Can Vegas use DVCPRO HD footage
I looked in the archives and did not find a specific answer to this question. The Sony website does not mention support for DVCPRO HD. It only mentions HDV.
So just to be sure I figure I ask the gang hear. Does Vegas support DVCPRO HD? My final output will be a DVD, so i know I’ll loose quality. So is there a way to downgrade the DVCPRO HD footage to HDV quality and then use that in Vegas? I guess the same goes for DVCPRO 25 & 50 as well.
Thanks. -

As far as I know the only DVCPro HD solution for Vegas is a third party codec from Serious Magic. $195.
