I too am looking for this. Someone on the ML forum got it to work, but their English was bad and they didn’t follow up.

Anyone with any update?

[Shane Etter]

yup, much agreed.

now how to proceed. is there an official channel for asking for this from Sony Vegas authors. In other words, is there an official “feature request” we/I can use?

is that what we should do?

[Shane Etter]

right, Dave, things are moving fast!

theres the ‘raw2dng’ executable which extracts the DNG files– not so bad, but I couldn’t get Vegas to import those at all. strangely, it sees the *.raw files (but wont import), but not *.dng (not even recognized)

[Shane Etter]

yes, I know.
it outputs a “video” file in the .raw format, but Vegas cannot import it. the raw file is a flat file output from the sensor without compression.
in order to get it importable, you have to go thru the batch steps I listed, then import them frame-at-a-time en masse (into your NLE) and then it will be a video.

im just wondering if there are others trying to work with .raw

[Shane Etter]

thats a great option… but $1999 for plugins is a little steep for me at this point.

im looking for “must have freebies” like exist in the audio VST land.

[Shane Etter]

awesome, thank you! i’ll try these out asap.

Anyone else?
im looking for filters and plugins that really destroy the video.

good lord dave— thank you for the time it took to type this out. all good information here.

so the highest i can put threads at is 4. is this normal?
i tried to move it to 8 because i have two quad core xeons (so eight logical cores altogether)

also, my buffer setting was at 128mb. i have 8gb of RAM altogether. should i make it more or less?

thanks for all this!

[Shane Etter]

Thanks John, for the reply.
but i respectfully disagree that this is the cause.
I should have mentioned that on the side, i run this pc as my main DAW with latency in the microseconds, so im pretty sure its good and setup right. in Cakewalk Sonar X1, the developer confirmed you needed a tweak to allow Sonar to handle more than two processors at a time. Also Windows 7 needs some tweaks.

watching vegas– at least this version of Vegas MSP9b– render video it will go all the way up to exactly and precisely 50% and no further.
so either Vegas isnt threading across 8x CPU’s/two physical processors right, or when it calls to Win7 its not telling it to.

Any other thoughts?
Can anyone with more than 4x CPU’s confirm that Vegas will utilize at or near 100% of the available CPU?

[Shane Etter]

yep, i wandered here because i googled the samsung sc-hmx20c and “vegas problems”…i bought vegas 9 because i thought it would better handle the realtime preview of files. no such luck.
((for the record, if i import the m4t files as-is and render out into one long file, then reimport, the file plays back in the preview window WITHOUT ISSUE))

so i got the mp4 to avi converter. got it working.
also bought the elecard converter studio. but for some reason, i cant find a reasonable template to transcode the mp4’s into a good .ts file which will import into vegas. im also having an issue making a template that doesnt crash Vegas.

can anyone help me out?
