Saving Movie back to DV

[Chad]

Hi,

I am having trouble getting a "good" copy of a movie back
onto the DV Camera (JVC DVL320). I can import the raw
movie onto my PC (PIV 2.0, 512Mb RAM) and i can play it
successfully. Although when i copy this footage either
editted with transitions etc the picture is fine although
the audio drops out at different intervals for approx 1
sec.

As a last resort i simply grabbed this raw footage and
dumped it on the timeline and selected save to DV. When
this is saving back onto the DV the picture quality is
again excellent although the sound dropsout every now and
then. Thus resulting in a final product that is
unwatchable.

I have done various searches on the net and found a few
similar people experiencing the same problem although no
resolution that i have tried has worked.

Can someone either suggest a method of rectifying this
problem or possibly another software package that i could
try.

Ensure you have as little running in the background as possible when
exporting back to the camcorder. TEMPORARILY disable antivirus software
(just remember to re-enable it again soonest - some antivirus programs have
a 'snooze' feature so it automatically enables itself)... stop other
programs running like Seti at Home, Outlook, Outlook Express... anything
that might run while you're exporting...

Go away from the PC and make a cup of coffee or go watch tv while it's in
progress... don't surf, check email or whatever else you normally do! Or
export it overnight so you're not tempted!

Cari,

Thanks for the reply, basically i have already done this,
(should have mentioned in the first email). Secondly i
downloaded an evaluation of CyberLink's Power Director Pro
and was able to get the video footage back onto the DV
successfully. Therefore i am going to create the movie
with MM2 with transitions, music etc. Save as an DV-AVI
then open this file in Power Director and upload to the
camera. Finger crossed it will work successfully.

Stephanie,

Yes this has worked. ie, Edit using MM2 then save as DV-
AVI format to my PC. Import this saved movie into Power
Director and then use Power Director to "upload" to the
DV Camera. (Note: This does require a lot of disk space
but it works so i'm stoked).

Hi,

I have downloaded Cyberlinks Power Director. I found out that saving the DV
AVI-file goes wrong; that is, some frames haven't got audio. On the timeline
in MM2 the sound is good.

Does anyone has an answer?

Greetings,
Arthur
