Dropped Frames ??
Hi there,
I have a strange problem, I am not sure if that is called dropped frames but after editing some footage from europe “MTS” recorded on a Canon h10 camcorder at res 1920 x 1080 I’ve noticed I am getting lost footage at my clips , what I did I joined 1.5 h footage into one file (mistake ) then I wanted to edit that file so I created a bunch of clips from the original piece, and rendered them as separate clips with XVID codec at 1920 x 1080 I am getting quite the quality and I am happy with it however I’ve noticed after renderign the clips that they would play and suddenly I got no video footage just sound…,the output turns black and then video output comes back on …. also I got another question, when I rendered a clip from that long original clip and then rerendered it again using xvid codec do I loose the quality twice ??? is the compressin occuring twice in this example ???, I have been truggling with this clip for a while and finally when I though I got pretty decent quality at fair size I noticed the video black out….
any help would be apprciated.
thanks.

I didn’t even know Vegas would render to Xvid? But your question is really confusing; there are so many steps there’s really no way to know where you may have gone wrong. Probably with the encode to xvid, but who knows.

Hello Joe,
thanks for the reply, I just wanted to mention there are only 2 steps in what I’m doing, I got a clip thats compressed with xvid at 1920 x 1080 now I load this clip and and trimm stuff out that I don’t want , next I render this clip again as win avi with xvid codec at res of 1920 x 1080, now duriing the playback I can see my vid and hear the sound however here and there the video will cutout and allI see is black screen while the clip is playing , I can hear the sound , then after a few seconds my vido comes back up …. I am not sure how to call this, simply while I render my content sometimes I get the black screen in place where a video footage should be playing …
anyone else had been having similar problems ???
thanks

I just tried dropping an xvid .avi on Vegas 9 and I don’t get any video at all. So you’re ahead of the game. It would be nice if Vegas edited xvids.

are you running 64 bit system ??

I am. Win7 64 bit home premium. But I first tried editing xvid in Vegas years ago and it’s never worked for me in any version.

Hello Joe,
This is strange I had visited a friend of mine thats using windows 7 64 bit and recently aquired the new sony vegas 64 bit package , for some reason he is unable to render to xvid at all – strange … the codec shows in as installed however sony vegas causes an error while in render compression selection window , what could be the solution ????,
we searched for a 64 bit codec package on line and got the shark 007 64 bit package installed that claims their codecs are 64 bit….
I am looking at getting myself a new windows 7 64 station , but it seems to have unresolved issues with codecs and software in general.
what is your experience with windows 7 and codecs ???thanks,
Andrew

I’m having no issues with codecs. But I never use xvid around Vegas. On the rare occasion I must encode something to xvid, I’d probably use a third party converter.
