March 15th, 2005 DV Problem

I’ve been making video for the Transcribed Night Concert.
1.5 hours concert needs a whole day editing.
Capturing video from DV to computer hard-disk is a slow process.
I wonder why this foolish way of “capturing” is commonly used in all DV equipments.
Why no one invent hard-disk recording for digital video?
With hard-disk recording, then everything can transfer into computer very easily,
rather than “capturing” from a DV tape.
Of course DV tape has its advantage: it is portable, and can be replaced with blank disk once it is full.
However, one hour of DV tape needs one hour to capture, that is simply foolish,
and there is loss in quality during the process of “capturing”.

Finally I produced a DVD successfully!!
This is the first time I create DVD from my own videos.
But I’m stupid that I did not to connect a better microphone to the DV in the concert.
The visual quality is acceptable ( at least better than VCD),
but the sound quality is poor (poorer than most VCD).

One problem I faced was importing audio in Adobe Premiere.
I initially intended to import my better sound recording from MDs,
which I already changed to .WAV files.
The WAV files sounds excellent in windows media player,
but once it is imported in Adobe Premiere, it has a high hissing sound.
That is totally annoying.
I wonder whether it is problem of Premiere, my sound card, or anything else…
Do you know any solution? (Yes, you, who are reading this article)
Thanks very much!
