captured m2t clips have extra frames at DVinfo.net

George Zabetas · July 21st, 2008, 11:48 AM

just noticed today that in Sony Vegas 7 a few of my captured clips are cut a few frames into the next clip. the m2t clip will have a split second of the following recorded clip.
anyone ever notice this?
thanks

PS this is a Canon XH A1 camera which is why i posted here.

I noticed this too when I first go my cam. I think it has to do with the fact that HDV uses a 15 frame GOP so in order for it to build the frames each frame it may need to carry over some extra frames.

easy to fix, but was perplexed as to why.

I've got the same issue with v8.0.... The explanation above seems to make since...

Must be a Vegas thing, I haven't seen that in FCP.

I get this when downconverting upon capture to Avid Xpress DV. I always sub-clip after capture and the last 3 frames from the previous sub-clip are always at the beginning of the next sub-clip. I always thought it as odd, but never worried about it.
