I didn't like that there is no list view in windows explorer and internet explorer really complains when it's security settings aren't enabled. I liked the analog clock widget and the thumbnails when mousing over the startbar. I think as things get fleshed out it will be a worthy upgrade. Resource hog? A new Microsoft product? Nah. JJ |

Ewww...
Why would I want to hide stuff? That's one of the problems with xp. It takes the powerful nt operating system and dumbs it down so grandmothers can use it. Show hidden and system files; check. Hide extensions for known file types; uncheck. Hehehe... And when I was refering to ie not liking the security stuff disabled I was actually talking about ie and not vista. IE pops the little warning dialog down on every webpage when you have stuff turned off. Since this thread has gone off on a tangent, let me bring it back to plumb... Are there any simple (free even) programs to just capture over firewire and save as uncompressed avi? I know Serious Magic's DvRack will and it works with 2k. Are there other options? JJ |

Do you need to do it in one step - i.e., the uncompressed AVI is written at the time of capture? Or can you accept capturing to DV AVI then uncompressed afterward? For the later, there's a myriad of things. For the former, Microsoft has a great little widget called GraphEdit - supposedly for DirectShow application developers. With it, you can do almost anything as long as the filters exist on your computer. Officially, it is only available with the Platform SDK but a Google will doubtless come up with unofficial sources of it. Mind if I ask why you want uncompressed? John. |

My bad...
I forgot that dv is still compressed, just not to the point of mpeg2/4. I just want a standard dv .avi file. JJ |

Windows Movie Maker will - it's free but you'd have to succumb to XP!
Google for "DVApp" - another Microsoft freebie that is supposed to only be available with the Platform SDK but has been "put out there". Can't recall if the latest version works with Win2K or not. MS improved the DV device handling in XP and some apps compiled expressly for XP or higher may not work on Win2K. WinDV - never tried it but it's free. For XP, our very own DV Processor - beta at the moment. Also, do you know if you need Type-1 or Type-2 DV AVI files? i.e., what do you intend to do with the AVI files? Depending on any other software you decide to use with them, you may have limitations. |

I'm not sure. In the past, I have edited in Avid Xpress so I was aiming for just recording to hard drive in omf. Since I'm using wink2 I think I'll be stuck with either Premiere 6.5 or Vegas 6 (I'm playing with Vegas currently). JJ |

Oh, and I found that VASST has a free 2-cam plugin, for Vegas, called DoubleTake. I haven't used it, yet, but if you only need 2 cams then it would probably be good enough.

If you get DVApp, you can capture to either and test the captured files that way. Also, if you have Premiere 6.5, it will capture for you - is there a problem doing it that way? When you say 'omf' - are you after files that are the raw DV instead of wrapped in an AVI file. If so, (it pains me to suggest, but...), Quicktime ("Pro" version) can create .DV files - the raw deal. Not sure if it can do it from AVI or not, though. Definitely from MOV). Kinda confused as to what your end objective is here... |

DvApp:
free works with win2k uses ~25% cpu uses ~12mb ram plays audio while capturing displays timecode from the camera has camera controls WinDv: free works with win2k uses ~12% cpu uses ~20mb ram splits files automatically with break in timecode AmCap: not free (demo stops after 3 1/2 minutes or 3 stills) works with win2k uses ~25% cpu uses ~15mb ram based on DvApp ability for direct mpeg/wmv compression vmr9 preview instead of overlay still capture |

Basically, it's nice to use whatever format your nle wants to use. Since I haven't decided what I want to use with 2k, yet, I'm not sure what format I want. JJ |

Re .omf, what you'd like to do is capture to .omf but not via Avid? |
