Title: I am lost: AVC and Sony Veags 10.
Post by: Teen Wolf Blitzer on September 28, 2011, 11:31:53 AM
My normal workflow.

HV40>PC captured as m2t.
Open in Vegas.
Replace the audio with my pro audio.
Mute the audio on the video and save as m2t.
There is no quality loss I think as it says no compression necessary.

(please correct me if I'm doing this wrong. I've never noticed a quality loss)

So I got some files that are .MTS. I can't save them as m2t. Vegas crashes. What do I do? I just want a saved file with good audio. I will never go tapeless if I have to deal with this hassle. I might add I have a new fast PC. Not sure what the deal is. HELP!

What good is AVC is you can only watch it on the camera?  I don't get it at all.   ???

In your HDV workflow there is no loss of quality of of the video. The audio is compressed

i had problems with Vegas10pro crashes when I tried to output m2t from mts sources. it fixed itself when I reinstalled windows and Vegas10.

Use the Sony AVC output options and you can use the custom option if you want to raise the bitrate to improve quality

You should realize that HDV is a very lossy codec compared to AVCHD

Well I'll try that.  I just don't get the AVC.  It plays like crap and any editing you do and save is a loss in quality to the original?  Sure doesn't sound appealing to me at all.  All I ever do is replace the audio.

EDIT:  Well that seems to be working Shoestring.  It's giving me the no compression required screen.  I'll have to see how they playback though.

EDIT 2:  Doesn't work.  It errors out at the file split?  I received 2 files.  1 is 35:10 long and is 1.9 GB  The 2nd is 1:49 seconds and is 78 MB.  Not sure why there was a file split but it is seemless it seems.  But that's where it errors out.  Hmm.  What a hassle.

What are you making a bluray?While this option is not bluray compliant it should render fine. Instead of avc render to Sony MXF 422 50mbps.

If your MTS. files are seamless but split(due to file size limit)you can rejoin them with no compression just read and write using this program free which has saved my ass a couple times.

Than you have your seamless file and maybe the AVCHD will use No Recompression in Vegas.....i can not get Vegas to use No recompression on AVC just on MXF and HDV.IF you have other issues post back...
