Hope you have a speedy recovery. Enjoy some down time with your family. Once they are gone, you can't bring them back. I lost my Mom a year ago on April 2 and it's been very hard on me, so I...

One more quick question for you. Do you control your TBC remotely to make adjustments like I would have to control the FS1? I do have a laptop that would work well for that and I'm not using it for...

I may go ahead and order an SDI card from Blackmagic and try MediaExpress and then use Davinci, at least it's free and a robust program. For my MPEG encoding and authoring for DVD I use the TMPG...

That's why I like the way I currently capture and edit with the Newtek VT5 software. I also see tapes where the levels are wrong all the time, such as black level and exceeding 100 IRE. I can set...

Yes, the Aja FS1 does have an interface so you can use a browser and adjust brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation. I've also done quite a bit of reading and the internal conversion back to...

Capturing using Blackmagic Mini Recorder PCIe card?

I'm used to being able to adjust audio and video levels when capturing using a scope since I currently use an old Newtek VT5 system for capture and editing. I use an Aja FS1 for TBC and currently...

Only thing I can see is that it looks like the loading motor is maybe not running. Will probably take a little more troubleshooting to find out why it's not running.

Being an old PC to run the Newtek VT5 software and hardware, there isn't a USB3 connection on it. I never did find the device you are using, maybe it's not made now. I did find one though that has...

I did a little research tonight and the Newtek SDI expansion that used to be on the market was not just a simple addon card. It replaced the VT card with a VTPro card and also added an expansion...

I agree, that would be the ultimate way to do it. I'm not sure I have another slot to put one in the PC. Actually, Newtek made a SDI card for the VT5 system. I've never owned one. If I can find...

The original file is 1280x720p at 59.94 frame rate. Since the DVD spec allows progressive, I should probably keep it that way and render to 720x480p 16x9. Doesn't mean it will play on all players,...

Thanks for the reply. The BMD Video Assist does sound like it would do the job. The five-inch model is about $525 I think. The Apple ProRes quality for SD video should be fine. I can get a...
