Thanks for your reply. Specifically, how can I be sure that the render matches the source material exactly, since Movie Studio usually completes 50% of the render then reports an “error”?

I have decided to reformat my drive. Thank you for your suggestions. I just got an hp HPE-480t with a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-960 quad-core [3.2GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache] and 12 gb ram (6 dimms). That should be good enough to smart render shouldn’t it?

Ok. I tried what Terry said. I just captured a minute or two of thevideo instead of the whole thing to see how the AVI file would do in Vegas. The files did output from the HV30 as AVI files, and when dropped into Vegas both the video and audio appeared in their tracks. However, the video played, but the audio was silent. I can see the audio in the track, but I cannot hear it. I checked my speakers and they are fine. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again so much.

Thanks for your suggestion Terry. I had a little trouble with an AVI file earlier in Vegas, but I will try what you said to see if I have any success.

Thanks so much for the response. I did try to capture from the HV30 to Vegas and have the camera output in standard definition. It worked, but the video was output as an AVI. I did not see an option on the camera or in Vegas as to which format the capture could be output as. It seems it was output as an AVI by default. Vegas just prompts me to capture as DV or HDV, and that is about it.

As far as the Gearshift software. I am not too sure of what a “proxy” file is (I’m new to this video stuff). It sounds like it is a file I can use a replacement when editing my video, to make the editing easier, then swap the HD version back in after editing before I render, and the HD video will take the place of the proxy file. Is that it? The only thing I am afraid of is that if I swap the HD file back in, the rendered video will be too large to fit on my DVD, or the HD files wil begin to fill my external hardrive very quickly. I think the HD file of the christmas play I videoed ended up being about 9GB. How will that fit on a DVD? I know I have alot of questions, but I really appreciate your patience and willingness to help a beginner in need of help. Thanks again.
