Hi,

I got hit with this; I have no idea what happened; and would appreciate any suggestions you have:

I captured a series of clips from a Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge with ULead VS v5 (all patches) because Dazzle's DV capture won't span 4GB (YUK!). I can play the "raw clips" with Windows Media Player v7 and load and process them all with TMPGE v2.52 (a short test before cancelling).

I then cut from beginning and end of every clip with DV Sequencer and TMPGE processed all but one. Neither Media Player nor TMPGE would read this one. I tried cutting at slightly different points in the clip...no luck. All were captured on a Win98-2 box and some were processed on a WinXP box, including the bad one.

This has happened before. Sometimes tooLame blows-up but not TMPGE and sometimes I have to recapture.

I then cut the bad one with VideoStudio and TMPGE is over half-way through a 4-hour process as I write this.

I'm looking for ways to drop ULead and I'd hoped DV Sequencer would work.

I've tried VirtualDub but can't make it read clips captured with the DV Bridge. Another thread suggested converting with Canopus's conversion utility. I tried every option in it without success, VirtualDub won't read anything I've tried.

Any ideas what is happening? Any comments on any of this?

Thanks!
Allan
