Dv out (to tape) Premiere problems!!

[Paradebh]

I have a generic firewire card and adobe premiere 6.02. I want my edited clips on my D8 tape and sVHS tapes too (conect sVHS player to my camera (via analog inputs, of course) and my sony D8 camera via firewire to computer) but some videos i wanna only in sVHS (more than one hour).

I have one curious problem with print to tape (or play normal) in premiere: after some minutes (15 or 20 or 30......) the digital signal stops the transmition, the DV IN still on my viewfinder camera, the video plays in timeline (premiere), but the only image on my camera is a blue screen. What is this??

I haven't seen this after such a long period of time (15 - 30 minutes) but I often have problems if I try to monitor the video on the computer screen while exporting to tape. Do you have that turned off?

[Paradebh]

Yes, i turned off the preview on screen, the problem still the same!

[Paradebh]

Anybody can help me! This problem make me crazy!! I have one video in DV format (more than one hour) and i can't send it to my sVHS via firewire. pleaseeeeee

does your camera have a "sleep" mode?

My Sony "sleeps" after 15 min of "inactivity", I have to press a button every 10 min or so to maitain "awake" status

Just a thought

Bravo out

You seem desperate. What you're doing should work but doesn't. So I guess I would go to a work-around type solution.

Change the timeline in Premiere, output the first 15 minutes to tape. Change again and output the second 15 minutes and so on. If you don't touch the camcorder between sequences, the breaks should be seamless.

All of these posts don't works for me! Now, my video plays only 4 minutes and the camera crashes. In scenalizer the problem is the same. Sometimes the video plays 1 minute, 10 minutes, etc. My videos files has captured with "avi_io c3.20" and i have 6 files with 2gb. Is the problem on this capture program? I think i will reinstall all things in my computer...... (oh god, i'm soo sad) Thanks for everyone

Serious suggestion:

try windows 2000

far more stable and no file size problems if you use NTFS

I'm using windows 2000.... The problem is Bill Gates!

Are you adverse to buying another piece of hardware?

The Canopus ADVC-100 will give you better DV->analog than just about any other solution. The codec is arguably one of the best and it has hardware enhancement so your tapes should be quite nice.

My setup is very similar to what yours seems to be. I've not tried sending back to the DV camcorder (Canon in my case) then to tape. My unit doesn't have pass-thru conversion so we're talking wear-and-tear and more time to do that.

Something else I'm not clear about is what happens to deinterlaced DV when it's sent back to a DV recorder. I've sent a question to MainConcept about this but no answer yet.

Another thought:

Are you saving your edits as a DV file then just trying to play that back? If so, are you SURE the file is 100% DV compliant and not one of the proprietary flavors used by some editing programs?

(I don't use AVIO, I capture with Vegas Video and do most of my editing with VirtualDub using the MainConcept CODEC.)

I forget one thing!! My captured files are a VHS (pluged on my camera) captured via firewire. I desactvated the DV IN (for a moment) to capture de analog signal. The avi_io was the best program to do this (without dropframes). The funny thing is: i don't tested the avi files captured via DV tapes yet. I will try it and if don't works too, the problem are the files captured with "avi_io" or my camera (or my windows).

Some news! I reinstall all softwares in my computer and the problem stills. I tested the same thing with a sony vx2000 too, and the problem comes again (the problem is not in camera). The avi files captured with avi_io (analog device via firewire) has inversed field!!!. Everytime witch i export to tape (not to video) the COPY INIBIT shows on my camera and i had best results without analog cable pluged to tv. Is there a codec (microsft DV) problem? Or a Sony problem?

PS: The COPY INIBIT problem was resolved with inverse filed options

I found the solution (for me). I have a ASUS P3V-133 motherboard and i found a strange setings in my bios configuration called: "DELAYED TRANSACTION - ENABLED" something relative to PCI. I disable this settings and now i can export many hours of video. (I tested with premiere). FINALY I CAN EDIT MY VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY
