Capturing in .AVI e DVD burning

[giovanni]

Hi there,

I captured from my DV Camera Sony Trv18E. My laptops runs
on XP, and I use MM2. After capture with MM2, I burned the
video on DVD using Nero Vision Express 2. But towards the
end of the DVD, it does not play smoothly as if, in the
capture process, some frames were dropped. Is this the
cause ?

Thanks to anyone,

Giovanni

Can you check your source file that you captured from the camcorder and see
if it plays smoothly? That would tell you if your capture was good.

Playback of a DV-AVI file is one of the processes that takes a more powerful
computer, and your hard drive should be tuned up (defragged) or you might
see hesitations in the playback that are not due to the file itself.

Hi PapaJohn,

many thanks for your reply. I did visit your site too.
It plays fine on the camcorder indeed. May it be a screensaver that went on during capture ? The computer runs on XP, 512MB Ram, P4 2.8Ghz, Firewire, 80Gb HardDisk FAT32 format.
You reckon it is not enough ?

Awaiting your kindest answer,

Giiovanni

You have plenty of computer power, but your FAT32 file system limits you to
4 GB files.... for video work you would want to change to NTFS so you're not
limited.

The speed (7200 rpm is good) and condition (free space and defragged) of the
hard drive is vital to capturing and exporting.

Great

many thanks PapaJohn. I have a partition on the hard disk, I'll format one section as NTFS, and make sure it is defragged
Do you really suggest TMPGenc to encode to MPEG2 or Nero Vision Express 2 is ok

Thanks for help and support

I don't usually burn discs so my personal experience is pretty limited. But
I read zillions of posts: the accolades for TMPGEnc never stop, and the
negative comments about Nero are many.

It would depend on how you want to balance the quality versus time to get to
burning.... higher quality rendering with something like TMPGEnc takes
longer. Try it both ways if you can, with the same starting movie, and make
your own assessment.

Great,
