This may be a question with many answers but here goes:
I have a client that likes to get DVD window dubs of raw customer interview footage for (a) transcription and (b) selecting the pieces we'll use when editing. He simply gives me an edit list with the time code in's and out's. I've taken my tapes to an edit/dupe house for window dubs in the past, but it's expensive and inconvenient.
I have a Sony HVR-V1U camera that will only output viewfinder data via the composite (low rez) video connector. I can burn DVDs from this, but they look crummy and I can't use the iLink functionality of the camera and the DVD burner (one touch record is a nice feature).
So I have Vegas Movie Studio 8 Platinum, and I'm wondering if there's a way to pull TC information from the imported video, place it on screen, and output a file to make into a DVD. Is this possible? Is it a colossal waste of hard drive space? Please share your thoughts and recommendations - thanks!
