Hello,
I have a Sony HDR-HC1. My PC is a little under-powered (2.5GHz P4, 1G
RAM), and this seems to be causing Premiere Pro 1.5.1 to struggle to
capture HDV from the camera. (It captures SD down-converted in-camera
just fine.) In fact, "struggle" is probably understating the
problem---essentially no usable footage is captured, it has various
artefacts throughout.
Interestingly, my humble PowerBook G4 (1G RAM) has no trouble (using
iMovie HD). What I've noticed, though, is that iMovie HD will capture
the footage in slower than real-time if required. Premiere Pro doesn't
seem to be trying this, though I'm not sure where or how iMovie HD is
buffering the data, or whether it's actually possible to slow down the
data rate from the camera.
Is there a PC-based solution for me here, short of an upgrade? For
example, is there a lighter-weight application with which I can do the
capture, and then edit with Premiere Pro later?
