Transfer speed from DV cam to PCI am wondering how long does it take for a PC
to transfer a 10 min Video CLIP from a DVCAM to a PC assuming everything is operating as it is supposed to. I would think that it should not take 10 mins since its allready digital encoded nes pas ? Or does it read the digital information on the tape the same speed as it plays it for viewing on the dvcam.

(I did manage to burn out its monitor speaker when doing this! The video was of a folk band playing a loud piece, and I had the volume set to loudest position!) Ok thank you for helping me on this side of the atlantic.
I was hoping that it could read the digital information faster then the regular playback speed.

tape plays is the time it takes to capture. I have a TVR33 Sony DVD Camcorder and firewire connections on an AMD 2800 with a 7200 200gig Western digital hd and it takes the same amount of time.

This kind of video capture from a camcorder is always in real time. There is no shortcut. Bye.

If you mean digital video in general, just about every tape-based format transfers at the same speed it was recorded at, but disc-based formats (DVD) and solid-state formats (SD, etc.) can transfer faster than the speed at which they were recorded.  |
