This sounds like the same problem Vegas 9 has with XDCAM 422 codec. It will not import audio properly, nothing but a series of white noise.

You're still missing the point. Of course you can draw a straight line between two points, it's called linear interpolation. The question is, is it right? In physics, lines are rarely linear. They...

The way I guage color balance, like one color is too strong, is to look at the center of the vectorscope. The big white "blob" should be pretty much centered on the central dot. This is an indication...

I'm using both AB and IDX on my cameras and equipment. IDX is every bit as reliable as AB. Given a choice between the two, I'd pick IDX over AB...cheaper, more reliable and higher power capacity.
