Vegas 8 and record time/date in DV (again)

[Matthew Reyes]

Okay, that’s what I understood. So I guess I’m back to square one.

I thought the original poster and I were pretty explicitly talking about HDV format .M2T files and not DV .AVI files. Oh well.

DV is DV whether it’s wrapped in an AVI container or a .mov container, the codec remains the same.

For standard def, “DV” video, you are mostly correct. I have noticed subtle compression and header scheme differences between resultant Quicktime and AVI files captured from the same DV video clip, but sure, I hear what you’re saying.

However, the original poster and I have issues with our M2T file management, and that implies 1080i HD video. In this case, while Apple Quicktime does use the same file extension .MOV, it is VERY differently encoded and managed than the MainConcept MPEG-2 .M2T file that is captured by Sony Vegas. I’ve had major problems going back and forth between the two, but those problems go beyond the scope of this post and forum.

I have posted a new question to the root of the forum in hopes that a clearer description of my problem may yield a more relevant answer.

Thanks!

how do you get that info to stay on the clip so you can see it while playing back?
