  • Unwanted Splitting of captured HD files

    Posted by Ronan Jones on November 18, 2008 at 12:27 pm

    I’m using HD DV player with Vegas to capture tapes.

    Ofr some reason its splitting the tape in 18 or more seperate files. is there a reason for this or do i have the setting wrong.

    Its also saving them as .m2t file? Is this the format for all High Definition? Vegas seems to have no problem editing them..

    thanks,

    Ronan

    You just need to go in Preferences and uncheck
    “Enable HDV scene detection”.

    .m2t is the raw HDV file format recorded to tape. So when captured
    you get the .m2t extension.

    ..unfortunately unchecking “enable HDV scene detection” doesn´t seem to work at least for me in Vegas 8.0c … seems to be a bug (always spliting clips) .. anyone have reported this ???

    kind regards

    I was under the impression that HDV “split-up” was the only way you could capture it, unlike DV where you could set the in and out points and do a batch caapture.

    That option doesn’t seem to exisit in v 9.0 though the instructions also mention it. Where else might it be?

    Thanks!
