I tried to capture a PAL-DV footage with different capture programs: DVApp Type 1 and 2 (from DirektX SDK), MainActor DVCapture, Capture from Mediastudio 6.0 and 6.5.
Results:
1. All captured avis were palyable with all Softwareplayers
2. All Type 2 captures could be edited on all Videoeditors with 2 exceptions: Mediastudio 6.0 displays only black frames after 4:40 Min (can be reproduced on any capture), Mainactor Viedeo sequencer has Audiodistortion after exactly the same time. All other Videoeditors I tested (demos) had no problems.
3. All Type 1 captures could't be edited with Mediastudio 6.0.

As tmpgenc can't proper render Type 1 avi (AFAIK) and I want to use Mediastudio 6.0 (I bought this one), I wonder if there is a solution to this problem. Maybe I have to stick to 4 Min chunks of video but that would be a pain.
Anybody encountered this problem too ?
BTW I'M capturing from VCR via Hollywoodbridge and Firewire.
