Hi,
I am in the market for a Digital Camcorder, but don't want to spend a fortune. A friend of mine has a Sony Digital 8 camcorder. I have been able to tinker a bit with it using the Pinnacle software that came with his Firewire card he purchased with the camera. Pinnacle Studio DV would crash when it came to areas in the tape where the camera was stopped and started. Pinnacle support said that people using the Digital 8 format should overlap scenes by 1 or 2 seconds as the "lapse in timecode" supposedly generated when starting and stopping caused problems when capturing to Studio DV. Of course, this would be very annoying and not worth while!
My question to the forum is: Does anyone in the forum use Digital 8 with Vegas Video 3.0(a) with good results? Are you satisfied with the quality? Has anyone heard of or experienced the above problem? Thanks in advance!
