It's A Digital Disease!

Hi All,

I have some DVCPRO HD tapes I need to capture and I want to preserve them properly.

I don't want to use SDI out to transfer them to ProRes or anything like that, I want to capture them natively using firewire, however, I can't seem to find any software that supports DVCPRO HD.

FCP can capture it, but good luck getting it to work in anything that resembles reliable. Sometimes, you start the capture and it appears to be capturing, but once the tape ends, the footage was never captured. Or FCP crashes.

DVRescue works, kind of, with DVCPRO25 but not with DVCPRO HD.

Premiere doesn't even want to acknowledge the decks at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Open source or otherwise?

Thanks in advance.
