    If I encode any videos with TMPGEnc 3 and use the AC-3 plugin sound option, Sony Vegas 6 will only recognize the video – is there anyway round this? The issue also occurs with imported DVD footage from a Sony DVD cam. Many thanks.

    Vegas 6 will not read AC3 audio. You will need to convert it to something Vegas 6 can read (like WAV). Same is true with your camera footage – the audio is AC3 and needs to be converted to something else.

    Why are you giving Vegas 6 files encoded in TMPGenc? MPEG2 is NOT a good editing format.

    The TMPGEnc video was more of a test. The main issue started when I got the DVD files off the camera and it had AC3 audio. Its the files from the camera I really need to edit!

    Either use some program to convert it to DV-AVI or capture out the analog output of the camera through a convertor such as the Canopus ADVC-100 into a standard DV-AVI file.

    In all honesty, you would be better off trading it in on a MiniDV camera.
