Thanks John. I have checked to see if there is anything I can change in the project and event properties along with trying every variable in the custom settings before rendering and it doesn’t seem to make any difference. I’m sure I could have missed something, but I guess I’m stuck with the Sony AVC codec for now which results in a softer image.

29.97 for source and output.

Yep, that is it. Thanks! I will be looking forward to hearing how it works for you. You would think Sony would be able to do this in one of there next releases.

That is good to hear. Thanks for the update. Now if they would just announce GPU support to fix playback of AVC I would be a real happy camper. That is probably not going to happen in the near term.

I just realized that camera doesn’t shoot 60fps. It shoots 60i so the number I gave you before won’t help. I am afraid that I don’t know what to suggest.

GPU is the Graphics Processer Unit. Applications are starting to utilize the power of the graphics card’s processer along with the CPU to help speed up certain types of processes on the computer. In this case, the decoding of AVC footage so it can be displayed realtime. Sony needs to implement this as soon as possible IMHO.
There is a media player out there called Splash that takes advantage of this. It plays MTS files perfectly. There is also a plug-in for Vegas available, but I can’t remember the name and I think it is around $99.

Unfortunately, this isn’t going to change much, dispite your CPU’s power, until Sony adds GPU support to Vegas to really help decode AVC. The CPU just can’t handle AVC very well. Once they do that, playback will be smooth as silk. Other apps already have it. I may be wrong, but I think Premiere already has this. This is the top item on my wish list for Vegas. Hopefully 9b or c will include it. I will keep my fingers crossed.

When you right click on a clip in the time line and go to Properties, does the Undersample rate: show 59.940 fps? If so, try changing the Undersample rate from 1.000 to .4 which will conform it to 24p with a 23.976 fps. See if that fixes your ghosting issue.
