Re: Dropped Frames

Thanks for more info guys. I got it to work now. I was able to transfer a 2 hour Hi8 w/o any dropped frames. The only thing I did differently this time around was using a 3rd Firewire cable (3rd time's a charm). I don't have a digital 8 deck/cam or miniDV. But I am using a DV converter that's made for this kind of stuff. I couldn't say which is better....going pass-thru a Digital deck/cam, or using my DV converter. But it seems great to me. One other thing I did was.....after I captured the video/audio to AVI. I then rewound the tape, and ran just the audio through my Sony DAT deck w/ SBM on > s/pdif > Sound Forge. The cam audio came out much better after running it separetly through the DAT. That Super Bit Mapping function can work wonders, imo.

So ya, seems to be working for me now, thanks for all the help/tips.
