Premiere Stops capturing Video during a recording session

[atheling]

I am currently using a Canopus ADVC-300 to capture my collection of analogue video tapes from a Panasonic AG-MD835 Medical Grade S-VHS VTR into Premiere Pro 1.5.1.

While performing a capture of a whole tape it hits a pause between two scenes (stop/start recording) and premiere decides to stop recording and pops up a screen to enter details to save the file. This is not a file size limit problem as it captures 56 minutes of vide (~13gb) and hits the pause and stops. It doesn't matter where the pause is.

Is there a setting in Premiere to tell it to ignore the pause and keep recording until the end of the tape? I know you can use 'Scene edit' to overcome this but is that's only if you have DV camcorder. I've checked my canopus and nothing there to tell Premiere to stop.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Atheling.

I would guess that the problem might be a dropout of the video signal between takes that Premiere interprets as end of recording.

Scenalyzer Live is much more tolerant of such things than Premiere. Worth trying again using SCLive for capture. See

- get the v4 beta. Try before buy puts watermark on clips, but will allow you to see if it overcomes your problem before parting with any money.
