Have you looked at the Task Manager to check the Processor Affinity?
Processor utilization is a very poor metric of efficiency. It’s only accurate if it’s near or at 100%, then your processor is the bottleneck in the program.

If you were looking in the help file, all things on the timeline are events – not clips.

A possibility exists that a file exists that the encode process wants to create, and another process has it locked. Try encoding to a different filename.

You may call it fundamental, but in twelve years of editing this is a first. What NLE does this?

No, you’re correct. It’s been years since I had to align MOS video, but my process will not work because the markers can’t be linked to individual tracks.
New process:
Solo track A and find the point of impact. Drop a marker
Then solo Track B and do the same. Split the event on Track B and delete the left-half.
Make sure ripple is turned off.
Move the event on Track B to snap to the marker. Since you split the event on Track B at the same point of impact, the events are now in sync.
Drag the left edge of the event to restore the frames prior to the point of impact.Or you could just record with sound and use PluralEyes.

The best solution is a motion-tracking plug-in from Boris Continuum (BCC7). It’s also the most expensive one.
If you make the pan linear, you could get away with keyframing the position of the TV screen.Steve Mann

Are you just trying to sync the two events? (On the timeline it’s events, not clips).
Just solo track A and find the point of impact. Drop a marker
Then solo Track B and do the same.
Make sure ripple is turned off.
Drag the track with the earlier marker to the right until the markers are aligned.Steve Mann

[Bruce Aguinaldo] ”
1. can I use SV to capture the video directly from the Canopus?
2. in what format will SV capture the video in?
3. when I capture the video can I burn it directly to DVD (not sure I even need to do this)?”1. Yes, probably. If it doesn’t, then use the freeware program Scenalyzer.
2. DV AVI
3. No. A DVD needs an MPEG2 video file *and* an AC3 audio file. If you’re lazy you can let DVDA do the encoding for you. If you don’t care about menus you can make the DVD directly from the Vegas timeline. I’ve never done it that way, so I can’t help you with that.Once you ave the AVI files on the Vegas timeline, you can edit the movie all you wish, then encode an MPEG2 video file and an AC3 audio file to bring into DVDA to make the DVD. If you follow these steps you will get the best quality possible.

If your PC Motherboard doesn’t have a Firewire port, you can buy an add-in card for it. As I said, the ADVC300 to firewire is the best because there is practically no compression of the video data. (DV-AVI is compressed 5:1 but every frame is an i-frame, so practically none).
Failing that, use a Plextor Convertx (or similar) that takes the S-Video or component A/V and converts the video to MPEG2 and spits it out over a USB port. MPEG2 is compressed so there’s a quality loss in that step.
