Minion,
You were right Pinnacle does not give a choice for selecting the codec. For that matter even WinDV does not have a codec option.

But I captured using both the programs and i doscovered that 10 mins of capture was around 2.3GB, which means that in one hour it would take around 13-14GB.

That means the signal while being captured has been hardware compressed by the camera into DV AVI.

Does that mean I cannot get an uncompressed AVI signal using a Sony Digital Cam playing my 8mm tapes?

How does one get an uncompressed AVI signal which takes 30GB per hour of disk space?

Hi guys,

I'm just trying to figure out how to select the analog composite video port. Somehow I dont see it listed, while trying to select - I see only the digital IEEE port! This is hoping to capture from VHS. I have a Sony P4, and the ports are recognized with software like "Click to DVD". I tdoesn't show an option to select any analog ports - please HELP!

Thanx,
George

saurabh: Yes your Camcorder Compresses the Signal to DV AVI format and Transfers it to your PC Via firewire...
You could Possibly capture to Uncompressed AVI but there would not be any Quality Gains and the Files would Be Huge this is Because the Signal is Allready compressed when it gets transfered to your PC were with Analogue Capture devices the Signal is Raw Uncompressed Video when it hits your PC...

So you are better off Just captureing In DV AVI format, and with DV AVI you can render it many times without any Noticeable Quality Loss....

Cheers

I upgraded to S9 because it was compatible with PCTVusb2, which it is but OMG...rendering is horrible!
The bulk of my work consists of simple edits with no transitions, titles, or special effects. Studio7/8 was great for this work with virtually no render time. But now, in Studio 9 the same tasks take forever to render!!. Tech support says this is because S9 is a much more "robust" program. I think I'll scrap S9 and go back to S7/8 unless I absolutely need the features of S9
