idrankwhat 0 #1 August 20, 2006 Anyone out there editing with Sony Vegas and exporting to a VHS/DVD combo unit? If so, talk to me.....please. I just wasted a beautiful day NOT jumping and screwing with this crap instead. Anyone doing this sort of transfer successfully? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #2 August 20, 2006 Yup. If you want to PM me with details, happy to help, or happy to help here. Hopefully you're using a 1349 card output to a converter, feeding the VHS/DVD deck with the converted D to A signal? Using the Tools/Print timeline to Videotape option?

I'm not using a seperate card to convert. It's just fire wire out from the capture card to the DV input on the front of the DVD/VHS combo unit. I assumed that since I can plug my camera directly into the unit via that input that the converter was interanal and that I could do the same with the computer. Just out of curiousity, are you using Win2K or XP? I'm using Win2k, don't know if that makes a difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #4 August 21, 2006 I'm using XP, I do know that W2K has firewire issues, but I don't think this is the problem. Can you specify what's giving you grief specifically? It may be that your deck doesn't offer dig to MPEG encoding via firewire as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may be that your deck doesn't offer dig to MPEG encoding via firewire as well. I'm using Win2k and Sony Vegas to capture and edit the video from my mini-DV. Capture via fire wire is fine, editing is fine but then I want to export the video to a Lite-On DVD/VHS combo unit via the firewire input on the front. I can export it to my camera with no problem but the program just doesn't seem to recognize the video unit, even though Windows does. All of the transport options are greyed out on the Vegas menu. If I pull the fire wire out of the lite-on unit and plug it into my camera then the menu clears and I can play/record to my camera. It just seems like the program doesn't recognize the unit as being something it can transport to. Unfortunately the computer is down at the moment and I can't give you more specific details. I'm not sure if this will make a difference but I'm considering putting XP pro on this computer. I need to wipe the drive and do a reinstall anyway because I want to dedicate this computer to editing and I want to get clear out all of the crap I don't need. I guess the best thing for me to do would be to do the reinstall with the newest drivers I can find and then try again and re-post my problems more specifically. Lite-on says that it shouldn't be a problem and Windows supposedly recognizes that there's something there so maybe it's a Vegas issue. I don't know. I'll come back to the forum with a report either way it goes. Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #6 August 21, 2006 It may be that the LiteOn unit doesn't ascribe to the OHCI license, and therefore W2K won't see it. What I'd recommend in the mean time, is to: Plug in cam as firewire device. use analog cables from cam to LiteOn's analog inputs I'm assuming your cam offers pass-thru, most do. WinXP may or may not resolve the issue, but it does have DVHS drivers that don't require OHCI compatibility like W2K does. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, how do you get a "B" license with only one jump? Thanks again, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll like XP, methinks. Win2K was great for what it was, but there was a reason MS grew it into XP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
