I've just tried performing my first capture since upgrading from Aspect HD 3.4 to v4 from my Sony HDR-FX1E.
I will very soon be upgrading Premiere Pro 1.5.1 to v2 but for this problem that is not the issue as I haven't got as far as Premiere yet before the problems kick in.
So, using HD LInk v4 build 52 I try to cature form my FX1e. The results are absolutely terrible. I've captured over a dozen (small) clips and they are all the same. I view themn in Windows Media player 10.
There exists severe horizontal scratching across the top 1/3rd of the picture. And the rest of the picture looks like I've applied an old film 'add scratches' all over it. Also, the captures that I do get tend to freeze frame on playback after a random time as well.
Is HD Link v4 incompatible with the Sony FX1e? Am I missing something simple here.
I tried this capture tonight because a colleague says he got the self same thing from the same type of camera but from the v4 trial version.
This is a complete show-stopper for me. Is there a fix or how do I go about acquiring a re-fund?
For the record, version 3.3 and 3.4 were fine. I will be upgrading to Premiere Pro 2 within the week so v4 is a must for me. Oh and preferences set as follows...
Capture source lists only "Sony HDR-FX1E - Microsoft AV/C tape Subunit"
HD File Size - medium
Frame format - Interlaced.
rate Change - no change.
maintain Audio pitch - ticked.
split fiel ion scene changes - ticked.
edit: On further tests I've noticed that some of the playbacks of the AVI files in WMP 10 give an error as follows:
Window title - Cineform HD Decoder
message - The Cineform decoder encountered an error.
Don't know if this might help.
