Thank you Dave for the info. As I do this as a hobby and not a living
I appreciate the help. Can I pose this senario to you?. If I capture footage from the camera using 1 external microphone on the camera & I turned the other one off, then downloaded it to vegas. I would expect have 1 Video track and 1 Audio track (with 2 waveforms). If I used 2 external microphones wouldn’t I have 1 Video track 2 Audio tracks (totalling 4 waveforms) or is that to simplistic. Cheers
Jo

Hi Tim, There was no difinative answer to problems I was having with scan lines in Vegas 8 BUT I noticed the problems occured in video
clips I had used the ‘pan/crop’ tool. Weird hey! Vegas tends to have these idiosyncrasies. I to have moved on to Vegas 10. Touch wood, I haven’t had the movement or rendering problems since, but I did upgraded my computer to an I7 with 12mb ram. The 64bit system seems to be more stable. But there are always issues. I now have to post one on audio capture in Vegas 10 using XLR audio.
Good luck with problems. Jo

Hi John, Thank you for your input. The first thing I did
was render in mepg-2. DVd Achitect Pal (Australia) widescreen
video stream. Ac3 audio seperate file. burn disc in Architech 4.5. works a treat. but scan lines in fast movement
worse. Then I was told to try burn back to HDV tape. then burn component out to DVD burner, still have problem.
could it be a propressive scan setting I’m getting wrong.

cheers Jo Payne

Thank you Douglas for your response. I send video back to camera via tools option on Vegas “print video to HDV tape”,
then burn DVD straight from camera. I’ve played back dvd
on tv & computer same interlace problem..

I have has the same HDV capture problems but with vegas 7.
I have tried everything. I know its a software problem
because the same error & crash problems occur on both relatively new computers. I have now been told it is a
conflict problem with Mpeg-2 files as HDV captures in M2t
files something must be on my computer that is conflicting
with Vegas eg:- other editing software. I dont know how to
fix it. someone must. good luck

Rick, Thank you, I really appreciate your response. I tried
your suggestion & went to render a 2min video but it still
crashed & lodged off with same message after 70%.

I have a sony HDV-fx7 camera. With Ilink set to ON & video
preferences set to ‘Use external video Cap’, your setting
& properties template at ‘HDV 1080-50i’. Vegas works a treat.
Not one problem, perfect. BUT when you view final video
its very poor quality, movement is blurred etc.

I then put Ilink set to OFF, untick ‘Use External Vid Cap’
your setting & cap in HD. Quality is perfect BUT crashing problem occurs & program is slow. I don’t know what else to
try. Please help. Cheers
