv, so you dont have to convert after capture http://www.sonicfoundry.com

humdinger,

thank you for posting.
I can't find any cap prog in "Free Stuff" ?

jtor,

ok that's right, now i have to buy a bigger HD because Canopus need the same space as the original (for me 20GB x 2)

I will give it a try

Thanx !

humdinger,
Try as I might, I couldn't get SF's capture program to capture multiple files. It also tried to capture the 4-channel 32KHz audio, when the tape had 2-channel 44KHz audio(result was no audio at all). And it was finicky and hung and crashed several times. I had these same type of results on a previous system (different processor, O/S, etc.), so it's either my Firewire card (Pyro) or camera (Canon Optura Pi).
The only good thing about it was that it could capture all the frames from a tape. I'm using Premiere now to capture, but it barfs if you tell it to start too close to the beginning or end too close to the end of the video on the tape (you need lead in and lead out).
Any words of wisdom?

fraid not i have had nothing but success with the sf cap prog, which i noticed they have taken down since the release of vegas 3. all i can suggest is to try downloading that, as it is a sh*thot editing prog aswell if u want to see some samples check my site www.vermillion-studios.co.uk for things ive managed to achieve with it
