I didn’t do too much care for this, just wrote every relevant info into the description.
That should do it until there will be a correct support page 🙂

How on earth can Magix reproduce an issue involving 50-100GB of data? You can’t exactly dropbox it, or put in on a few DVDs. You could put it on 2 50GB blueray disks. Or send them a $80 1TB USB HD and hope they return it.

Ha! Good point!

Well, since eliminating the single .M2T file reduced my load time from 21 minutes to 2 minutes, it does seem that the .M2T handling seems to be the culprit and probably easy enough to track down. With others reporting the same problem this should be doable.

Supporting the notion that this is a file I/O issue — I just created a new project in Vegas14, and in the in-Vegas EXPLORER window navigated to the folder where I have two .M2T files. It’s been sitting on that dialog now for several minutes with task manager showing constant disk activity (I’m guessing it is reading the files from start to end). After 11 minutes, the screen flashed and I got control back. Noteworthy is that the explorer window does NOT have auto-preview play enabled.

I opened a case last Tuesday with Magix via phone regarding the slow load times of my m2t files into V14. I heard back from them yesterday (Monday). In reply to the below support response, I sent them a link to the test performed by Red-Rob Rothkopf earlier in this thread.

I’m sure they’re slammed with bugs and such, but I’m surprised that they don’t have better online support as an established company. I’m sticking with V13 for now which is fine. At this point I’m just happy that someone bought Vegas and I’m not forced to work with Premier…

FROM MAGIX:
…. This is something we are looking into currently however we are not able to reproduce the issue yet. Which specific hardware or software created the source files?

The file was created using Vegas 10’s built-in “Capture HD Video” function, to load HDV footage from my Canon XHA1s.

Hi,

I had some problem now with my .mts files from my JVC HM600.
One of them I recorded today was long, over an hour, about 16GB in size.
After I edited, Vegas14 crashed, bringing down even my PC when I wanted to render.
The symptoms were similar to what we encountered with .mxf, and .m2t files, but now with my mts.
As a last chance (because I needed to render) I replaced Vegas 14 File IO plugins with those from Vegas13.
It works.
And it healed my problem for now.
I checked back, and reopened the project that was impossible to open with Vegas14.
Now, with the file IO plugins from Vegas13 everything seems to work fine (I’m so lucky… :)).

I’ll report the case for Magix too.
Seemingly, Magix fixed some bugs in Vegas, and placed few other in fileIO.

Best regards

I received the following reaponse from Magix tech support regarding the m2t bug problem:

We now have this issue correctly reproduced and in our bug tracker and are working on an update to fix it.  In support we are not able to provide iron clad promises as to a timeframe, but it sounds like it will be soon.
