24pa settings - not captured from dvx100

Hello,

I'm capturing 24pa footage in Vegas 6.0, but I'm using a DV deck not the DVX100. Will Vegas identify my footage as 24pa?

Also, this is a stupid question, but what are the correct project settings for editing at 24 fps using the 24pa footage?

Thanks,
Hilbert
 
You have nothing to worry about, it'll work just fine. The only setting you need to do is to choose either the "NTSC DV 24P" preset (for 4:3) or the "NTSC DV Widescreen" preset (for 16:9).
 
Yep, the program is looking at the footage that's being imported, not where it's coming from. I pop my tapes into a cheap little consumer miniDV camera I bought at Best Buy, for capture. A TON cheaper than a deck, and gives me something light & handy to take on trips if I don't want to lug around the DVX & gear.
 
you mean I can use a cheap little consumer miniDV camera for capture ? good quality?
 
Yes, and it will have no effect on the quality, you'll get 100% pure digital transfer, exactly as the DVX recorded it.
 
Yep. I'm guessing if you got some absolute crap miniDV, it may have poor heads, etc. so that could perhaps effect the quality/transfer, but otherwise any of the $300+ models would do great.

Besides, if you're going to get one, get a descent one that you can use for other purposes as well (recording family events, etc. that you don't want to lug the DVX around for, etc.). The little JVC job I got is actually a pretty cool little camera that I've gotten wet with salt water on more than one occasion & keeps on ticking! Even has a nifty 25x optical zoom, though it'll never replace the shots the DVX can get.
 
I have one and I just used for rewinding the tape. one time I put my dvx tape on it and watch it on tv ,to me was kind of pore quality , I try it again .

Perhaps your heads were dirty. To compare, play it back to your TV from both the miniDV consumer camera & the DVX.
