Help with VCR Playback

[dvejendla]

Hello Everyone,

I am having trouble playing back a file (live event recorded to the Tricaster's internal hard drive) through the VCR. The recorded file is about 2 hours and 7 minutes long and about 29 gigabytes in size.

My hope was to play the file through the VCR and send it through the output of the tricaster, which is connected to a DVD recorder. Then we would have a DVD of this live event available.

This file is of a concert that our church held at a different location. For the concert we just took the Tricaster and left the DVD recorder at the church. I thought I could record the concert live to the hard drive and come back at a later time to play it back through the vcr, outputting it to the DVD recorder.

I have had no such luck. When playing the file back through the VCR, the file stops at about 50 minutes into the concert.

So my question is this: is there a file size limit or length restriction on files played back through the VCR?

Thank you.

Deepak

There is no file size limit, as the TriCaster hard drive uses the NTFS file system. This allows you to record a single file to completely fill the video drive, if you wish.

Have you gone into the Editor and tried to load the clip on the timeline?
Can the editor see the whole clip?

Paul,

I can see the whole clip in the timeline and can play it back as well by going into admin using Windows Media player ten. In the VCR next to the clip title, it does not show the clip's total time - its shows as 7F:a2 - really odd. Thanks.

Paul,

One correction - the time of the clip shows up as 7f:46.19

Thanks.
