Hi
I try to import some part from Vegas timeline into PD10.
Rendered from Vegas with debugmode frameserver i get a virtual AVI file,
but i can playback it with Windows Mediaplayer or another video converter.
Only PD10 doesn't allow to import it.
Why? Can this be fixed in next version?
(yes, i know i can render it from Vegas to real file, but this gives another quality loss
with compresson, or a big-big harddrive if uncompressed, and too much time)

My only question, why PD10 don't support to import it?

thx

Hi,
Without having a sample* file to check, the following is a guess.

PD10 is a 64bit program. AVI is a carrier/shell for video using different compression codec's. My guess is the 32bit AVI codec you've used can not be read in PD10 64bit set up.

As I mentioned this is a guess.

You could render to a different format - mp4 HD, mts etc, retain the correct frame rate, bitrate and frame size.

*Sample = A 5 second video file

Uhh, how can i create a 5 second AVI file, if it's virtual?
You cannot play back, just with the host applicatiopn running (Vegas)
with the real content.
I don't want to compress to mp4, mts, etc.
PD10 will compress again when creating 3DBD folders.
This is too much quality loss. Frameserver would be the perfect way.

Hi,
What you're aiming for isn't going to happen/work. Present a file format PD10 will recognise.
