to which codec did you render the unviewable video?

Your best bet is to use the music with Media Player, Camtasia to record the screen, them import the resulting AVI to Vegas, IMO.
No…there isn’t a scope plugin like that for Vegas.Douglas Spotted Eagle

What is the SOURCE of your video? How/where did you acquire these piece of media? they’re obviously not standard file encodes. you really don’t need to be playing with all these codecs/conversions

Machine time-time that a machine cannot be used, because it is occupied with rendering. Therefore, it’s an employee that’s more or less “on sick day” because you can’t do anything with it while it’s rendering.
As far as a high end post house for rendering-only, that’ll get you no where. It’s the NLE….How the NLE preserves bits or reencodes them makes the difference, and Vegas is very good at this.Douglas Spotted Eagle

As a general rule, no. You can’t tell the difference from one app’s output from another. The whole idea is to keep the bits as similar to the bits acquired from the camera. The camera is the most critical component (initially) in how an image appears.
20K for rendering might be applicable if they’ve got a lot of compositing and render times keep a machine down. Vegas is the only editor that can have multiple copies running at once. Machine time is expensive, and operator costs aren’t cheap, not in a high end house.
They might be using Final Cut Studio with Shake, Motion, etc, and render times for composited works can get really expensive.Douglas Spotted Eagle

Dante,
There are myriad encoders for mp4. you can download a codec pack from a variety of places, and it’s possible that your ‘brand’ of mp4 might play, or not. If they’re created in DivX, for example, they might be in an mp4 container, but they won’t play in Movie Studio.
Like most codec containers, there can be a variety of encoding tools that aren’t readable in a lot of different NLE or reader tools. No fun, but there it is.
You might use Gspot to determine the encoding and that may lead you to finding a decoder that will allow Vegas to read the file.
If you have Quicktime Pro installed, it might allow Vegas Movie Studio to read the file.Douglas Spotted Eagle

avchd isn’t the same as mp4.

Vegas Movie Studio doesn’t support MP4 to the timeline.

This forum doesn’t support piracy.
If you have a DRM’d Blu-ray DVD, that’s the *only* thing it can be.Douglas Spotted Eagle

Most of your plugs won’t work in the 64 bit version yet.
