1. Re: artifacts/relics when HDV capturing, please help! google can't save me...

capture to a internal disk which is 7200.
You might want to check the settings of the camera. (looks like a F22 picture)

dannypicmsg Aug 7, 2011 1:35 AM (in response to Ann Bens)Thanks for your quick response, I really appreciate it.
I've ordered up a head cleaning tape and will give that a shot. I am capturing to an internal disk which is at 7200 (which, btw, i have an eSATA external drive... in your opinion would it be beneficial to move footage to the external drive to take some resources away from my single main hard drive?).
I will look into your final comment, but I'm pretty new to this, could you give me any info on the F22 picture you were speaking of? I certainly appreciate any help and/or advice, and will follow up on the results of the simple clean once I have that done.
Thanks again,
Danny

The sharpest picture is between f/4 and f/5.6.

dannypicmsg Aug 21, 2011 1:03 PM (in response to Ann Bens)Hi Ann,
I ordered a cleaning "tape" for the XLH1A, however it did not improve the capturing. The video plays clean on the monitor on the camera, and if I capture it thru Final Cut Pro on my buddy's mac I can get a clean capture... but I much prefer both Premiere and PC... any other thoughts on diagnosing this problem? I sincerely appreciate your help.Danny -

Ann Bens Aug 21, 2011 1:53 PM (in response to dannypicmsg)You might want to check this out: maybe you will find something that applies to your pc.
the camera is ok otherwise you could not capture a clean picture in FCP
