I need to have the following:</p> <p>1. NLE capture Program (I have Adobe Premiere Pro CS3)</p> <p>2. A Capture Card (Canopus 300)</p> <p>3. A DVCPRO Deck with Firewire connection.</p> <p>Am I missing anything? Thanks again!</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-digitize-a-dccpro-tape#post-35759 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 10:36:26 +0000 Johnboy 35759@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>if you need to bring in an analog source, you need a convertor.  I recommend canopus.  At a minimum you'll need the 110, the 300 is nice with a built in time base corrector.  If you have a dvcpro deck with firewire, just simply plug it into your computer's firewire port start your nle capture program and save the tape to your computer for editing.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-do-i-digitize-a-dccpro-tape#post-35753 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 21:23:08 +0000 GodsGirl 35753@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I volunteer for a non-profit organization. We had a production company create a video for us. They sent us all the raw footage on tapes (DVCPRO AJ-P126L) and a DVD with the Final Master Video on it in .VOB format.</p> <p> Long story short, our rights to a song on the video will expire soon. Since I can not cut out the music on the VOB file, I need to get the tape footage onto the computer and rebuild the Video. I have a high end computer that I built myself. I'm a computer nerd thats why they asked me to help with this project. lol - I've never done any *real* video editing before, just playing around with home videos from a DVD Cam.</p> <p>My question: What do I need to purchase to read/encode/decode these tapes onto my computer. I've looked into purchasing a deck but I'm not sure exactly what I need. Since this will be something we plan on continuing (creating our own videos) I don't mind purchasing the equipment. I just need some direction. Thanks for your help.</p> <p>Â -GG</p>
