You can’t do this in a DVD authoring app.
Do it in your editing software.

Broadcast HD for stations are usually DVCPRO-HD or HDCAM.

D-5 is usually used for film work as the decks
are uber expensive.

Sonic still leads the pack as far as I know.

How long does it take gearshift on your laptop to
create the proxy files for say, one hour of footage?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

David are you sure blu won’t playback standard DVD’s?

That would be a major deal breaker for folks looking
for compatibility of their older discs.

I recently posted pics here of pioneer’s first blu-ray
pc drive and it can read/write all formats but cannot
write to CD-R in its current form.

Peter,

Do you capture the the dv widescreen .avi proxies in vegas
and then recapture the m2t files?

What is the workflow for proxies on vegas with gearshift?

[Chris Borjis]

I would recommend you do some reading here.

It will quickly get you up to speed and answer
nearly any question you could have.

[Chris Borjis]

are you compressing it?

I would think it wouldn’t work at all unless its uncompressed .pcm

[Chris Borjis]

excellent. the manual could have simply called the “split events”
similar to a common razor tool. That would have sufficed.

should have known it would be this simple in vegas.

thanks!
