Are you installing it by right clicking on the .exe and running as admin? Gotta do that with Win 7

If your just peicing parts together with no effects and with the prefference setting “Enable no-recompression of long GOP renders” checked. and rendering to the exact format, you should see “No recompression neseccary” I believe it is in the preview window while rendering, and the render time should be tremdously faster.

Yes Vegas is more efficent with DV AVI for instance as every frame is an i frame, where with mpg, it’s not. But the fact that it’s already mpg, the original quality has been compromised and re-rendering it to avi isn’t getting back that quality. Most new cameras don’t capture avi eccept DV cameras. HDV cameras capture .m2t, a form of mpg. I have some cameras that capture .mts 1080 60p AVCHD. my i7s can handle them fine in Vegas until I start adding effects. Then the preview framerate slows down. Alot of people with slower machines that need a high framerate in their preview will convert them to an intermedite lossless format like Cineform. Cineform avi is easy on the CPU and is easier to edit. The fact is any re-compression will cause at least a little quality loss, even if you render them to lossless formats like Cineform. Now the color space of .m2t is 4.2.0 where Cineform is 4.2.2 so chromakeying a Cineform avi will give you better quality than chromakeying an .m2t file, so using effects that use color are an ecception to the rule, but just piecing them together, you would get better results with the MPG files, especcialy if you use no effects. There’s an option in your prefs, Enable long GOP no recompression, so rendering to the exact format of mpg will not re-compress at all. In fact you should see “No recompresson nessecary” I believe in the preview while rendering. When you see that, your loosing no quality at all.

Not at the same time though, right?

A can of air with the thin straw works great blowing out my laptops. Make sure the laptop is off and cool, Make sure the canned air is not turned upside down as it will spray super cold and don’t spray into the fan unless you can keep it from spinning. You can actually spin them to fast by blowing compressed air into them, generating voltage and damaginng your computer. You will be suprised how much dust you can blow out of a laptop.

I have a TM700 as well. Did you capture as stereo or 5.1? If it’s 5.1, try setting your project settings to 5.1 and then put the .mts file on the timeline. You will get 3 stereo tracks. Find the cleanest one(s) and work with that. What kind of noise is it? If it’s a constant noise like a 60hz hum, there are noise reduction filters that will work very well with that kind of noise, as long as you have a section of just the noise to get a noise profile from.

Vegas doesnt have the codec then for the video. Try comverting the files to avi with Stream clip. It’s free.

Try copying the vob files to your hard drive, change the extention to .mpg, put on the timeline. If there’s audio, render to avi if you feel you need to. If your machine will edit the mpgs, no use stomping on it again with an unnessecary recompresion to make them avi. The quality wont be better than the mpg.

Try setting your project settings to progressive, de-interlace method, interpolate. Also render as progressive. It may be a little stuttery due to the fast motion of your hand. I always de-interlace when keying. It looks like your shutter speed is to slow, causing some blur. Blur doesn’t key very well.

You could get away with DV and HDV but not AVCHD. HDV might be a little sluggish but usable.
