Hello
I recently taped an outdoor concert that was about an hour and thirty minutes. I ran the DVX through most of the concert with zero timecode breaks on two Panasonic MQ 63 minute tapes.
When capturing the second tape, the last 15 minutes of it came out in 100s of avis at about 1.83MB, 3.63MB, 3.75MB and each. I capture with a Panasonic PV DV-53 camera.
If I play this portion of the tape on either the DVX or the deck, it stutters both the video and audio every second. Just now I did some test footage w/music on this tape (directly after the concert footage, same mic setup, etc) and also with a different tape. Both pieces of footage came out perfectly, so I'm ruling a bum tape out of the equation along with any problems associated with Vegas capture.
My first thought was the DVX was overheating. FYI - it was about 85 and pretty humid outside when I was recording. I recorded the same band a week before with breaks in similar weather (maybe a little less humid).
My second thought was that it was possibly malfunctioning and capturing a second or .5 of a second at a time as though I had the recording time assigned to this amount of time. But if I drop all the files into a Vegas timeline, they do not "fit" and there's a glitch in audio and video and the beginning and end of each.
edit: I just checked the length of the small clips in Vegas and the majority are exactly 00:00:00;28 each. The 5MB ones are at 00:00:01;15
Anyone ever have this problem? It worries me.
