“I don’t know if your experience will be like mine, but Vegas 10 32 loves HDV and Vegas 10 64 does not.”
Not my experience. I have three Z1’s (HDV) and do multi-camera edits all the time. My previews and render/encodes are noticeably improved with Version 10C on my quad-core system running Win7, 64-bit.

You didn’t say what your PC specs are, but AVCHD requires a lot of processor horsepower. My quad-core 3GHz PC is barely enough to handle AVCHD files, but it works. You also don’t say where you are looking? Preview, final encoded DVD, You Tube?

How are you “re-opening”? the recommended way is to double-click on the veg file.

You don’t need to save the media – it is unchanged from the original. All you need to save is the veg file.

What irony. I blew my NAB budget on BCC.
I’ll see you there next year, though.Steve Mann

I just burned a DVD of a 1:52 project. Pretty vanilla, SD, one audio track. DVDA tried to say that my project was 5.0Gb. The sum total size of the mpg and ac3 files (according to Windows Explorer) was 4.3Gb. It burned with no problems.

Greg – AVCHD files are very compressed.
The only bulwark against the massive compression in AVCHD is sheer bone
crushing-processor power and blazing fast disk throughput.(Stolen quote but worth repeating often).

If you can add an external SATA disk to your laptop, you may see some improvement by moving your project files there. Even an external USB disk will be better than a single hard disk for everything.

Which flavor of HD?
A dual-core processor can handle HDV pretty well if you’re doing simple cots and fades with no FX.
AVCHD files are very compressed and the only bulwark against the massive compression in AVCHD is sheer bone crushing-processor power and blazing fast disk throughput. I have a quad-core 3GHz and AVCHD brings it to its knees.
