Can you capture in another file format besides .veg
When I capture in Vegas 8 and try and open the .avi file in another program the video file will play but no audio.
Do I have to render to a (lets say) .mov file?
If so this requires another whole step to play the captured file in QTime.
Any suggestions?Thanks,

Are you talking about standard def AVIs or HDV?
I’ve never has any issues with SD AVI footage playing in any other program.
This includes AVIs given to Mac users. -
Maybe I’m not being clear. When you capture live from a switcher the file is an avi file. Before anything is done to edit it should I be able to take the avi file give it to some one to open in Final cut Pro? If I try to open it in Window media player ot Quicktime all that plays is the video, there is no sound.
If I open the same file in Vegas the sound track shows up and plays fine so the audio is there. What I had to do is render the file as a .mov file then it would play fine. I hope I’m explaining this right. Maybe I don’t have it set up right?
By the way this is on Vegas 6, I have another computer running Vegas 8.
Thanks again.Thanks,

When you capture live from a switcher…
Ah yes, that does make a difference 🙂
I’ve done this numerous times at my workplace.
How are you feeding the audio to Vegas?
How are you combining the audio and video feeds?
If it’s through something like a Canopus box (or, in my case, through a JVC miniDV/SVHS deck with built-in A to D conversion), this should work just fine and be able to be given to anybody for their uses.My guess is that you’re recording the audio separately from the video which is why you can’t hear the audio in an external player.
BTW, I’ve done this as far back as Vegas 4 without issue.

Sounds like the avi file your switcher is outputting isn’t DV. Maybe it’s MJPEG? AVI is just a file container, not an actual format, and it may contain several codecs in that wrapper/container.

Let me check this out. This makes since to me also. This system has just been moved to a new room and I didn’t do the hook-up.
Thanks for the help. I’ll look it the config when I get back to the studio.Thanks,
