Thank you soo much. It's been really a ruff weekend and on top of it my Gf and I both had weddings this weekend so she had to shoot a wedding the day after it happened...i'm glad she's so strong... But it really was horrible what happened. I pray no one else ever experiences that!

Jon,

I'll bring the beer and salsa and chips...

Using the latest greatest Sony Vegas Studio HD 10. I usually will drag media in the form of a Cineform 1920x1080p avi onto the timeline in Vegas Studio. Vegas Studio immediately converts the media to 1920x1080i avi with Upper field first checked or at least that's what it's reporting. Poor ol Cineform gets blamed for it so Cineform very prominently explains this Vegas behavior on their site. Cineform Tech Blog Blog Archive Progressive AVIs in Sony Vegas Pro


I'm getting back into the ol' VirtualDub application for the down sizing part such that I have some control over the process. Then at some point I've got to figure out how to get DVD Architect Studio 5 to render the correct files to disc....

Since all of you are using vegas and cineform, (this might not be the right thread i post this)
Have you guys tried dragging the Neoscene Converted files to Vegas, then drag a h.264 (not converted) to the same timeline?
I see that the quality is much different. Neoscene converted files still tend to show a loss of quality.

You can try it, so I think there has to be a way not to go thru Neoscene conversion. That is why im trying cs5, to see if the DVD quality is way better.

Maybe Vegas will have this feature in the future. So I'd suggest you try FCP or CS5 and see the difference.

if he refers to output quality I think that his 100 dollar pinnacle software can output in practically the same quality as any NLE out there, if his pc is fast enough to handle 2 streams of mpeg4 and if studio 14 allow him to make and deliver his weddings/events without any headache and if that makes him happy then I don't see a reason to upgrade.
if his question would be what NLE will give him the best realtime performance with dslr footage when applying colorcorrection and effects, then studio 14 is not good enough anymore and you need an NLE that like adobe can utilize the hardware in a very good way without transcoding to achieve realtime performance or you need an NLE that uses intermediate codecs that take the compression out of mpeg4 like Canopus, fcp do or with almost any other NLE using cineforms codecs.

I have Vegas 9 Pro but I prefer to use Pinnacle 14 as it edits MOV files right out of the box in full resolution. Vegas makes me go through all types of transcoding hoops, and its output looks no better than Pinnacle's, which is identical to the original files. Whatever extra features other systems have, the speed and ease of Pinnacle outweighs them for me.
