  • m2ts file makes Vegas very slow

    Hi.

    Had no problem before, but this particular avchd file has some problem. Vegas could draw peaks for the audio and looks like the video is ok, but when I try to edit, Vegas almost freezes on certain places where I point the cursor on the timeline. Obvious that file is somehow damaged, but all the data seems to be there, even those frames that don’t respond, finally they appear in the preview.

    Is there any way to re-code the file, clean it up or fix it up again?

    Do all of the M2TS files act like this? That is a VERY highly compressed format and it really needs an i7 to edit it. But you can render all your clips as NTSC DV widescreen with the same name but the extention will be .avi and edit those. Then just before rendering, Right click on each of the DV files in your project media window and click replace, point the the original .m2ts files and since they will have the same name they’ll be easy to find. Then render to your desired format. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

    Thanks for the reply, but I have a different problem. It’s this particular file which is troublesome. I have a new i7, editing is not a problem at all, this file is faulty. I already tried to render it, it stopped after some time, rendering doesn’t go further after a certain frame. But when I click on the timeline after this frame, everything is there, also audio peaks show that there’s no gaps. So there’s some error in the chain of the frames, that’s what I think, and that was really my question, is there some way to fix the frames up again, rebuild the file again? Or to replace broken frames with blank ones?
