Hello,

I am new to this forum (and video editing as well) and I need some help with a video capture/playback problem. I am filming with a Sony DCR-HC52 and editing with Pinnacle 12.

The tape I captured today was filmed with my old Panasonic Mini DV camera (can't recall the model) and after capturing it in Pinnacle the playback video goes black every 1/2 second.

The video I capture from my Sony doesn't do this... can anyone recommend any solutions or advice???

Thanks in advance,

Hi how does it play from the camera into a TV using the AV out socket, or have you got access to something like a Pioneer DVD recorder with "DV in" it might show you if you have a compatibility problem with the tape.
