Time for a better movie scanner option

[Alwyn Adkins]

The audio and video are both captured together, so I have a synced video file (with the audio embedded). If I do any work on the video, it stays the same length so the audio will always match.

If there was de-synced audio I would just stretch or shrink either the video or audio slightly in my editor.

Here's an example; the only editing I did to this demo was flipping it (it captures upside down) and deinterlacing...

Deinterlacing? You capture with a digital camera. That's progressive video. So how would you need deinterlacing?

John, I'm capturing with a digital video camera. The output is interlaced DV. 👍

There were progressive scan DV cameras but I think most consumer DV cameras were interlaced as is Alwyn's Panny shown.

For consumer(ish) DV camcorder I can only think of one model - Panasonic NV-GS400 that does have "frame mode" scan function, which is the closest thing to being true progressive. The next model lineup would be in the realm of "prosumer" range - Panasonic DVX series, and some Canon XL seires.

But in today's world NONE of these "prosumer" camera would stand a chance to compete with current HD camcorders - even the basic consumer ones. So try looking for something more "modern" counterparts - seriously.
