Hi Martin,
Downloading and will be testing, thanks.
If you have a chance please check my comment in the (recording in black & white) thread, it would be great to have your input.

Hi Martin, Thanks for the Latest release.

I've installed V8 on my machine and so far after some brief testing of both 64bit and 32 bit versions, I have found the same fault.

So far I've only used some flash video files as inputs, and have found that neither the master audio meter in the centre or the individual input meters function. If I set up my record, and start that, then the recording Vu lights up and seems fine..

Thanks for implementing type 2 avi, that will save me some valuable time once I get to editing after the streams.

Shall be testing quite a bit over the next few weeks, before my next stream with it all...hoping I've finally got my audio record issues sorted. Shall report back

thanks again

Hi John,

Adobe Flash does not provide a means of measuring the audio levels which is why they appear blank.
Where possible I would recommend converting any flash files with audio you may have to another format as flash is not all that versatile and the feature is mainly there
for cases where a conversion would not be possible (such as for lower thirds etc)

Regards,

Martin

hi martin,

thank you for this new fixes. Desktop Capture Aspect Ratio is perfectly now. however...

1. audio mixer for recording is not appearing when using the automatic configuration option. i stil need to click "setup -> ok" buttons to see it.
2. master audio meter is always showed even i untick "Show master audio meter in main window"

out of it, this new v8 is working very well. thank you again martin, you always do a huge amazing job.

regards,

v8 looks so amazing. might be more perfect when in the "manual transition" option of adding other effects not just "fade"

Shortcut for video delay only saves one frame of video. If you press the save button on the input it will save the correct time video it is set for, but using the shortcut only saves one frame. It doesn't matter what you have set for the amount of time.

Hi, Martin.
vMix v8 great job.

Some questions:

1. Added in a future version of the requirements:
If the end of the video playback PGM window, Preview window video automatic switching function.
(Using a short intro video is very useful.)

2. About recommended for recording h.264
cineForm codecs can not be used in vMix(x64), we are looking for an alternative.
Good suggestions on your h.264 solution, we expect.

Hi, Just a quickie to say, thx for the reply firstly and secondly....during my day of testing today had no problems, I like the new capture where it shows you computers on the network..certainly makes having to remember ip addresses a lot nicer..lol

Records were fine, and have to say using an analogue audio desk, via compressor into a Splitter, and datavideo 4ch desk and then into Vmix via my blackmagic extreme3d had no noticeable delay issues..
Also have installed the free version on a machine that I've upgraded to Windows 8 and that seems fine as well.

How did you determine the delay to be 133 frames? That would be around 4 to 5 seconds, is the audio ahead or behind the video?
A small clip of the issue might make it easier to determine what is happening.

Settings from a previous version would not affect the recording.

Martin
