Thanks for the input. I was looking at something like the panasonic AG-HMC150 or some similar unit. My computer has been great for vegas so far but it is quite a bit behind what you are suggesting (pentium 4 cpu 3.06Ghz 1gb ram on windows xp pro). What do you feel is the biggest advantage of upgrading to pro 11? And finally is there a problem when you film and edit in mixing HD and SD, or is that something you would never do? Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I mostly film corporate videos used at trade shows or for marketing. I have seen some HD cameras for around 2300 – the Panasonic SD camera I have was fairly easy to learn so unless it is very complicated the basics of the camera should be simple. Thanks.

Thanks Mike, I appreciate it. I downloaded the zip and will take a look later today. Have a good one!

Thanks guys, grat ideas. My wife gave me a great analogy, she said that it’s like a photography studio, they always retain the proofs. This helps me a great deal. I thought I would get a different opinon than the one I had, which is hey, this is my livelihood. I make my money by filming AND editing. Why would I give them the raw product to have someone else do future edits.
Have a great weekend guys!

Thanks for the response. I had another response tell me to try to open them in microsoft paint and if they opened there they were not corrupted, so I did, and then saved them again using paint, and now they go into vegas just fine. I will take a look at the ones I did before to see if they were saved in anything other than RGB. Have a great day!

Thanks Steve, I’ve never heard of that software before but I will download it and give it a try. Have a good day!

[Michael O’connor]

Got it working. Thanks anyway.

[Michael O’connor]

For whatever reason, it is working now. I had restarted my computer before but that didn’t help. I just restarted it again and now it is showing the correct time available.??? Thanks anyway gang.

[Michael O’connor]

Thank you, that really helps clear things up. As always I appreciate the help. Enjoy your day.
