A lot of us knew it was coming. Just another way Adobe does business. I wonder if a class action might help but who has the money to do that.

Anyway which version of the old DV-Rack do you have? If you have the latest HD2 that came from Adobie I wonder if that could still be activated. I have both the original from Serious Magic as well as the HD2 I got direct from Adobie as an upgrade. but that was also maybe a few years ago?

Also what do you have your preview ettings at in the preview window? If it’s set to draft, try setting it to good.

Hi Craig

Oooh! Well You got me stumped! Sorry. Hopefuly one of the other guru’s will jump in as I haven’t had any experience where Vegas wouldn’t play something.

Mean time, I suggest you search the forum maybe for “Huffyuv codec” and see if it hasn’t been discussed before.

Hi Craig
Oh, okay. Like AVI, the MOV is only a wrapper and can contain any one of a number of actual codecs.

There’s a program called G-spot. Google it. It’s free so download and it will tell you what codec it is. Then you can get that codec.

Hi John
Thanks. We wouldn’t be running FW. Either RCA or BNC from the DSR-250 to an Ikan V7000 monitor. If I remember corectly the breakout cable for the monitor has a BNC.

Didn’t think about renting but yes there’s probably hundreds of big supply houses in LA.

Hi Mike
Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks. I wasn’t sure about how long a run you could have. I know there’s limits to say FW and maybe USB cables but wasn’t sure about composite. I think you canbuy boosters for the FW and USB but the monitor is composite connection.

I also just don’t want to have to tape a cable outside of the train between the locomotive and first car either but we’ll do what we have to. We cold snake it hrough but then you wouldn’ be able to close the door to the engine room where all the noise is.

Hi Again Chuck

hehehehe Diesel, comuter train. I’ve been doing technical video work for railways since 2002. Anyway to answer your points.

[Chuck Pullen] “1) You are not going to be using it to record or switch the camera. 2) You have a clear line of sight between the transmitter/receiver. 3) The transmitter and receiver will be fixed and not moving around.”

1. Not going to use it to control the camera. Like I said I’d be at the camera.

2. Through the engine and into the coach? I don’t think that’s a clear line-of-sight 😉

3. Yea, I can say that. the camera is locked down except for panning and whomever is holding the monitor won’t be walking around.

Anyway I did find this……

…..but I’d bet dollars to donuts that it’s way outta my price range.

It should be battery powered however since I’m a railroad guy, I already got a power inverter from the last railroad I worked for, that clips to the 72v battery terminals in the engine and inverts to 120VAC but don’t need to use it much as my Anton Bauer Hytron 140’s will power my DSR-250 for about 12 hours. 7 with my nNovia digital recorder connected. I used to use it when I used my laptop and DV-Rack to record.

Hi Chuck

No thank! Spending $10K is totally out of the question! 😉

Anyway I was trying to google some stuff and this page came up….
https://www.avtechsolutions.com/he_v3003113.htm

Dunno if that would work or not but I’m going to email them.

Actually we only need 100ft or so between a locomotive and the first car in the train. I just don’t want to hang a cable outside. I would think a 100′ composit cable wouldn’t carry a signal that far. We don’t need audio.

Thanks for your info. I will check Markertek and B&H.

Hi Craig

Are you saying you want to bring a *.MOV into Vegas? Yes you can. If you’re asking if you can import a *.FCP final cut project file, no you can’t. So what’s a FCPRO MOV?

I also use MBP and Final Cut Express. I’m colaborating on this project with a fellow who has Final Cut Pro 6 (Studio 2). We researched and tried everything including an XML file. So I’m workin on this project in FCe so we can swap project files. We both had copies of the same clips.

Hi Shane

Wow! Thanks so much for your info. I’m going right over and get that eBook (PDF). Price is right!

So now I got to see how fast I can afford that AG-HPX170! Sorry but I’m getting excited that I won’t have to carry a 19lb DSR-250 too much longer! 😉
