I too had this problem when transferring files off my 32 GB CF card. I purchased a couple of readers before I came an article on the web suggesting I use the Sandisk Imagemate card reader. It cost $50 and was only available online in Australia. My read speeds went from 3 mbps to 28 mbps. Make sure you get the Imagemate that has the card slot you need. I think that there are 2 models.

Al, I have an NVidia GTX570 and replaced my power supply as it was affecting my RAID setup and crashing Vegas and ultimately, Windoze. I replaced my 650W power supply with a 1050W unit.

Unfortunately, Vegas 11 still crashes on me. The latest, introduced by the most recent update, has really got me peeved. To reproduce it, I simply add a color correction FX to an event on the timeline. Make any adjustment. Exit the FX. Go back into the tweak the FX. The colour wheels are no longer visible and Vegas has a siesta – not responding.

This happens at random to other FX such as contrast and brightness, where the sliders do not appear.

I don’t use SVP11. The CUDA ‘upgrade’ for SVP11 has got to be the biggest con.

I used to record live events in SD and HDV, delivering as a SD DVD. I found the SD footage recorded at 8 mbit/s to be a bit softer and muddier after I colour corrected, added FX and transitions and so forth. The HDV footage which was recorded at 24 mbit/s, which has a lot more data to work with from the start, was not impacted by the same colour grading process.

However, if you are going to record and store ANY event over 70 minutes on DVD, you WILL suffer image loss as you try to cram more and more video data on the DVD. I don’t generally store more than 90 minutes on a DVD as video quality tends to suffer above that.

The footage is part of a multicam shoot and has been heaviliy edited using infiniticam. Can I rename, swap or replace the media as you suggested and still preserve the edit, or will i have to start over?

You might also want to adjust the color curves to boost the overall intensity, and by selecting colour channel (R, G or B), selectively boost or reduce that color.

You will need to fine tune by eye using the mid and high color wheels of the color corrector fx to remove the color cast, or apply the secondary color corrector fx and tweak that.

I have seen and corrected much worse 🙂

I think I understand the question 🙂

You can store about 70 minutes of video on a DVD and (I think) about 2.5 hours on a bluray before you have to start thinking about adjusting the bit rate, be it CBR or VBR, depending on your circumstances, to find the length of video onto the media.

Whilst you can squeeze more on either media by playing with bit rates, it does so at the cost of image quality. You can get away with 90 minutes on a DVD, but 110 to 120 minutes is starting to compromise quality.

I thought leaving quantize to frames enabled is a no-no and can result in audio sync issues, or have I got it wrong?

1. Uninstall Vegas 11
2. Uninstall Vegas 10
3. Install Vegas 11

Your projects will remain unaffected. Anything Vegas wants to open will now HAVE to open in Vegas 11.

As the other posters suggest, you need to be very organised and structured. See you after about 60 hours of editing :-).

John beat me to it.

I was going to suggest the same. I believe MTV videos made it popular in the previous decade.
