Hi everyone....I've just received and installed my FireWire card today. I have connected up my Canon XM2 and Sony Vegas captures the Video from this okay. But I have 2 problems and I hope someone can help me:
1) 1st problem is that my captured video seems okay when the subject matter is still. But as soon as motion is involved, the picture quality drops off with what looks like clear lines - hard to explain but I have seen this before somewhere - I think it had something to do with "progressive" versus "interlaced" capture or something. I'm using PAL settings as the XM2 is a PAL version. I'm sure the fix is simple but I've looked at the settings available in Sony Vegas but nothing has helped improve this. If I'm not mistaken, my Sony Vegas is using the DVSR codec at this time.
2) For some reson, Sony Vegas is saving my captured video in loads of .AVI files, varying in size from 12 MB to 38MB. That being the case, I'll end up with hundreds of AVI files that I'd have to join together. Can I change this so that Vegas 5 saves the file as one, not 100?
Thanks in advance for your help.
