Timeline weirdness:Showing long time
I have converted a series of .vob files to mp4 using Handbrake. Mediainfo shows that they have the expected lengths in time. They are for the movie Gran Torino, which is about 2 hours or a bit less. I wanted to join the mp4 files for playing.
However when I placed them on the timeline in Vegas, they showed as being just in excess of 7 hours. So I discarded the project and tried again. This time they show as being in excess of 9 hours. 09:42:28:20 in fact.
This is not because I have placed them too far along the timeline.They start at 0:00:00:00 and the entire timeline shows a proportionate incorrect time reading.So it’s not just of the clips, AFAICS.
Going to frames and seconds gives the same way out readings: 1,750,000 frames, for instance. Interestingly that no of frames says to me that the film is over _19_ hours long at 25fps: in fact twice the length the timeline shows in hours minutes seconds.
I tried with another clip and it was OK. So I tried again with the offending group and it looks OK! The only difference I saw was that as I dropped the clips onto the timeline in the first two sessions, which showed incorrect times, I could zoom the TL out more than a tiny bit past the end of the last clip, but Vegas was automatically zooming it out to just that place, so I could drop the next clip. In the _last_ session, where time is correct, I could zoom out at will, but I had to do the zooming to let me drop the next clip.
I would appreciate any input on this.
EDIT: Interestingly Vegas was also saying that the render was going to take forever as well. On the last try the render time is showing as much shorter
