The problem I have with this is the audio/video sync. I recorded a 30-minute video (in one HUGE file - I'm on NTFS), and, by the very end, the audio was approximately 1/30th of a second ahead of the video.

Yes, it definitely is! All it needs is an image capture feature and it's on it's way to glory and fame in the Third Party world! Someone should seriously do that. :)

This is the #1 way to bring your DV media into your computer for conversion or editing! This program is unreal! I've tried tons of different packages and this thing is the only one that does this simple task as easy as can be. I only recommend you cap to TypeII Avi's so you can bring 'em in to VDub no prob. Also make sure you have lots of drive space, I get a 13gb file from a full DV tape (1 hour).

This program should have an image capture feature. Would be perfect for me, then.

I would just like to add the fact that I have coped with the freezing of the captured video in Media Player Classic and gone straight to the editing of frames in VirtualDub and frameserving into TMPGEnc Plus. I simply cannot believe that I have a mere 98 kb program that uploads DV video as opposed to Ulead VideoStudio 7 which installs as a nearly 60 MB program. All I was using it for was the uploading feature. 60 MB...98 kb...HUGE difference. Awesome program!

The only problem I have with this program is that when I try to playback the captured video with Media Player Classic, the player freezes and the menus turn white and say "Not Responding". If anyone knows how to fix this, e-mail me at jwg_ns18@hotmail.com

I have been trying to find a simple program to capture the analog pass-through dv signal from my Sony dv camcorder. Most of other programs either can not see the dv signal or trying to capture from the tape (including the Sony program came with the camcorder!!) . Once you hit the capture button, they started to move the tape and preview screen turned blank. The lack of control in this program is exactly why this program can capture the analog pass-through. It just capture the dv signal disregarding the source. Great program!!

Does exactly what it says it will do and for the most part easy to use. The best part is that it's true freeware. To record one large video file (instead of creating a new one for every scene) set the "Discontinuity threshold" to 0 (zero) seconds. This was the only part that was difficult to figure out. Records both Type I DV and Type II DV. Works great!

It's a wonderful software for DV capture. I used the Studio7 from Pinnacle Systems but I couldn't capture over 17", now it's possible.Whith Premiere there are always some dropped frames. Conclusion: WinDv it's a easy and light software, and I think that is a good lesson to the "importants" softwares like Studio from Pinnacle and Premiere from Adobe. AM

Here's a note I sent to Petr Mourek the WinDV creator.... I just wanted to take a moment to send you a huge thank you for this utility!!!! It is wonderful! I have been working on editing a two-hour long, two camera shoot of some children's choirs. With this length of video and the resulting file sizes, I was getting 2 to 8 dropped frames per file using either Premiere or Vegas to capture. Droped frames are a big problem with maintaining sync between the two shots for this long a project. With WinDV, I had no dropped frames, period! Also the continuous capture feature is incredible for this long-format capture. Since there are no dropped frames, once I sync up the first two files on the timeline in Premiere, keeping the following files is sync is simply a matter of dropping them into the timeline. Have you thought about approaching Adobe, Ulead, Sonic Foundry, Canopus etc. about buying this utility and incorporating it into their products? The only thing it needs is machine control. Thanks again for your work on this great tool!
