indyz 1 #3 January 14, 2003 It is possible to convert QT to DV streams. So if you can get your WMV video to QT format, you're good. I think. There might be something useful buried here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get a video card that has TV out either by composite or s-video connection. If s-video get an adapter cable to convert to composite female plugs (3 off, 1 yellow video, 1 red and 1 white stereo sound). Plug the Sony 3 way composite lead (that should have come with your camera) into the composite female connectors on either the video card or the s-video adapter cable. Set the camera to VTR and press record, start playing the WMV in full screen (ensuring the video card options are set to mirror the display down the composite/s-video outlet). If in the combination of cables you end up using the shipped Sony scart adapter - don't - it only allows the signal out of the camera, not back in. Get a proper scart adapter from any decent AV store, Tandys or Radio Shack or something like that. Hope that helps.Rich M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #5 January 14, 2003 Thanks, folks. I think the answer is to burn the file to DVD and then copy back from the DVD during playback. I was looking for a shortcut (fricking Americans!) but I don't think there is an easy one. JP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #6 January 14, 2003 What format is the original file in? Also you have to have DVD software that will let you port out via firewire if you want to play and record directly to the camera. I'm not aware of any that let you link firewire to the DVD software, but I have'nt really looked hard. If you can't get the DVD software to go to the firewire port you are back to needing a Video card with either Svideo or TV out.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blair700 0 #7 January 15, 2003 Yo! I had the birdman clip saved on my desktop, I went into Adobe 6.5 and imported the file into a new project. I dragged the clip into the timeline, rendered the work area, and then plugged in my pc110 into the firewire card. I played the timeline while my camera was set in vtr mode, recording (had to do that manually) and seconds later I have the clip on a minidv tape. Hope this helps, now its a little easier to "show" folks I care about where my heart is..... Long delays and soft landings, Blair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #8 January 15, 2003 Blair, that works, but the video clip I need to transfer is about 45 minutes long, with audio and a music track. After about 5 minutes the transfer rates messes up and the video slows down and speeds up when I'm watching it in the timeline preview. Thank you, though. That is definitely the way to go with shorter clips. Why does it take so long to burn a DVD? Geez. Anyhow, what I'm doing is burning it to DVD, and then I'll record it off of the SuperVideo out connection off the DVD player into the PC120. The whole reason for the project is to bring the video into the hospital to show a freind in there who's recovering. I should have it done tonight. This day job sh*t has got to go.....
