VEGAS Best Quality Setting

[John Rofrano]

You can capture one long file by going into the preferences in the HDV tool (i.e., Prefs button in upper left of Capture window) and in the Capture Preferences window just scroll to the bottom of the preference list and uncheck Enable HDV scene detection. It’s broken anyway so I always recommend turning it off.

There is no way to set IN/OUT points for HDV. Apparently this was never implemented and is always grayed out. 🙁

OK, so bottom line is Vegas cap HDV from Tape will have many broken clips right John? if that’s the case then why they even have those IN & OUT markers and Cap IN&OUT in there for since they’re all gray out and can not turn them on.., well that’s why i turn to Adobe Prem CS4 to cap 1 single long file (60min recently). It’s just that the file
captured has diff. extension, mpeg instead of m2t (I don’t know if this is better or not) and i prefer using Sony Vegas to cap and work in Vegas..Anyway Thanks for your response John.

Nhat, a lot of Vegas users have been very happy with HDVSplit (it’s free) instead of the capture utility built into Vegas.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for gave me link to HDVSplit, i DL and used it..it did capture
HD source to a ONE SINGLE File .m2t but i had to sit there for the whole tape (60 min) is there other CAP soft (output extension .m2t)
that give me option to set IN/OUT point and CAP that then just walk away without worry to click stop when tape’s end?
*** One more question, I’ve been working on this HD project (1440x1080i)using VEGAS and render out Main Concept MPEG2 (…m2t..)
on time line i have 2 Vid tracks & 2 Audio tracks (total 4 Tracks)
and Render’s template is…VBR one pass..Quality Slider=BEST…last page=BEST setting. The file is rendering like half way thru then i got a pop up message saying something like “system is low on memory, pls turn off other application….” i close it and the RENDER is STOP
,there’s no other app opening nor Antivirus checking..at that time
This message appear oftenly when i choose Propertie’s 32bit(Video level)& 32bit Full
i then choose 8bit it render longer but still get the message “Low memory..” Why is that happen, can you help Mike?
