So David,
You are saying that when rendering AVCHD you have obeserved Vegas utililizing all 8 cores. That implies it could use more cores if it had them.

Can you actually tell how many of the 8 cores are being used?

Are you running 32 bit or 64 bit? What operating system. Was Vegas Locking up on your dual core?

JOhn,
Is there any way to use this moving function on an event basis rather than the whole track?

Robert,
I have used a pair of them for 6 months now.
If I were in your place, I would not hestite to buy three NX5U cameras.
You can record in SD mode, which stores it as mpeg2 on your storage.
If you want to do a multicamera shoot, you can plug into the composite output to your switcher.
If you want to go HD, just swith a setting and you are in HD.
You can choose the HDSDI output jack and connect into a HD switcher, if you want live switching.I purchased the storage device, I think it goes for $1k. I love that feature so much for my workflow. However, it is detacheable , so if you are afraid of a student absconding with it, just have each student bring there own SD cards.

Adam,
I was where you are now.
I convert using the Cineform codec before I even think about editing.It makes editing as easy as uncompresssed.
1. Buy Cineform NeoScene. You can buy it from Videoguys for about $125.
2. Copy mts files to your computer.
3. Run Cineform Neoscene and it will batch convert your mts files to avi.
4. Use the AVI files in the editor.Option 2. This is the one that I currently use.
1. I bought Cineform Neoscene.
2. I copy mts files to my computer
3. I load all my mts files into the timeline in Vegas Pro, the editor I use.
4. Vegas Pro already knows that the Cineform codec is registered on my computer. I tell Vegas to render all the files into one long file and render in HD with the cineform codec.
5. After hours, I have one long avi file. I don’t like the small files created by the 2 Gig file size limit, that is why I concatenate them this way.
6. I put that avi file into the timeline and edit away.John Lenihan

Don’t give up yet.
It is indeed the design to segment the files into 2 gig. I doubt it is the design to drop a random amount of frames.My theory is that the randomness has to do with where the I frame is compared to the calcuted frames in each GOP at the end of each 2 gig segment.
People have reported that in some cases different editors handle that join function better than others.
You may want to
1. Try joining the files using the software that came with the camera.
2. Try laying out the files in a different editor.John Lenihan

David,
Since you are doing court reporting, you are probably using a visible timecode.
Are you dropping a frame or two at the boundaries, or half a second? That would be 15 frames.
What editor are you using to create the one video DVD?

Hi Mike,
Welcome to the forum. This is a place to share information and pool our understandings to use the Sony NXCAM.
The way you phrase the question makes it sound like you expect one of us to sell the camera to you while you sit back with your arms crossed.
Won’t happen.
I suggest reading the posts and replies and research the specs. If you have specific questions, someone can answer it.
You also did not mention the purpose of your purchase. This product is good for some things and not others. So when you ask your questions, tell us what you are trying to accomplish.

To John, Aleksy, and Sam,
Almost, but not yet.
1. Ultimate S Pro auditor, Production Assistant, and the script that Sam just sent all work the same. It removes all the gaps on each track, one track at a time.
2. The Vegaseur auditor is closest, it generates a list and if you work it backwords, selecting in the timeline, pressing delete, it finds only those spots where there is nothing in any track.
3. Here is a sample clip I made and uploaded. IF I uploaded it correctly.
