I am copying a bunch of old studio beta tapes over to flash and was wondering if anyone has some tips or names of good programs.
We are using one program to rip the audio and video from the rack and that seems to work fairly well.

I am having issues combining the two separate files. Right now I am using Sorrenson Squeeze
Video Encoding Simple & Easy to Use Encoder | Sorenson Squeeze

My goal is to have a final version for Flash.

I greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks

im not a huge tech person but...

are you looking for an audio editing program? where you can edit/mix the file?

Do you have access to an editing application? If so, which one? Are you using a Mac or PC to do this? How is your current workstation set up...ie, do you have a beta deck going through a break out box into a computer?

We have Sonic Stero Interface and a SONY DVW-510


We have a few different apps. I am using Squeeze because the guy that used to do this used it. I am betting it is some setting somewhere in the software.


Step 1 is converting the beta into a .mpg and a .wav. No issues here.
Step 2 should be using Squeeze to compile/join the two files to produce a .flv and .swf.

My issue is that I am getting the swf and flv but they are not together. The audio and the video are still separate but converted to flash format.

If you have any good programs LMK. I can always put in a purchase request.

how about... flash?

new document, set frame rate to match movie.
import movie and audio. export the flv....

and how about adobe premiere? i think it can export flv too.

Looks like it... from the FAQ:
How do I create a muxed MPEG file in Squeeze?
By default Squeeze is setup to create separate (elementary) files. To change this and create one (muxed) file simply open the options for the preset and change the Stream Type to Program.

I will look into that this morning.

Nice, now I just have to search through the presets.


On a side note: I think I made some progress late last night with some settings in Squeeze. Apparently there are other ways to link the audio to the specific video. I have one encoding now, I will post updates in about 40 minutes.

Sounds good. I've only used Sorenson to change video files from one format to another so my knowledge is definitely limited there.

So far it seems to work. Got them all done with flash so they will play in a web browser with a little flash player to control the video.

Now I have to figure out why Sonic SD is telling me something is unplugged when everything is fine.
