Sony Vegas 6 won’t do JVC’s ProHD …. will they ever??
Being that ProHD is a JVC gig, my guess is that I need to switch to Avid or Adobe because they ARE impartial to supporting consumer demands. I’m not saying Sony didn’t bring good things to Vegas, but if the guys from Sonic Foundry had only held onto it……

Maybe I missed something, but I believe the included cineforum codec has hdv 24p support.

ProHD to HDV is a like comparing WindowsXP to Windows2000. They are members of the same high compression MPEG-2 family that has the bit budget to fit onto a miniDV tape at the same speed as SD DV (SP). If you are buying new you’d probably get the ProHD.
The main differences are the length of the GOP as I understand. 6 elements in ProHD instead of 15.
However the glass and the low compression outputs of the JVC (and the forthcoming Panasonics) are the rub that Sony have to market against.
JVC doesn’t have a high end market to protect….. -
From what I heard at NAB, the sales reps said “ProHD is not a format, but a new product line”…yada, yada…and it helped them to obtain things like true 24p…but it IS a tweaked MPEG2 and won’t work with some NLE programs off the shelf, and not Vegas 6. JVC actually had 3 additional booths in the ProHD area with Avid, Adobe, and Apple reps demonstrating their software workarounds for capturing ProHD footage.
But as I understand Sony Vegas does not support ProHD native capture, even though that’s what they were striving for with native HDV capture in release 6.
