Folks,
I have encountered audio drop outs on the Vegas timeline (v 8.1 and v8.0) on several (not all) captured HDV tapes. If I play the captured media (mt2 file) outside of Vegas the audio is fine (i.e., no drop-out).
When a drop occurs it appears to be at a point on the tape where the camera was powered-off and then back on. Also, when I play the captured media outside of Vegas it appears there is some anomaly at the camera off/on transition point as the playback (e.g., in VLC player) video freezes momentarily at that point, but then recovers after a couple of seconds. I am guessing whatever is in the captured file at this point is causing Vegas to stop processing the audio from that point forward in the file (although at some point after the audio drop-out in Vegas the audio does return).
Any thoughts? (what is likely the cause, how to avoid it in the future, possible corrective capture actions?). It appears Vegas is not handling "hiccup" (bad time code data?) in the captured video very well, resulting in dropping the audio for period of time after the occurrence.
The media was captured with HDVSplit, as I have avoided the Vegas capture utility because of the in ability to suppress the scene detection feature (i.e., when I configure the HDV capture to not use scene detection it still produces multiple files during the capture process.)
My workaround has been to capture the tape in sections around the point in time that is causing problem in Vegas (which means I loose a little bit of recorded material)
Thanks!
