Great tool, and better than the capture tool provided by Sony Vegas, in that HDVSplit can split the HDV clips and name them based on the date and time of shooting.
Another great feature is that HDVSplit can monitor the capture and announce whether any frames have been dropped, either in the transfer process or due to a dropout on the tape. One of the MAJOR issues with HDV is that a single glitch on a miniDV tape will just clobber your video (and audio) for 1/2 second, a catastrophe for important projects. Not only will HDVSplit let you know of such events on a tape, but you can also now "Prestripe" a tape in advance and then use it to do a test capture to ensure that it is dropout-free. I do this with all my tapes now, and even though it means extra work for me, I'm pretty much guaranteed a dropout-free tape. |
