Thank you to you both. I couldn’t find a 10.0 download link on my own. I thought Sony was trying to force me into an upgrade. As usual, I was wrong.

Thanks again.

Ugh, I thought you were supposed to ADD features when you update a product. Not take them away. 🙁 But, good to know that it’s not the usual “it’s there right in front of your face, Steve, you just missed it.” 🙂

It was a lot more convenient to render the sequence right in Vegas rather than having to use another app. Probably easist to just put the clip in Vegas 8 and do it that way.

Also, as always, thank you for your help. This forum has saved me a lot of time.

I feel like such a NOOB!!! I’ve been using that feature in Pro 8.0 for years. Just brain-farted on how to make it happen. Thank you both for your help.

[Steve Hardeman]

John, first of all, regardless if I figure this out or not, thank you very much for trying to help me.

Honestly, I have no idea how to find a CODEC and once I do I have no idea how to install a CODEC. So, I am going to search this forum for how to do both of those things but if anyone happens to read this and knows a good explanatory link, let me know.

That 32bit/64bit stuff always throws me for a loop. Guess it’s time to educate myself on that.

According to GSpot
My Audio CODEC is:Codec 0x00ff (AAC)
My Video CODEC is: Codec H264 Name: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC

And in reference to John Rofrano, you may be onto something. I have very little experience with CODECS but the video CODEC looks pretty standard. The Audio one looks not so standard. When my buddy loaded this footage into Pinnacle the first time he got what I quoted in my last post. When he tried it a second time, it would show the video but no audio. Perhaps for some reason Pinnacle will process the normal part(video) but not the non-normal part(audio). Perhaps Vegas just says “Hey, this ain’t gonna work 100% so we’re I’m not putting it in the timeline at all”

Well, my hope was to run off and try what you proposed. Then come back and give you a huge THANK YOU. But it’s not meant to be I guess. 🙁 I did have someone earlier today tell me that saying something is in “AVI” is like saying I drive a car. There are lots of versions of AVI. I did not know that. But hey, I’m learning.

I did try your solution and made sure Quicktime was installed and did everything it said to do. But when I load up the clip in question I just get a blank box. If I hit play it’ll run thru the timeline but there’s no video and no audio. And just for shats and giggles, I did try to convert it but it’s just a blank file. Nothing in it.

To troubleshoot I did load up an mp4 file and that worked fine. So the squared5 install works just fine.

If anybody recognizes this, maybe it would help. It was shot on the HD setting of a Insignia NS-DV720P 5MP Digital Camcorder. El Cheapo. Not my camera!!! 🙂

I had a friend of mine try to load the content into Pinnacle. Not sure if his reply is better or worse than Vegas’ inability to recognize it at all:
“pinnacle HD (the newest version) imports it
but its all messed up, like I can see two of the subject
and there are lines going across the video
and no sound”

Anyway, I’m gonna keep playing with it. If anyone has any additional suggestions, I’m all ears.

Thank you.

[Steve Hardeman]

Works perfectly. Thank you.

[Steve Hardeman]

Thank you to both of you. 🙂

[Steve Hardeman]

You are right. It does look great. Unfortunately, it comes out to about 60MB/minute which is about three times larger than I can use. I do appreciate your assistance though. If anyone else has any ideas, let me know.

Thanks.

Steve
