My Sony Vegas 9.0b Platnum Edition Won't Read My Raw .mp4 Footage

RazMansReality — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:56:01 GMT

Hello,

Just a couple quick things first before I talk about my issue. Firstly I'm sorry if this problem has already been sloved in the past. There are a 104 pages in this section that I would have had to go though so just please link me to the other topic if there is one then close this one. Secondly I had another account here that I tried to recover my password to but I never got sent a recovery email so staff please just close my The Raz Man account.

OK so my tile is my issue. I've been having it for about 3-4 weeks now. At first I just thought it was because my trial version was about to expire and it was having issues which was fine since I love the program and was going to buy it anyway. However since getting my Pro Pack from Amazon.com it has continued. I just checked to make sure my Quicktime player software is updated and it is. Can anyone please help me get Vegas to read.mp4 again. When I first had the tiral version it read.mp4 fine but now it has just stopped. My raw footage from my Flip Ultra HD camcorder shoots in .mp4 so if I have to convert my files each time it's going to start eating up my time and become very annoying. Below is a prict Screen of the error message I keep seeing. Thank you in advance for your help.

ADVC300 & AVT 8710 issues

Tafflad — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:41:12 GMT

OK .. not sure if this is h/w or s/w so will post here.

Capturing a load of PAL SVHS tapes to DV AVI for edit with Sony Vegas.

Using the following set up ..
P'sonic HS800 AVT 8710 ADVC300 PC

I initially bought the ADVC300, then after reading many posts that say that this is NOT a full frame TBC, added the AVT 8710.

Now I'm hitting trouble.

Seen some very strange results � eg a VHS tape has an opening sequence of black, then some title text, after about 10 sec , a then second title screen, followed 10sec later by gradual fade in of video.
If I play the tape .. this works fine.

When I digitized it without TBC all digitized OK, however when I digitized with the 8710 in the path, the resulting capture has the first title screens OK, but when the second screen comes in the first stays .. so ends up with a text overlay mix.
If I look at frames individually they are correct, but when I play the DV file it�s screwed �.. weird ?
The rest of the video seems to have captured OK �
Thinking it something stupid � I cleaned video heads, and ran capture again � same thing?

Noticed that I getting some frame loss when I use the 8710 compared to when it is not in circuit.

Is there something I need to do here ��.. could there be interaction between 8710 & ADVC300 ? or is it something else?

Do I need to turn anything off on ADVC300 ?

Your top ten films of all time.

vertovian — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:52:52 GMT

Just for fun.

Rules -

You must have seen the film and own the film on DVD.

You must be choosing your top ten from at least 100 other DVDs you currently own.

You must be a proper film fan - not a mook. ;-)

Post your top ten, and some back and edit it when u add or remove anything. Might fly ?

Video encoding tool

caezar — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:34:48 GMT

Hi All,

I realize that such thread for sure was already discussed on this forum. But I've done a lot of googling (on this forum too) and wasn't able to find the answer for my question. The question is - video encoding tool.

So, could someone advice me with the tool, which meets the criterias below:
- batch processing
- consistent set of profiles (presets): I don't want to play with dozens of codec settings. I want just to select profile, set the quality level and launch encoding. Especially I need a profile for android devices (.mp4) and some profiles for home video encoding (.avi)
- basic video and audio transformations: resize, crop and volume level gain
- audio streams control.

While a single piece of software which meets all criterias would be great, it also be good to find several tools: one for android and one for home video (batch processing and video transformations might not be needed here).

Thanks!

To use a video library or not????? and if so which..???

SamJolly — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:25:07 GMT

Hi,

I am pretty new to this. I am wanting to put together a small promo video on the web. The initial idea is to keep it simple, but of a high quality with music and key messages. Actually one of my ideas is to use images linked to form a movie.

However one thought that is being considered is to use stock video material. However much of this is really expensive ie $80/15-30 secs. Do you have thoughts on this? Can you recommend a cheaper one? Clips should be downloadable.

Having looked around, I sort of think that it would be easier to just shoot what I need, but the quality would have to be there....

All views gratefully received,

Thanks,

Sam

Samsung MX10 Camcorder

Adlam — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:41:21 GMT

Hello, this is my first post here so please be gentle :)

Basically I have had the Samsung VP-MX10 camcorder for around 2 years now (SD card one) and its developed two problems.

First of all the battery does not seem to be holding charge (this is a replacement battery as the original stopped working altogether) for that long, any ideas on this?

Secondly, I have noticed a noise on the recordings, a noise that I can only describe as the SD card reading/writing but it is very noticeable on the recordings and quite distracting!

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Adlam :smile:

rode mic echo problem URGENT!

samiam2310 — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:00:58 GMT

Hello everybody,

I've got a new Rode NTG2 hooked up (directly) to a Panasonic HMC151.
When monitoring through headphones the audio is completely echoey, whether it's in input one or two, and whichever set of headphones I use.
HOWEVER, the playback from the mic is fine - it only seems to be cathedrally in recording mode - the audio in the edit is fine, I just can't tell what it's like when recording. The camera headphone output seems fine when playing the Rode footage back.
I'm on a shoot with it at the moment so please help!

Which software? (buying advice required)

Oat — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:13:08 GMT

Hi All
First post....

I have a barely used Sony DVD109E and am planning to get a Sony Bloggie for sport use and instant use. I also have an interest to change my DVD109E for a newer model / make that records straight to memory card.

What software options do i have that will cover all the above cameras?

Edit: i should add that when editted i would want to burn to DVD so that it will play on domestic DVD players.

My need is just for domestic but i would still like to have a reasonable number of options and effects.
My background to this is a media course i took at college around 15 years ago where i was best in grade for editing. I produced and edited movie trailers, music videos, adverts, teasers but all on a video suite (not PC) and using videos and huge cameras. I am therefor not up to date with formats and software.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice

Timeline Cursor Troubles...

xXxIcee — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 02:46:18 GMT

Hey everyone. I hope this question makes sense to ou guys.

I just recently acquired Sony Vegas Pro. 8 after having it beforehand and loosing it. Everything is fine setting wise, except for one tiny thing that bothers me very much, for it makes timing with my clips and music difficult. On my previous program (same version and everthing), the cursor on the timeline moved freely. It didn't jump immediately by seconds or frames, but it would just inch along in between. I could press down anywhere and it'd select exactly to that point.

However, now when I click somewhere, it jumps immediately to the nearest second. I've tried changing time format and everything else I could think of, but it still does this. It's very frustrating because it results in parts of my video being off beat. I would appreacite it very much if someone could help me change this so the cursor moves freely again. : )
