Can anybody help with a problem that has been driving me mad? I have a Panasonic mini DV camcorder and am trying to transfer video to my PC via firewire so I can burn to DVD. PC is using a 200GB hard drive, Windows 2000, AMD Athlon 1800+ CPU, with 512 MB of RAM. Software I have tried is Win DVD creator, Image Transfer and Nero 6. When capturing, the capture seems to work OK, but when I playback, the video is fine, but the sound plays really slowly. I have one video where it starts off OK but the sound turns slow 10 minutes in to the file. I am sure in the past it worked OK when I first got it all hooked up and I don't think I am doing anything different. I am capturing as AVI files. Any suggestions much appreciated!
Are you sure you are capturing to DV-AVI and not some other codec? Try one of the free capturing utilities listed here and see if you have the same problem. http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/downloads/freedownloads.php
Thanks - Great link I tried DVAPP for a quick (1 minute) trial and all seemed well. Watch this space! Cheers
A few issues here, but there are two types of AVI (Type 1 and 2, not surprisingly) and they interleave the audio differently ... and interleave mismatches creates audio sync or no-audio problems ... good luck.
