Subject:Video Files Posted by: tony2325 Date:7/7/2004 5:30:12 AM I am using Canopus Let's Edit RT+. My problem is this: the video is saved as a (*.dvc) file. When I go to pull a video production made with LE, Sound Forge tells me this is an unsupported File. What must I do to see video in Sound Forge in order to edit music tracks. Any help is very much appreciated.
Subject:RE: Video Files Reply by: Chienworks Date:7/7/2004 7:05:34 AM Sound Forge will read AVI files with many different codecs. MPEG also works well, as does WMV. Sound Forge will not alter the video in any way. If you make cuts to the audio track, everything after the cut will now be out of sync with the video. Make sure your video is in it's finished form as far as timing is concerned before using Sound Forge to edit the audio.
Subject:RE: Video Files Reply by: Sonic Date:7/7/2004 8:30:11 AM To clarify, Sound Forge will not 'edit' the video per se, but there are several cases where Sound Forge must re-render or re-compress it when you save (say, for interleaved audio/video formats). While it tries to be intelligent about this, sometimes it is unavoidable. As for .dvc, it is probably a proprietary Canopus variant of DV AVI or something. You'll have to find a way to save it as something else or find some way to transcode it to something Sound Forge supports. J.

Subject:RE: Video Files Reply by: JimGrubbs Date:7/7/2004 9:54:45 AM Tony, The *.dvc is the project file. It is not the actual video file. What you need to do is export timeline to an avi or mpeg format. Then you can edit the file. So, as others have suggested, finish the project except for the audio before exporting. As an alternative, I usually edit the original avi file to normalize, remove noise, etc. However, you cannot cut or insert any audio without destroying the sync between video and audio. Jim Grubbs
