  • Vegas 9 – MP4 Audio cuts in and out

    Posted by Tom Viccaro on September 27, 2010 at 1:43 am

    Got two Samsung HMX-H200 camcorders to add to my Canon HF10, so I could quickly import files via flash cards then mutlticam edit using Sony Vegas 9.

    The Canon MTS files work fine in Vegas 9, but the Samsung MP4 files audio cuts in and out (up and down on levels) like the tick of a clock when played/viewed in edit mode(video plays fine).

    The Samsung MP4 plays perfect in Realplayer and plays and edits in Pinnacle Studio 12 no problem(but no mulitcam function.)

    If I open the Samsung MP4 in Vegas 8 the audio works, but the video stammers/freezes.

    Don’t want to re-encode, it would defeat the reason for getting flash cards to quickly import then edit.

    Any ideas?

    My son and his friends shot some video with this Samsung camera. When you import into vegas platinum 10, every other second of the audio is silent.

    Windows media player plays it fine so obviously the right codec exists.

    Cakewalk Sonar can also import and render the audio with no problem.

    Solution:
    If you right click the bad clip in vegas and scroll down you can see what File IO plugin it used. It used something called “compoundplug”. If you look in the Program Files\Sony\Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0\FileIO Plug-Ins folder, you can see there is an mp4 plugin. For some reason, Vegas chooses the compoundplug instead.

    Bruit force fix: Rename the compoundplug folder (I just called it “compoundplug_”) and restart vegas.

    Imports work perfectly now

    FYI, for anyone who finds this thread who is hopeful it will work with Version 10 of Vegas: I tried it for importing clips from a Samsung HMX-H200 and while it did fix the audio stutter it made the video stutter instead! What ended up working was the procedure described in https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/910863
