1.- If I record 24P-DV… what do I need to do if I mix other DV-footage that is not 24P originally recorded?
—The quick and dirty option is to just dump it on your 24p timeline. The results can be pretty good actually. There are “better” ways to do it, convert your 60i footage to 24p, Magic Bullet and DVfilm come to mind right off the bat. I think there are some other tools as well…
2.- If I record HDV… can I mix normal DV footage on my timeline with HDV files… will the final quality be different ?
—I’ve had great luck mixing HDV and DV on a single timeline. Color correction can get a little funky because you are mixing color spaces but it’s not as bad as I feared. If your going to DV or mpeg-2 just make sure you are monitoring on an NTSC monitor.
3.- Is the Cineform Connect HD software recomended for editing HDV ? (besides the codec included in Vegas…)
—I’ve been having great success with the JVC 24p and Cineform. It slurps in the footage no problem and the results look great, performance has been better than with 60i from the Z1. Easily worth the money.
Hope this helps

Have to agree with EOR – true progressive and the form factor of a standard camera with standard lens. Also the focus assist is really well done, in my opinion much better than the Z1 or HVX.

Is this DV or HDV. DV straight (no effects) should playback fine realtime on that quick a system (p4 3.2). HDV, specifically raw m2t, will playback kinda choppy. Are you playing back from the same harddrive as your system drive? Is DMA enabled for your drive? More system info & specifics would help.

“have spend 15 hundred plus dollars on consultations and hardware.”
Holy cats – I guess this begs the question…what kind of system are you running?

I had a similar situation – big room, but want it to sound like a small room – more intimate. Just for the heck of it I used Noise Reduction – sampled just a teeny -tiny portion of the ambience. Holy Cow – it was like magic, no teaking or nothing, it went from big empty hall to intimate carpeted room instantly. I really recommend giving it a try, just might do the trick, I was amazed at how well it killed the ambience.

Nancy sums it up but the basic argument for Vegas is;
Workflow, stability, easy, awesome audio tools, really fast, you can drop almost any kind of media on the timeline.
Hope this helps,

I remember hearing something about Quicktime 7 and animation codec problems – a return to 6 seemed to solve the problem. Not sure if this helps but…

I’m betting what you are seeing is called overscan. Most televisions crop off about 5 to 10 percent of the outside of the image, your computer monitor does not have overscan so you see the whole thing.
This is why Vegas has title safe areas, etc. Hope this helps

Just to follow up – uninstalled Vegas as well as the codec that comes with Cineform 2.1 as per Cineforms instructions (had to re-install Connect HD and then re-uninstall it and select remove codec instead of leave it there) Then re-installed Vegas and everything was good to go.
The registration process, combined with no land line DSL and very dodgy wireless, turned into a rather epic endeavor – but I’ll probably save that story for a later time, it’s late…
Thanks for the help everybody!

I’ve used the datapath cards and they work pretty good – kind of spendy though. Might be cheaper just to get 4 monitors
hope this helps
