Hi John, thanks for your post.

I have tried what you and Mike suggested: new project with setting: PAL DV Widescreen (720×576, 25.000 fps) and nothing…

Uploading a file so you can see the diference between what VLC displays and what vegas displays:

1732_vlsvsvegas.jpg.zip

the video on the left monitor is from VLC and on the right from vegas.

thank you

[John Rofrano] “You may have changed too many things in your current project. I would start over and do as Mike recommends. Start a new project with the project setting: PAL DV Widescreen (720×576, 25.000 fps). Drop your footage onto the timeline and it should look perfect.”

Hi Mike,

I have tried that. Now the video looks widescreen it cropped out a portion of the video (bottom and top).
This is not a solution cos I loose a lot of theimage in the original frame.

is there another way?

may thanks

[Mike Kujbida] “Make sure your Project Properties are set to PAL DV Widescreen, drop a clip on the timeline, open up Pan/Crop, right-click in the centre and select Match Output Aspect.
Let me know if that helps.”

Hi Mike,

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.
I have tried that and it doesn’t work. I get the black horizontal bars on the sides and the video it self remais almost “square”.

I have imported the same files in FCP and it opens fine, widescreen etc. Although when I open the FORMAT it shows me all the info about the file and it says:

Vid Rate: 25 fps
Frame Size: 720×576
Compressor: DV PAL
Data Rate: 3.6 MB/s
Pixel Aspect: PAL – CCIR 601

How do I make this look the same in Vegas?

kind regards

Joao

Thanks Mike,
I will try that this afternoon when I get to the studio.
Very happy that I found FileConverter.

hi Deirdre O’Lavery,

thanks for your post. It is really fast…amazing little app. It would be really nice if they implemented unlimited batch processing though…

Do I need to further process these files in cineform for editing in vegas or these will work fine?

Thank you for you help,

kind regards

Mike,

Did that, still doesn’t work.

Install the mac version on my macbook air and it works just fine.

It only converts 4 files at a time?
I have a folder with just under 100 files. This will take forever.

thanks

I get the error saying:

“Windows cannot open this file:
File: FileConverter.jar”

From the FileConverter website:

“Note that with the PC version, if windows reports “Can not open java .jar file”, please install: Java Runtime Environment”.

I have installed it (versions 6 update 24), installed 2 older versions that were on my pc, but still get the same error message. Also tried uninstalling FileConverter several times and nothing.

What else can I try?

kind regards

Joao

[Joao carlos Schwalbach]

correct.

I can’t run file convertor. it gives me an error and asks me to point to a program to open it.
Maybe it is java related, will check it out ans post back.
thanks
