Vegas 6.0 importing audio incorectly
when im importing a video/audio file, in imports the videos fine but when it comes to the audio it out of sync, and vegas doesnt seem to preview it very well, really choppy. i can play the file video/audio flawlessly in windows media player, power dvd, pretty much and other media player. its just when i try to import it into vegas is when i have problems.
here is my method of capture.
i transfer files directly from my dvr thru firewire to my computer. the end file format is .mpg, there is no way for me to capture it using a capture other than the program CapDVHS (that i have found atleast) and there really isnt any settings in that program.
thanks in advance

What kind of soundcard do you have?

MPG is not really designed for editing – it can be done, but preview playback with such a compresed format can be un-smooth as you’re experiencing (The other apps you mentioned are optimised for playback rather than editing).
To test that the final result will be better, drag to select a short loop region in the timeline and press Shift B for a Ram Preview – this should be smooth and in synch. -
i have an audigy 2 platinum sound card, but i dont capture audio with it, the video/audio is all captured through the firewire cable.

ya i know its not the best format, but i think thats what the format is on my dvr so thats what i end up with after the capture. ill try what you said to do, thanks.

Do you have a DVD drive on your computer?
If so, Vegas 6.0c added DVD import capability.
File – Import – DVD Camcorder disc.
6.0d added scene detection capability. -
This is assuming his dvr can make DVDs.

no my dvr cant make dvds, but what i have found out is that i can just encode the file into a .vob, with ffmpeg, then vegas doesnt have a problem. that prgram does a pretty good job, but now im wondering if there is a better program out there to convert it? thanks
