Is there software (free?) that will allow me to create a version of my
recording which plays back at double speed? I want to maintain DV quality in
a clip that I can then pull into an editor to make a movie in the normal
fashion.

Can't you do all that on the timeline from within the NLE ?.....

In Premiere you can capture in time-lap mode that would give the effect of
speeding up the film. we have just captured a 10 hour shoot in to 30 mins
you may need to shoot in frame mode though to stop interlace problems.
However most edit programs will allow some sort of change to the clip in the
time domain.

I'll look into the shooting modes that the camera offers (if any). I had
been messing about with TV captures using VirtualDub, and that seems a good
program, at least for getting started with, but I found out tonight that it
can't read my DV files - it's looking for a decoder that I don't have, even
though Media Player can play the DV AVI files just fine. (I don't know if
VirtualDub can do what I want, but it does has stuff about removing frames.)

Premier's one of those pricey things, isn't it? Is there a 'lite' version?

Most video editors will allow you to playback DV quality footage at twice
the speed. You need to have filmed the raw footage in "frame" mode on your
camera, though.

If you haven't done this, you will need to deinterlace and render out as an
intermediate DV AVI first. Then bring THAT file in and speed it up.

If your target playback device is a progressive TV setup or computer VDU,
and you haven't shot the footage in frame mode, you're up the proverbial
creek. It will look rough whatever you do to it.

I've been looking for something like this for ages. Just had a quick play
and the output is excellent. Does a better job than studio 9+

That seems to work quite well.

Thanks for the pointers, folks.
