Time Code Scan #742

Open lavidtech-1 opened 1 year ago

lavidtech-1 commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I am just learning vrecord.

using it to archive footage.

How would i preserve/capture the timecode in the file captured through vrecord?

I am capturing to prores, maybe i need to be capturing as something else?

I am also having issues with the timecode scan feature. it always scans and then says none for all possible settings.

Thanks in advance

This option iterates through the timecode_format options at https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-devices.html#decklink and shows the result for each one. It's intended to help the user pick from timecode formats that are actually available, though it sounds like in your case there aren't any. Are you using an SDI video input?

Thanks for the response.

We are using an SDI output from a Digibeta deck to an SDI input of our Blackmagic card.

In the GUI of the vrecord software under the decklink tab, in the timecode format window we do not have anything selected.

Whenever we run "scan timecode types" we get a response of none for all options.

Under RS422 deck control window we do have control of the deck and see the timecode, however after beginning the record the deck does not begin playing, needs to be manually started and results in having a file without timecode preserved.

Any thoughts on what we can change or needs to be selected?
