  Vegas 6 & bWAV files?

  Posted by Srfval on February 22, 2006 at 9:49 am

  Hi all!
  Can someone tell me if Vegas 6.0c can read b-wav files?
  Maybe with a plugin ?

  Thanx!

  Broadcast wave format support New!
  You can use Broadcast wave format files to exchange audio between audio editors or broadcasting platforms. Broadcast wave format files are similar to standard .wav files, but they contain additional metadata including timestamps that tell the software where to add audio on the Vegas timeline.

  Vegas will accept a stereo bwf via file | import. The bwf will be dropped on the timeline at the point that matches the timestamp in the header of the bwf file. The timestamp will also be visible in the clip properties | media dialog.

  Polyphonic bwf (more than stereo, such as output from a Sound Devices 744T or other multichannel recorder) must be split before use in Vegas. Fostex has a freeware splitter on their site called BWF Manager that will tear down a polyphonic file into 1ch. bwfs.

  Audacity is a freeware audio editor that will open BWF and export as wav, losing timestamp in the process.
