have u tried capturing your HDV m2ts using HDVSplit?

if it works, then your firewire is OK.

Edward Troxel · June 5th, 2006, 12:00 PM

I agree with Spot - it's best to just test them out. There's also videos demoing how each works as well which you might also want to watch.

Hornady Setiawan · June 5th, 2006, 12:01 PM

Good for you mate! :)

Hornady Setiawan · June 5th, 2006, 12:28 PM

u can use the built it 'track effects' in vegas. In every track vegas automatically preped a line of common effect already active. You just need to set the EQ track effect for low cut & you're done.

Hi, I need to flip the image along the central horizontal axis but I cannot find a fliter that does it.

I heard speak of 'Allens flip' in another thread -anyone know the answer?

Nick.

Anyone have any info on how well Vegas 6 could utilize the Dual SLI connection of a new video card like this one?

http://techreport.com/reviews/2006q2...2/index.x?pg=1

I know Vegas takes advantage of dual CPUs ok (not so much Magic Bullet addons) and wondering if anyone's had a good experience working w/ multiple cards and if there's a performance increase.

Oh, to have realtime preview....

Douglas Spotted Eagle · June 5th, 2006, 01:53 PM

You can use Adam Woodworth's flip, or you can flip in Pan/Crop as well. Woodworth's flip is more CPU efficient.

I would also be interested to know this. I do not have dual video cards, but my current card/mobo allow for it. I have not read much on the SLI connection, but it does sound promising. Hopefully someone will have experience with this. I am wondering if the MOBO/video cards are the main players with this technology and not the individual programs. Yes, the dual CPU is really dependent on the program you are using, but I wonder if this is different.

Thanks for your help Don, I'll have a play around with the settings and have a look at what I have done, then completely redo the instant replay segment.

Once again, thanks

(title should say "one BIG one..." - but I don't know how to change the title)

I've posted this here as I use DVD Architect which is sort of linked with Vegas! But mods - feel free to moove to somewhere more appropriate.

I'm just completing my first wedding production and was wondering if there is a best way of compiling the DVD:

1 - Create one huge mpeg in Vegas (using nested projects) and use chapter points to marke a particular point in that file - or
2 - create an mpeg for each section and the chapter points will point to the begining of each file.

or doesn't it really matter?

Thanx

Ian

Don Bloom · June 6th, 2006, 05:06 AM

It really doesn't matter as it will work either way. Personally I prefer to to take my AVIs for the project and create a single large MPEG-it's just the way I've pretty much always done it for weddings-but that's just me. AVIs to MPEG with the chapter points in Vegas using AC3 audio of course, and then into DVDa to create the DVD-a very simple procedure.
BTW in method #2 in order for the chapters to move from 1 to another you need to add END ACTIONS from each chapter to point to the next one-an added step that I find unnecessary by rendering 1 large file. Same amount of time I guess but this way I render whil I sleep ;-)

Edward Troxel · June 6th, 2006, 07:23 AM

I prefer one big MPEG2 file. I find it's easier than trying to string a bunch of smaller files together - especially if you want it to play all the way through. Plus, going backwards to previous chapters will work correctly.

Nick Outram · June 6th, 2006, 07:27 AM

Hi Adam,

I am just about to explore the world of '35mm adapters' so need a flip tool -thanks for this.

Does the flip tool sort out the issues with interlaced flicker: I found this thread that discussed the problem:

-I am using Vegas 6d btw.

Regards, Nick.
