    I am a newbie at this so bear with me

    I can record good video in hdv30 format on the canon hv30 camera to tape

    I can then get the video onto a computer in mpeg2 1440x1080x32 at 29.97fps

    and then i can easily add this to media in vegas

    THEN

    when playing in vegas it is very choppy laggy etc

    I prob need to convert the file somehow or capture at different resolution

    not exactly understanding HDV vs avi/dv which I can do properly.

    any help is appreciated

    I’m a newbie as well mate but I’ve just dealt with a similar problem using the .m2ts format from Sony. I had to get Vegas Pro 8 as my old version of Vegas Platinum froze up totally when I tried to import the uncompressed files. I’m running a pretty powerful quad core PC so there shouldn’t really have been any processing issues but now, in Vegas 8, I can import as .m2ts and then export in whatever format i.e. wmv, avi or quicktime to use in After Effects. Just watch out with exporting to QT in particular, the file sizes end up HUGE but the video remains uncompressed.

    You might want to also try altering your audio latency settings in the Audio panel, I don’t know if it’ll do the trick but it’s worth a shot. There’s also a programme called ASIO 4 All which MIGHT help.

    Hopefully that’s of some use to you!

    All the best,
    T
