Hello, I'm having problems recapturing from 15:1 to 25:1. When I do it the capture is off by a slight margin. The timecode should not be a problem because I redubbed all my tapes and made fresh time code before I started editing. Is there any way to correct this problem? I've been told by some people that I may have to fix everything manually. This would be just dreadful as it would be almost akin to editing it all over again. I'm hoping there is some trick to fixing this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

thanks for the detailed reply Phil. that was very helpful.

thanks Michael. I just have a couple of follow up questions. do most small consumer cameras have dv input? which cable connects the two cameras? is dubbing a fairly simple exercise or do I need to look into it more? you also mentioned that the timecode will change if I dump it onto a hard drive. won't it change if I do it the other way? the reason I am dubbing it is because I have broken timecode and I'm under the impression that dubbing will give a fresh timecode. a lot of questions, I know. thanks again.

Hello, I need to dub some mini dv tapes onto other mini dv tapes. How do you do this? And what equipment would be required? any help is much appreciated. thanks.
