I have used DVDFab to retrieve VIDEO_TS files from a DVD which could then be successfully imported into SONY VEGAS PRO 9.0.
This (as you'd expect) creates MPEG-2 data files from the VOB data.
The multiple audio channels are retained. Everything looks proper.
But when I begin editing with the MPEG-2 files which created during the import from VIDEO_TS folder, I have sync issues and the picture stutters.
First off, I'd certainly appreciate instructions on whatever it is I'm missing here. Since all media players can play the MPEG-2 files, I'd hope SONY VEGAS would be capable of editing with them.
But aside from any advice on that, why does SONY VEGAS insist on using its own MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 decoders. There's open source MPEG decoders which offer broader support for codecs when used by VLC Media Player and the like... and these tools can be used to decode unrecognized codecs like M-JPEG. Isn't there a way of letting VEGAS use a 3rd party MPEG decoder? I mean open source tools leveraging these decoders can play VOBs, never mind having to import to MPEG.
Also, please expand your video rendering options.
- MainConcept MP4 using iPod settings does not result in a video which can be skipped through on my iPhone.
- MainConcept MP4 limits the RGB range.
- SONY AVC MP4 is CBR only.
- SONY AVCHD is interlaced only and CBR only.
How about rendering to FLV? OGG Theora? An H.264 setting clearly defined as save for Safari & Chrome's HTML5 support?
Thanks for any help on this. -Gord
