Capturing via FireWire gives you much higher quality than than using the USB capture, since it gives you the raw DV data off the tape, instead of converting it down to a low-res 320x240 video format like Sony's USB Streaming does. And if you think capturing DV video in Windows is difficult, try doing it in Linux! p.s. When the camcorder's image turned green, that's because it switched into NightShot mode.
It concerns me how similar your interests must be to mine considering I see you in the comments of almost every other video I watch. Unless you're stalking me, plz stop stalking :c
***** Well, they just updated the comment sections, I never had that problem before where it doesn't add the + tag but I guess it does now unless you specify it manually.
Why did I laugh so hard at 9:45 when he said "Even got the sound drivers installed and everything" and XP just beeped at him like "LOL NOPE", this was funny as fuck for some reason :'D
I have been doing computers for years and installed XP hundreds of times and don't think I have ever seen it crash on the blue part of setup like that.
Druaga I wish you uploaded more than once or twice a week becauase you are my all-time favorite TH-camr (Sorry Linus!) and you are hilarious to watch and make me smile alot :D
handbrake also has the decomb filter, which doesn't apply deinterlacing unless it needs to - which really helps preserve image quality. helped a ton when i was ripping my star trek dvds.
TheReduxPL Ripping especially, somtimes hangs on finding all the tracks and when it does, the video is scrambled no matter what I do. All PCs I have tried it on this happens.
CHRIS C Interestingly enough, on all my computers (3 PCs, 2 laptops) Handbrake works excellent. There might be something wrong with your source file or with your conversion settings. Hard to guess without any details.
dont think thats a power port, its already drawing power from the pci slot, adding a power there most likely will short it out. this looks like an audio out for older sound cards. might be wrong :)
m4nt1c0r3s It actually looks like the old floppy disk power cable. Actually it would be strange if it would be a power connector since PCI power should be more than enough for a card like this.
That is only required for devices which are powered via the FireWire port, such as external hard drives. Camcorders do not get their power from the FireWire port, so it's not required.
I recall editing a DV video imported via FireWire on a Windows 98 machine, back in early 2002... So, why you think XP won't be able to handle FireWire makes me curious...
It depends on the hardware. I tried to import video from my Sony DCR-TRV260 using Windows Movie Faker, Sony's Video Degrader software, and others, including WinDV, and all of them degrade the quality of the video. My gaming rig cannot detect the video camera in the PlayMemories software due to a bug of some kind. For me, I use my VCR to record the videos onto and record them onto a DVD later on.
It's been my experience that capturing video from Firewire is very easy to do on Windows (as long as the computer has a working Firewire interface of course). My old Canon camera is totally plug-n-play with everything from XP to 10 when using Firewire, and the ironic thing is that it actually didn't work at all in OSX.
The green thing is actually Sony's Nightshot turning on. I think it's pattented and only they have cameras that can record in IR. docs.sony.com/release/dcrtrv19.pdf here is the manual and you can see when reading the extra specs that the camera has the nighshot feature. It's a cool feature and it's what you see when people go ghost hunting in the night and everything is green
It sounds like you're an ffmpeg wizard. How would you go about recording your X session as huffyuv and pulse audio input as flac and then muxing them together into an MKV? I've mostly tried VLC's CLI commands, but I've had this problem where the recording would just stop randomly, and it doesn't have very good documentation. I've tried using ffmpeg as well, but the output would always have a lower frame rate, making the video look too fast.
9:16 - I really loved these cuts.. "What the hell happened?" 9:46 - Even got some sound drivers installed *system beep* Ah.. Shit.. 26:56 - I don't need to see anymore of this drive to know it's an IBM Deskstar.. Tough as nails, like wheel-bearings; they get louder with life, it's when they get quiet again you gotta worry. :P Firewire was where it was at then every-time I'd used it on a computer configured; it just worked. Granted I'd of probably gone through similar notions as you unless I'd had the hardware on hand like you did. (XP and video capture, firewire on XP, etc. I have the same reservations) What a battle though, 36:17 made it worth it, that's about as good as that little guy could do It'd seem. Not half bad, great for the time. Glad you got through it man! Good times as always.
good idea with this drive! also congrats you managed to install a pci firewire USB 2 card, I always only managed to get either a firewire card or a usb 2.0 card to run properly! I used a Sony camcorder and windows XP Pro for personal video productions till 2010 and capturing Digital 8 tapes with the plain program Windows Movie Maker was the most comfortable way for me: Choose the file type (DV / AV / mpeg2), choose auto scene on/off and control the camcorder with your mouse -it worked with both 4:3 and 16:9 material. with other programs the ratio was wrong most at the time, obviously for video editing I recommend other editors like from pinnacle...
I remember when I first heard of DV Camcorders back in 2000 when I was using Windows ME. I think more support for DV cameras was a new feature of Windows ME.
DV Cameras record in 720 x 480 for NTSC and for PAL its 720 x 576. DV Video bit rates tend to range from 25mbps to 30mbps. Also, I'm using Sony Video Capture to capture all my DV footage...since my Panasonic DVX100B is my primary camera. I have an older Windows 7 machine and use a Texas Instruments firewire card and works like a charm.
Hey Druaga, im pretty sure somebody already figured this out but, when you had that red firewire card in the computer you forgot to plug in the floppy power for the card to work. And that's why it wouldn't show up in device manager.
VLC allows you to capture video and audio for free. I find it funny I can sit and watch a 40 minute Drauga1 video, but when it comes to a long Markiplier video, I can manage about 10 before getting bored.
windows movie maker (in XP) has a built int tool to "capture dv" to a drive then you just cancel before it imports them and will leave you with the DV files. The newest adobe still works with DV AVI footage. (though dont forget to set the field blending in the time line) **thats the same camera I use to use..
@Druaga1, you missed one crucial little thing with that Pinnacle firewire card....seeing as the card has a floppy drive power plug and the card doesn't do a single thing whatsoever with that being unplugged, maybe the card just won't do jack shit without it.
My laptop has a mini firewire port and windows 10 has a tool that will detect your camera and allows you to capture all the footage off of the tape with no dropped frames. Sure the video file will be large (The ones i captured totaled 10 gigs in size + or -) but it worked for what i needed to do
I bought a FireWire card specifically for this lol, still works on Windows 10 and I use Vegas Pro (Movie Studio is the same) to capture DV Tapes onto the PC, no third party software required as Vegas has in built software to capture DV and HDV footage through FireWire
Could you try to export the episode in 1080p or so anyway? I know that's a higher resolution than it was originally, but TH-cam encodes 1080p at a much higher bit rate than 480p, so it will look absolutely awesome for an almost ten year old video!
I read on a security blog that the work-around for the QuickTime problem is to do a custom install of QuickTime, un-check anything that installs QuickTime Player, and only install the QuickTime Framework. The Framework will allow your computer to read anything in apple format, and there are no associated vulnerabilities, since the vulnerabilities lie with the Player, not the Framework.
On your first firewire card, I noticed there was a power port for the power supply. I don't think you plugged it in, so that's why it wasn't detected in Windows.
Hey Druaga, is that KingDian SSD any good? I'm tempted to get one to add to my old laptop, so I can have fun dual-booting without pesky disk partitions and destroying your Windows MBR and all that.
Depending on what you’re dualbooting, you shouldn’t need to mess around with partitions manually. Most Ubuntu based distros at least offer an automatic dualbooting mode (it’s called something else), where it will resize all the partitions for you.
So.. .dv files and .avi files captured as you did actually contain the exact same video bits. You can take a .dv file and trivially convert it to a .avi file without any recompression. I'm not sure what the best tool is on Windows; on a Mac I'd use QuickTime Pro and export as AVI. On Linux I'd probably use ffmpeg.
Capturing via FireWire gives you much higher quality than than using the USB capture, since it gives you the raw DV data off the tape, instead of converting it down to a low-res 320x240 video format like Sony's USB Streaming does.

lol that fingersnap-editing was glorious
Indeed it was
I agree
+degru5091 I agree
incredible transition, yes.
That isn't edited. Druaga1 is that good.
It wouldn't be an episode of Druaga without the setup crashing straight away. BTW Druaga that editing is on point, it is so glorious.
he is like electroboom of computers!!!
+Darcy Ferrier , your face is dissapointed linus , im gonna scream
and i thought i was stupid...
Lol

FUCKING LOL

ProtoMario omg reallll
OMG YOU'VE BEEN UPLOADING FOR 10 YEARS!?!?! YOU'RE AN ACTUAL LEGEND!
Why did I laugh so hard at 9:45 when he said "Even got the sound drivers installed and everything" and XP just beeped at him like "LOL NOPE", this was funny as fuck for some reason :'D
Install XP on your video camera
Put an ssd in the camera and then install XP.
install camera on xp
put a ssd in a ssd
SSD CEPTION!
TRIGGERING INTENSIFIES DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN
Install a camera into a ssd, install a ssd into the camera, install XP on the ssd, and make virtual ssd and install vista with camera and ssd support
4:44 That 10-second silence of absolute disbelief.
"Let's use the 'Send To...' button."
"Don't breathe this!"
but will it blend?
"We even got some sound drivers installed!" *clicks volume slider* motherboard beeps.... "oh shit". XD that cracked me up good one Druaga1
What about the follow up on the iPod?
YEAH!!! We need it! GOGOGO druaga1!!!!
We're rushing you and we will be rushing you if you don't upload!
I have never, in my life, seen Windows XP bluescreen so early, I didn't even think it could even bluescreen during early setup! That's nuts!
"I'll just save it on the desktop because I don't know where else to put it."
What about in My Videos?
RIP
wtf you got a blue screen so quickly how the hell
This is a Druaga video, what can you expect more?
Yes it's druaga so everywthing crashes, but this was missing sata drivers
He didn't have the SATA POWER CONNECTOR plugged in.
ohh ok
I didn't even know you could even get a BSoD in the setup
"I don't wanna install quick time because it's a security flaw." *Installs Windows XP instead*
You needed the power for the FireWire card...
I have been doing computers for years and installed XP hundreds of times and don't think I have ever seen it crash on the blue part of setup like that.
Just made the 600 like's Milestone!
Always a new chalenge...
Love your videos!
Druaga I wish you uploaded more than once or twice a week becauase you are my all-time favorite TH-camr (Sorry Linus!) and you are hilarious to watch and make me smile alot :D
handbrake also has the decomb filter, which doesn't apply deinterlacing unless it needs to - which really helps preserve image quality. helped a ton when i was ripping my star trek dvds.
You didn't try using Handbrake?
Handbrake is a great converter! XMedia Recode is worth giving a shot too.
+TheReduxPL Handbrake has never worked for me. I don't understand why, but it just doesn't.
CHRIS C Doesn't work? What happens?

i dont
I do not get it too. someone explain please
Maybe porn lol...? I don't know, I'm innocent :v
He's high. Smoking pot gives people "the munchies," they feel hungry.
hes means websites that say like YOU WON 10,000,000 dollars!!!
6:22 Wait.. 5120MB OK...?? Is that RAM size?
Now, I dare you to upload the speaker video please.
Even if it's inside the video, i don't care because I want to watch it alone. :D
Lubuntu didn't lock up! It just takes a while to start it up. Have patience! More than you'd usually have! :)
Every Druaga1 video ever:
Everything goes wrong.
What did you expect? And I actually like that.
When the annotation saying "Ear rape in 10 seconds" popped up I said to myself...."I'm ready..."
Oh how I hate mobile youtube so much.
Use Firefox and play this on the mobile TH-cam site, it actually shows annotations in the player.
One L I'm on mobile so my phone is going farther from my face now
Only 2016 and earlier TH-cam people will understand
i miss annotations :(
Ylu didn't plug power to the FireWire card.

Actually it would be strange if it would be a power connector since PCI power should be more than enough for a card like this.
Well, this kind of cards can be sensitive to bad power forms, so they often use external power, like my old SoundBlaster PCI sound card
That is only required for devices which are powered via the FireWire port, such as external hard drives. Camcorders do not get their power from the FireWire port, so it's not required.

why not just use handbrake and convert the files into mp4
Yeah, +1 for open source software.
We wouldn't get a video otherwise?
Because that's too easy. We never do things easy on this channel.
you're right lol

How did he get to 50k? I must have blinked or something...
I remember when I first heard of DV Camcorders back in 2000 when I was using Windows ME. I think more support for DV cameras was a new feature of Windows ME.
You can use VLC to convert the codecs, You can load it into its convert menu, then select what codec you want. I would recommend H.264 codec!

Where can I watch ken's videos
fefeman look for the computer Clan Channel
If you have Windows Live Photo Gallery, it can capture the DV stream in AVI format in Windows 10. Files are huge, but they can be transcoded.
Hey, Druaga the first firewire card doesn't work because it hasn't been connected to the floppy power.
yo drauga can you teach me how to snap to speed up time like that pls
lel
Hey Druaga, im pretty sure somebody already figured this out but, when you had that red firewire card in the computer you forgot to plug in the floppy power for the card to work. And that's why it wouldn't show up in device manager.
those were some pretty good cuts
For some reason Windows won't detect any of my DV cams neither on XP and 2 different Firewire cards...
Another good episode bro! keep up the good work.
YES Another video!

8:38 An error with blank buttons.
Yup, totally makes sense. xD
Also in Movie Studio Platinum the reason you saw Combing in the preview is because the project settings are set to 29.97i
windows movie maker (in XP) has a built int tool to "capture dv" to a drive then you just cancel before it imports them and will leave you with the DV files. The newest adobe still works with DV AVI footage. (though dont forget to set the field blending in the time line)
**thats the same camera I use to use..
Can't you capture with OBS?
that's what I was thinking, you'd need the camera driver to work on an OS with dx10
You can, but OBS has never supported the last directx released for Windows XP so it's never been supported.
I were watching one of ur other vids when I got notified! 😀
i love how all ur vids are almost an hour long
@Druaga1, you missed one crucial little thing with that Pinnacle firewire card....seeing as the card has a floppy drive power plug and the card doesn't do a single thing whatsoever with that being unplugged, maybe the card just won't do jack shit without it.
41:38 is that a will it blend reference???
love the editing in this one!

that kinda brings back memories though when i was in school we used Pinnacle studio i think it was version 8 or 9 back then
On your first firewire card, I noticed there was a power port for the power supply. I don't think you plugged it in, so that's why it wasn't detected in Windows.
all that was missing from the iPod video was an adapter for the pins, will you ever do a follow-up?
YAY NEW VIDEO. LIFE IS COMPLETE
what is that firewire card called, i have the same one on my desk and been trying to find out what model it is...
thanks dude
Go to project settings in movie studio and change it to progressive so you get rid of interlacing.
error while initiating fusion; druaga1 ran out of uranium.
i liked all video i really enjoy watching u keep it up bro :)
how did you forget the power for the first FireWire card
This is some kind of computer porn. I can feel your success of you doing computer things.
the reason its green isn't the light sensor you may have night shot on that's a common mistake you can make by hitting the switch
Love your videos smoker! Keep it up
Wouldn't checking the box next to the capture button give a recording preview?
Hey Druaga, is that KingDian SSD any good? I'm tempted to get one to add to my old laptop, so I can have fun dual-booting without pesky disk partitions and destroying your Windows MBR and all that.

I love my JBL speaker. I opened it up and ran ext. speaker hookups for better stereo.
why didn't you just convert the old DV file to MP4(or AVI) again?
Why was there an win 10 Volume bar at 13:10-13:13
Sorry 18:10-13
it's probably a feature of the new amcap
yea ok
Can you help me? I want to the date me shown while capturing from DV is it possible? That brings back only the good memories
Wooo! Ian's Computer Show!!
So.. .dv files and .avi files captured as you did actually contain the exact same video bits. You can take a .dv file and trivially convert it to a .avi file without any recompression. I'm not sure what the best tool is on Windows; on a Mac I'd use QuickTime Pro and export as AVI. On Linux I'd probably use ffmpeg.
I think that first firewire 400 card didn't work cause you didn't supply external power. That's why it didn't show up?
Can you give a link to the old version of amcap?
All hail to the Orangelink Firewire Card.
