Wonderful simple software to capture HDV in its native quality. iMovie and Vegas do not come close to how easy this is to use.
Works with Windows 10 64-bit and the Sony HVR-A1U.
Though, I did find that it wasn't able to detect the splitting of scenes in some cases. Sometimes the split tab would help with this, sometimes it wouldn't. Along with that, there were random frame drops. Sometimes a scene would capture without drops, sometimes recapturing it would cause a bunch of dropouts. Seems to be completely random in my case.
It's a shame this application was not open sourced. I would love to see updates to solve the frame dropout.
I'm unsure if using an earlier 32-bit OS (and CPU) would improve these issues as the software was written around then.
The ReadMe included has not been updated in about a year from version 0.75 to the current 0.77 (Static) Beta.
