Yes, exactly my problem, except it is not just one clip, it is all of them. And I have just double-checked, the problem still exists in Vegas 9.0e. It is only with the files produced by the nF. The .mxf files created by my EX3 do not have that problem. So, clearly, the problem is with the nano.

Adam, this was the case for only one MXF file created by the Nano. The MP4 file recorded in parallel by the EX1 from its BPAV folder played the audio in Vegas.

Adam Stanislav · July 14th, 2010, 08:00 PM

What I meant was that all of my nano clips have that problem.

Dear Adam,

Are you saying that all files that you record on the nanoFlash are such that the audio is not played in your copy of Sony Vegas 9.0e?

Does the audio play in Sony's Clip Viewer, version 2.30 or the VLC Player?

Adam Stanislav · July 15th, 2010, 12:31 PM

Dan, we went through this months ago, and I stopped using my nF after that (what is the point of using it if I cannot get any sound out of it?).

It plays in VLC, but there is no sound in Vegas. Not in 9.0c which I used back then, not in 9.0e which I use now.

As you can see in the picture, the entire sound time line shows nothing. And no sound plays either. None whatsover. Nada. Zilch.

Dear Adam,

I wanted to be certain what you meant by "that" problem.

Your situation is unusual.

As I understand it:

You can record video and audio in your nanoFlash.

When you play back the files in your nanoFlash you have video and audio.

When you play the files in VLC Player you have video and audio.

When you play the files in Sony Vegas 9.0e, you have no audio.

This certainly sounds like a Sony Vegas problem to me.

Just yesterday, one of my friends had problems with video capture with his Sony Vegas 9.0e. A simple download and re-install fixed the problem.

As far as I know, no one else has your symptoms.

I just checked my Sony Vegas 9.0e, using one of our sample files with audio, and it plays fine.

Adam Stanislav · July 15th, 2010, 01:11 PM

This has nothing to do with video capture, Dan. And my Vegas has no problem with the sound of any other source.

Had you offered me to upload one of my own files and checked it out, I would have been much more impressed. As it is, I feel robbed of thousands of dollars with no recourse.

Dan Keaton · July 15th, 2010, 01:30 PM

Dear Adam,

I will be happy to have you upload one of your files.

We want you to be happy.

Are the other files that you are playing successfully in your copy of Sony Vegas Sony XDCam 50 Mbps 4:2:2? You may be using other codecs, which may work fine.

It still sounds like a Vegas issue to me. I will send you our file upload instructions.

Then we will play your files in our copy of Sony Vegas 9.0e.

Dan Keaton · July 15th, 2010, 01:40 PM

Dear Adam,

I have emailed you our file upload instructions and my phone numbers.

Adam Stanislav · July 15th, 2010, 04:56 PM

Thank you, Dan, I have uploaded the file. The other MXF files I have are from the EX-3, which, I believe, is 35 Mbps 4:2:0. However, it is the audio I do not get, the video is flawless and well worth it.

Tommy Schell · July 15th, 2010, 05:14 PM

Hi,

the uploaded file is a 1080p30 "true 30" file, as opposed to the more commonly used 29.97 frame rate.
True frame rates have at best limited support in most NLE's - unfortunately Vegas does not play the audio in this case.

Adam Stanislav · July 15th, 2010, 06:51 PM

OK, I have now told Vegas to use the 29.97 drop-frame rate instead, and it still does not play the audio.

Any solutions?

Dan Keaton · July 15th, 2010, 06:54 PM

Dear Adam,

Tommy was saying that the frame rate of the take was True 30 frames a second.

Can you please set your camera to record in the normal 1080p29.97 instead of 1080p30 (True).

Sony Vegas does not play audio when the frame rate is True 30 frames a second.

Adam Stanislav · July 15th, 2010, 07:14 PM

It did not come from my camera, it came from the HDMI port of my computer. As you may recall, one of the main reasons for me getting the nano was to be able to capture my computer screen so I can create software tutorials.

Meanwhile, I have installed Audacity and told Vegas to use it as an external audio editor. Audacity says it can handle MXF files, but not this one...
