  • Vegas 7.0 and Sony m2ts problem

    Posted by Jamie Guse on April 28, 2008 at 9:37 pm

    I captured video with a sony hd hard drive camera and am using vegas to edit and render. So, I’ve loaded the 5.2 GB file (65 minute) video clip into vegas 7.0 and at the tail end of the clip it shows up in red and sometimes cause an error and shuts down vegas. Any ideas on what is going on? Are my setting on my Sony Hard Drive Camera set to high or is my computer process to slow? When I try to render to my typical dvd settings what usually takes 1 hour is taking almost 8 hours.

    Have you done M2ts project before that are over an hour?
    You may need more memory I have had problems when I start loading large projects into Vegas 5.0. Try
    closing down all extra background process for starters. This usually clears up strange picture and audio
    glitches. Second try splitting up the file. Just go about half way down the time line hit split and save the
    Vegas file than delete the second half. Render the first half to a lower compression or uncompressed
    format like Sony avi. Then reopen the Vegas file and delete the first half from the time line and render the
    second half. Now open a new Vegas file and put the two uncompressed files on the time line and render
    your DVD.

    I had a project with several large photos m2ts and uncompressed files with lots of motion that kept
    crashing on me during rendering. I had to do a similar process and it worked. I only have 1.5 gigs of Ram.
    I really need to get another .5 gigs

    You may want to try some different settings on your DTE drive. I know I have used some third party HDV capture software that resulted in a M2Ts file that slowed Vegas to a crawl. I had to render it out to Sony avi before I could do anything with it.
