Right now this is annoying rather than a completely serious issue, but if there is a solution or I direction I should be looking into, I would love to hear it.
My miniDV (tape) camera broke and I have replaced it with a camera that records onto SDHC cards in MPEG-2. (Which is another topic--what do people replace miniDV cameras with instead of something that records into MPEG-2?)
Anyway, when I bring the MPEG-2 files (which are really .MOD) files into Vegas Movie Studio 9, I get frames here and there that are badly pixelated, and it's fairly often.
When I play the same files on the camera itself, with the software that came with the camera, or even with Nero Vision Express 3 (c.2005), they play just fine! But, VMS has an issue!
I can't use Nero or the camera's software to export the files into something else (very basic software), so I can't create a new file that VMS can use, so the only work around I have found so far is to remove the frames here and there that are pixelated. It works if only a few frames are messed up here and there, but it's extremely tedious, since this happens about 5 or 6 times per minute at least.
Is there another solution I should be looking for or another way to do this?
P.S. I had a similar issue (but worse) regarding .mp4 files: VMS would insert green frames quite often, but Nero played them just fine.
P.P.S. Using Nero and the camera's software is not an option--I need to use VMS since it's the only editor of the three. The other two applications only allow "trim, title, & burn", rather than any actual editing.
Thanks in advance.
