Never mind, I got it.
For some reason, I lost some registry entries, after reinstall Vegas, it did recognize the files as Sony motion JPEG.
However, working with them was painfully slow.
Far below the speed I expected from my quadcore 😉
After some googling, found recommendations on Morgan Multimedia.
I tried it, but Vegas could get red frames only.
After playing around with settings, I found that SSE2 option has to be switched off. So Vegas can use the codec properly.Thanks for your attention.

Hi,
[John Rofrano] “Get a VGA to DVI adapter (most new video cards come with these already).”
I guess what you mean is really a DVI to VGA adapter, which is quite simple, and indeed, it is bundled to any newly bought videocard. It is simple, because by standard, DVI outputs analog signals also, which are required by VGA monitors. The analog signals are the same on DVI and VGA (DSUB-15).
DVI also outputs digital signals, which are the exact same as on HDMI. So, a DVI to HDMI adapter is quite simple as well. Because the signals are the same, just the connectors differ.I mean both DVI-VGA and DVI-HDMI does not require any circuit, they are just connector adapters.
But a VGA to HDMI adapter would reqiure some ADC (analog to digital converter) to handle the analog VGA signals, and a HDMI encoder, which is not so simple, and needs to be paid…
I bet, a new card with 2 DVI outputs is more cost effective and better solution.Regards

Hi,
Simply type it. I guess, you have a french keyboard, so you can type it.
If you dont get the exact letter, then chage the font. I’m hungarian, and I had problems with our letters “őűÃú”. Some fonts allow to type them in vegas, some don’t.If you still need a particular font, which does not allow to type your special char in vegas, try to type your text in photoshop, and add it as graphic. This workaround helped me hudred times. 😉

Hi,
Generally, all devices sold in Europe support NTSC as well. So, there will be no problem playing an NTSC DVD in Europe.
Let this know your client.
Anyway, you can convert your material to PAL easyly.
I’d set up my project properties to PAL 4:3 and put the NTSC media into it.
Then render the project as mpeg2 PAL. The DVDA PAL videostream template will be OK for you.
In DVDA there’s nothing special, except that you have to work with PAL tmeplates. (Single movie or menu based).Regards

Hi,
My opinion on 24p:
I think for video 30fps (or 25 fps -depending on system PAL/NTSC) is better.
I think 24p is for people who likes those somewhat jittery movements like seen on real film-movies.I personally hate this effect.
I like 50i (or in your country 30i) much better.
I’m quite sure, that videographer can shoot in 30i, which you are used to. Just ask for it 😉

Hi there!
Check if you can see your ADVC in the windows device manager.
My ADVC50 shows up in device manager under imaging devices as AVC compliant device.
If you don’t find it, check if your firewire port is present – shows up as OHCI compliant controller.Regards

Oh yes, I think. Try main profile @ main level. Reduce bitrate to 8Mbps, to my knowlegde 8Mbps is the maximum allowed to DVD video.

Hi,
To avoid recompress video by DVDA, your mpeg2 has to be DVD compliant. Maybe your render changes make your mpeg2 not DVD compliant.
Another point, if you work in PAL (just like I do) make sure your DVDA project is for PAL as well.
If you accidentally put a DVD compliant PAL mpeg into an NTSC DVDA project, DVDA will recompress it.Regards

Hi there,
One thing I can add, is to compare Edius 5 to Vegas.
Not now, but few weeks later. Our guitar lessons has to be done in Edius, my partner needs it so (he is the boss in some meaning ;)).
And I have to learn it at least to be able to do keyframed croppings, along with some multitrack.And a question:
What is “offline editing”?Regards
