If that works then we probably have the same problem - I can see the video fine in Media Express but vic just shows a black screen with any codec or size. Here we have the Blackmagic Intensity Pro cards with Sony HDR-SR11 cameras, which are AVCHD. Side note: I don't think the recording format makes much of a difference, just the specific video format, as in 1080i at a certain framerate.<br><br>Nathan, is vic expecting a certain framerate? The format that worked with Media Express was 1080i @ 59.97. If it's only been tested with PAL so far, I would hazard a guess and say that the NTSC isn't using the right format/framerate in some way.<br><br>--Andrew<br><br> <div class="gmail_quote">2009/2/17 Jimmy Miklavcic <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jimmy.miklavcic@utah.edu">jimmy.miklavcic@utah.edu</a>></span><br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: rgb(204,204,204) 1px solid"><br> Mike, it's great news that you have been able to get HIT Lab's vic to<br>work.
