Hi,

I have a sony dcrtrv19 minidv cam and a winxp pro thinkpad . I have successfully captured and edited the movie through a SIIG fire wire card and Ulead video studio 6 SE. When I tried to export the edited movie back to the camera tape, it's getting recorded but with blank screen in every few seconds. I'm loosing some portions of the movie for about few milliseconds, each time the blank screen appears.DMA is enabled in my pc and I tried stopping all unwanted processes including virus protection. But no luck. Does any one came across such problem?? I have around 7 gb free hard disk after creating the 13gb NTSC DV_AVI file.Any help would be greatly appreciated..

thanks

You need to transfer back to your camcorder as .AVI file.

I would try rebooting, and try WinDV.

Video file is a .avi file. I tried rebooting and used winDV. But no luck. The preview screen in winDv shows the movie without much interruption, but the camera lcd display breaks, in between as before.

I can't think of much else, except perhaps:

I'm not sure the video is being interrupted if it appears interrupted in the camcorder LCD. Have you played back the transferred video to a TV or to your computer?

Are you sure you saved it as a continuous NTSC DV_AVI file with Ulead. Have you viewed the AVI file with Windows Media Player to see if it is continuos?

Try defragging your hard drive and then try WinDV again.

Thanks for the reply. I tried defragmenting the disk and used WinDV.But still the same problem occurs. The video file is continuous while viewing in windows media player. But the recorded movie from the camcorder freezes while pleying back in media player. Where the movie breaks and gives blank screen in LCD display, the same scene freezes in media player. Is there any significance for baud rate of the camera.It's 100 for my camera

thanks

1. I'm wondering if your .AVI file was corrupted some way in the rendering process in Ulead video studio. I have had it happen to me twice with other programs. Seemed like it was effects or transitions I applied. One I had to fix by removing some frames, another by re-rendering. They were locking up my MPEG encoder. Do you have any other known good .AVI's on your system you can try?

2. You might be a little short of hard drive free space, perhaps the computer is slowing down while trying to use the swap file. Or you might be short of memory. That's one reason I use WinDV, it uses little system resources.

3. You might try splitting the .AVI into smaller portions.

4. You might try going to http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm to see what processes can be shut down. I have gone through my two XP systems with the above with no problems and actually helped on one of my systems.

5. If your camcorder is S100 IEEE 1394 that is about 100 mbps which is more than enough. DV transfer is only about 30 mbps.

That's all I can think of right now.
