Do you ahppen to know the current specs of your laptop- cpu, memory, disk speed, video card w/size? Sometimes even with a high end machine the video can be blotchy. I all depend on how it was origianlly recorded. If you want to PM me I can help you out.

Mav,
Using a program right now to convert a VOB to an AVI and it works great....it is an excellent way to avoid not using a Canopus Converter.
Just one question how fast (speed-wise) does it take the film as you are indexing? Sometimes it seems like 10 minutes in between plays.

Beyond me now. i know that when I use a computer with 1 gig of ram, there is no delay. When i use my lap top, 512 ram, there is a delay of 2-5 seconds if the video is playing.
On a side note I met with the pro scout guys this past weekend. The new version loks to be very very good.

Just one question how fast (speed-wise) does it take the film as you are indexing? Sometimes it seems like 10 minutes in between plays. The software converter may or maybe not make an avi file that's compatible with your editing software. It has to create an uncompressed avi file. If it's converting to mpeg2 or mpeg4, etc. those are codecs(short for compress/decompress) Check it out after you convert it -- see if you can cut it up and index it. That could be your problem with the delays. There really should not be any delays. What's teh name of the converter? I use WinDVD Creator and it works great. btw - of course you'll still have to use the Conopus box for vhs tapes. |

The cpu, video card, and disk drive (and memory to a lesser degree) are the important factors for performance with video editing. The one that usually gets people is the disk drive. It has to have a rotational speed of 7500rpms or faster. That's very rare in laptops and not that common in desktops. PM me if you need any help. |

We used Proscout and loved it. Only cost was a laptop and a couple of external hard drives and vcr converter. We are doing our highlight film with it also. I am sure there are probably better quality but it does for us what we need.

Does Proscout have the ability to have me enter the name of a formation once and then print a tally sheet of what plays they run out of that formation?
I want to be able to look at a printout of the actual formation and what plays are run after I enter all the data.
That may not have made a bit of sense.

I want to be able to look at a printout of the actual formation and what plays are run after I enter all the data. That may not have made a bit of sense. Absolutely. This was our favorite report. It gives a visual thumbnail picture of each formation with a list of each play under it. Next to the play name you can have it put the number of times run or amount of yardage gained. We usually made it 2 pages, 1 for running plays and 1 for passes. I'll try to post an example. |

here's the link to all of the example reports from their website. The next reelase due next month is going to have a set of defensive reports also. proscoutvideo.com/DefaultVert.aspx?Page=ReportsI think the 1 you're referring to is 'formation vs play' |

Mav,
Thanks for the info.
Will I have to download the video on the computer to do what I mentioned before, or can I simply eneter the data as I watch the video on VHS?

so do you have to capture the video in a different program or does proscout have a capture feature?
i have a digital camera and fire wire cable, but i could not find anywhere to capture video in the proscout software.

So the new proscout software has come in? If so what are the new features? Very much improved asthetics. Improved onsceen wording and better telestatar. Better cutshop that does more labeling, I believe it will have "Offense pass Button" "Offense Run Button" and maybe some other buttons, for instance it inputs more info as you cut. It will also have an auto cut option, but I think with the more buttons in the cutshop you will still want to use the manual cut shop. The best thing is that I believe you can burn directly to DVD, you do not have to output through your graphics card. |
