Vegas 9 Compatibility

Yes that's a pain in the a**, but rewrapping is quite fast - almost as fast as a file copy.

We haven't done any extensive testing in Vegas 9 yet (with MOV) because most Windows users are doing AVI work, and we know AVI doesn't work right now.

We had a good meeting with the Sony people at NAB and there is mutual desire to get this finished. But we need to get through the PPro importer problems first....

is this something that is supported by Neo Scene or is this a $500 workaround?

Good point.

Why shouldn't Neo Scene do both avi and mov formats? We're already limited in resolution with Neo Scene so adding the mov format and a re-wrap, imho, wouldn't exactly be giving away the store.

At least, it would keep us happy until (I assume) a 64bit version comes out.

As for Vegas were it possible to come up with a generic 64bit wrapper-container for 32bit codecs and effects - in the manner that VST-DX-VST audio effect wrappers do -- that might be a stop-gap help? But truthfully - there's a lot more complexity and it might not be feasible and the result less than desired.

All in all - I'd rather have 64-bit native codec and filters.

There's no way of simply doing a rewrap, if all you have is NEO Scene, but there are alternative approaches (<< $500 US), if you want to use CFHD with 64 bit Vegas in the mean time:

those are interesting options but with the amount of footage I have, I imagine that Sony Vegas 10 would be out before those transcodes finished. A true rewrap would sure speed things along...

Can Cineform AVI files be used as input in Badaboom? If so, I could export a quick .mp4 file at 25MBPS and edit in 64-bit Vegas with that.

I'm interested in Vegas 9, but I'd have to give up Magic Bullet (which, admittedly, I'm using less and less of as I'm getting used to Vegas's native color correction tools).

However, I can always keep a 32-bit version of 8.0 on my system, right?

I've never been able to get Badaboom to read Cineform AVI files. I just checked again and it still doesn't work for me. The error message is, "Unsupported codec".

@Keith,

Look here:

I have tried avidemux, but I have no experience with the rest of the software mentioned in the thread.
