I would render as the same format of the HDV your using. If you render as SD, you will not be able to get HD from your HD footage later on. Another option is, if your going to use Vegas in the future with these files, to save as, and check “Copy media with project” so you can still get the 1080i and the 24 fps DV if you want in the future. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

I have been looking at the alienware i7s Shawn, and am very interested on how it’s doing for you with Vegas. Are you working with AVCHD by chance?

I had that problem with things moving on me after rendering once. I just set my project settings to the same resolution as the render resolution settings and everything stayed put. I wouldn’t give up on Vegas yet, unless your very good with another video editing program as Vegas is by far the easiest to learn in my opinion. We here at this forum can usualy answer any questions you may have within an hour or two, sometimes in minutes. Hope this helps, Danny Hays

If the hum is a constant narrow frequency, you can setup a notch filter in the EQ that comes with Vegas,it’s in every audio track as well as compressor and noise gate in the Vegas pro versions by default. If it’s not in Plat., add it in the event or track effect chain and make a very narrow filter cutting out the middle as far down as it allows, then while playing the track, slide the frequency slider until the hum goes away. As far as removing voices, I’m not knowledgable in that.

I did a search on VTS files and I believe they’re .VOB (video object) files which are the mpeg files on a DVD. See this link.

But your mixing them with .m2t files which are HDV. If your going to make SD DVDs with these videos, The m2t files will have to be recompressed to SD. But I would render one of the VTS.vob files as DVD compliant mpeg 2 and see if your preview window shows “no recompression required”. If it does then your not recompressing them. Also make sure your project properties are set to 720×480 DV NTSC, if your in the States. -
What is going somewhere is laptops with firewire ports. They are getting very hard to find, and if you do find one, it’ll cost as much or more than the cost of building an i7 that handles AVCHD. Other than JVC HDV camcorders that capture at 720p, their all 1080i I believe. Some AVCHD cameras capture 1080 24p, 30p and even 60p.
Here’s a good examle. A Sony HVR-A1U is $2000 if your lucky to find one at that price. I just had to send mine off to Sony for repair as it ate a tape and blew an internal fuse. I built an i7 for under $1000 and bought a Panasonic TM700 that shoots 1080 60p, 60i 24p and more for $750. The video quality is far superior to the Sony. I would be glad to get you a native 1080 60p clip to play with if you want. So I now have a new super fast computer and a camera that blows away the Sony HVR-A1 for less cost than the Sony camera alone.
I’m not knocking John and HDV as everyone has their preferences. but you do the math. No more tape for me. -
The Blackmagic cards are pretty specific on the express slot properties it needs to handle the Intensity pro card and the USB 3 card needed for the Shuttle, which I have. Make sure you read up on which slot to put it in on Blackmagics site and your motherboards manual. Danny Hays
