I sent this message to lordsmurf originally but I guess rules say I must post publicly..
I was wondering if you could help me out a little. I am trying to convert some old family hi-8 video tapes. I have been reading in the forums and have been able to piece together some of what i need to do to make this happen. I have a CCD-TRV82 (has both TBC & DNR) and a Pinnacle DVC100. I am able to hook up to OBS just for testing purposes as I know my way around OBS. I have downloaded
VirtualDub and intend on using it but have not been able to navigate through the settings as of yet. I also downloaded the recommended update for the Dazzle DVC100 provided on DigitalFaq. I am running into a couple of snags and was hoping you could shed some light with your knowledge and experience.
1. When I import through the dazzle I am not able to use the s-video output, only RCA for video. Is there another setting on the camera or using the DVC1000 im missing? I do not have anything else that inputs s-video and am not able to troubleshoot if it is the dazzle or not.
2. I am not seeing any audio out of the unit. The first time i hooked up I had audio, then the second time and everytime after no audio outputed from the RCA jacks. I intend on testing that on another input source (my TV) to see if it is the camera or the Dazzle.
3. I plan on converting to the highest possible resolution and the highest possible quality. File size is not a concern. Are there any recommendations for my inport settings?
I appreciate any help you can offer and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I should mention that after my Hi-8 imports, I plan on moving to Digital 8mm imports, then to VHS imports. All of which I have a pile of waiting to be digitized.
