Gentlemen,

Who knows how can we get the file names showing the date and time of the
footage using Vegas Studio? The pretty "simple" Movie Maker is able to
extract this info from the tapes easily and it shows this info when imports
the files that made itself.

Is that possible in Vegas Studio at all? I know that there are some settings
in Vegas...

Thanks,
Just D.

Sorry, one correction - the idea was to make the file names generated from
the date/time, not like a stupid sequence of the words and numbers assigned
by Vegas(Studio). I like the video clips to be called using the absolute
datetime, it's very convenient to order them keeping in mind 20-30 different
tapes and thousands of files... So I'm not sure that this is a very good
idea to rename all files manually getting the date and time from the Vegas
Project Media folder in the next column. I'm wondering if any software is
able to create the file names like I described above... Or maybe some
plug-in or a separate simple software able to get this time stamp from the
file and rename the file automatically... I wish I knew how to extract this
info, it would be very easy to write this tool just in a few minutes...

Thanks for the link. Do know of anything else that like CassetteDV that
catalogues DV tapes? I can't get on with CassetteDV at the moment, but I
will persevere. I would like to look at other programs as well.
Thanks

Btw,

Paul is a very nice guy and we already sent a few messages to each other.
His latest DVDate was improved and published a few hours ago. Also I sent
Paul a couple more ideas and if he could implement them it would be very
good for all his users. Particularly I'm not sure if it's possible to
call the codec using by Vegas or Vegas Studio form his applications. The
codec is excellent, I guess it's the very best or one of the best on the
market, it can produce video with a very high quality and if Paul could use
this codec from his apps... Dreams... I realize that probably the interface
of this codec is not standard to be usable outside Vegas at all. At least it
maybe not published.

Anyway I'm very impressed with this very professionally made software - and
it's freeware! Paul knows about this newsgroup, I sent him this info a few
days ago, but I'm not sure if he has a chance to get here. This NG needs the
guys like him.

Mike, maybe you could talk to him in French. It would be more convenient for
both of you. I got a feeling that you should know the French.

Sorry, but that's not how most people would want to work. What you need is
for his software to made available as an alternative capture "device" from
Vegas, producing files named in the format you want.

I hear what you are saying and can't/won't argue with that. One of the
problems I have is that CassetteDV says my cassettes are NTSC, but as
I'm in the UK I reckon they are PAL. If they are being read as NTSC then
I can't be sure that I can use the data later.
Also, when I connect my camera (Panasonic NV-DS1) and switch it to VCR
it keeps switching back into record mode. it does settle eventually. I
don't know if that is the camera or the program, hence my wish to try
another program.

Ah, well, I passed my exams in French, but that was 58 years ago, so I
doubt very much I could make myself understood now!
