Hrm. Typically, you go either hand-held or attached to the camera. Not both. For hand-held, man-on-the-street interview work, the most durable, cheap mic I know is the Shure SM-58 but you may need some kind of preamp between the mic and the camera to boost the signal a bit. You'll have to test it

I use the Shure SM57 SM58 all the time with my camera. It's the interview mic I use for interviews on the Dragon*Con DVDs. Right now it's cabled to the camera. I have a passive dual-XLR to 1/8 adapter that I use to tie it to my Sony TRV950's 1/8 mic jack. This takes care of the impedance

Perhaps _the_ proven journalists' mic for hand-held interviews is the Electrovoice RE-50 http://www.fullcompass.com/product/296440.html with its very substantial pop filter. Like the SM58, its an unbalanced dynamic mic. To get around the PIP powering on the camcorder, one can use a Shure A96F

[videoblogging] Blank tape detected in Premiere

Guys, When I dump a tape to Premiere, it sometimes stops in the middle of the capture process and says capture stopped because blank tape was detected. I've become used to this as a minor glitch that occurs once in a blue moon. Lately, though, it's been happening a lot. It seems to crop up

Do you use SP or LP speed on your camera? I only use SP to reduce frame drops. It's possible you are getting frame drops from the tape during capture, but they tend to show up differently in other programs (Vegas lists them as actual dropped frames rather than dumping the capture). Just for

I've had that problem before too. Are you using Scene Detect during capture? That could be part of the problem. It tries to add a few extra frames in between stop points during batch captures, and it usually fails. Also it helps if you use the same brand of DV tape stock all the time, as
