OK I see it gets compressed sooner or later.

what kind of file would the file be when the tape is downloaded? MPG2″ dv avi? Before vegas I don’t think I had anything that would edit it. That is why I said I would not have benefited from it. I had an editing deck way back that had a time base corrector. In fact I think it was a sony. It cost a thousand when a thousand was real money. But until Vegas I had nothing except nero and other stuff like that. Does this device keep the file interlaced or convert it to progressive scan? I’m not opposed to spending a little money because it is either spend it on me or give it to the rest home later. Old tapes have more than noise problems. What is your estimate of what the cost would be?

Obviously that would be better but this is the first time I have heard of this device. Canopus ADVC-55. At this late date things will have to stay as they are. Lots of the tapes have degenerated with age and not worth going over everything again. I have always been interested in top quality from my days with the Hassleblad 2 1/4 still camera like the one that went to the moon and Lica 35mm to 16mm film to Super VHS. I don’t think I would have benefited with the Canopus ADVC-55 before going to Vegas movie maker.

Do you mean we are capturing files off the disk in dv avi format? To maker a playable dvd we still have to burn as a mpg So how much better is that ?
where and how is the improvement? When I import the dvd it is imported as mpg. Right? I’ve only imported dvd’s with 2 channels. I import, edit, render, burn dvd. Where in the process do I make a better project with a dv avi file? They all wind up as a mpg file on a dvd. Where in this “import, edit, render, burn dvd” can I improve? Render to dv avi? It still has to get to the dvd as a mpg. I am not thinking of HD here. Vegas limits the resolution I think to a certain amount. -
Thanks I sincerely appreciate the information. There is always an opportunity to learn more.
Hope to see you

I’ve double checked the file sizes that Vegas will import in import camcorder dvd and it they are too small vegas will not import them. At least in a a separate file. Yesterday it imported sizes as small as 72 meg which may be about a minute and a half. Today the smallest size I checked was about 135 meg. Most people are not interested in V tape so will not be concerned. Sony should publish this information somewhere.

OK Thanks for the info. I use import DVD camcorder disk, I’ve never had any problems until this disk with the many small files.As far as VOB is concerned although I haven’t done it for a while VOB is an MPG file so all you have to do is change the extension to MPG. I didn’t know that about downloading because as I understand Vegas does not save files unless requested other than the download and I think vegas quality is better than standard VHS. So the conversion from vhs to mpg is the only conversion there is to degrade the video . Also putting it into an avi file means another step outside vegas. Importing with vegas breaks it up into chapters which is convenient. Besides VHS is pretty bad already. I have already imported my tapes and only wanted to select some scenes from the tape onto the DVD and see how that works in a new project. It’s harder to work on a Vegas screen than a TV screen when selecting scenes. I dont think vegas can handle the small files because I have never had a problem importing DVD into vegas before this.
HAND (have a nice day)Hope to see you

I have done some more checking on these files in the project media window. The ones that show video are from 70 megs to 167 megs The ones that do not show video were short events
on the disc. down to 12 seconds. The 2 files I checked that did show video were more than a minute. I didn’t check all of them.I am inclined to think either the files are too small for Vegas or perhaps a combination of too many files and short files. The DVD I made plays just fine in a separate tv with dvd player.
The tape in question is a tape I made several years ago and is the standard VHS tape. Before this I copied the entire tape onto a disk then imported the disk in Vegas and did the editing into the events I wanted in Vegas. For what I am doing now it is actually easier to select the events from the tape and put them on the dvd then import. But that is not working.
What I am going to try is create a disk with fewer files or longer files but not a whole minute long and see if I can get it to work that way. I think the files are too small for Vegas.

Do you consider Verbatim as good as Taiyo Yuden? It would easier to go with verbatim. I found that dealing with online people has it’s problems when you need service.
