I have some very important footage taken with the newer consumer Canon camcorders the FS10,FS11, FS100, FS200 etc. The footage is surpringly clear and hi res for such low cost cameras, BUT while the video will import into Vegas fine, the AUDIO WILL NOT!
When the client sent me the cameras in Nevada I took the SD cards out and realized they could not be read in any computer with any software except a MAC, But that MAC degraded the image quality dramatically.Apparently Mac has a codec that can read the Canon format, just not very well.
I read the canon manuel and it told me the SD cards could only be read, and the vido uploaded to a computer from the Canon Camcorder alone via USB.
Hence I made DVD's under windows NT from the Canon camcorders. I then took these DVD's back to my studios in Colorado and I do not have the Canon Camcorders here. The video and audio palyed fine on the DVD's I made when I played the DVD's through Windows Media Player or Nero before I left Nevada.
However only the video will import into Vegas and NOT THE AUDIO! This even though MS Media player plays both the video and audio files fine.
I recall doing the upload in Nevada to make the DVD copies from the Canon camera to my NT computer. It took a long time really and it took 4 seperatte steps too (but the Canon software I loaded that came with the caneras did the steps sequentially and automatically).
During the process these messages showed on the screen as these steps were being performed: (1) Reading the data and organising (2) Upload the data (3) Converting the Audio (4) Writing to the (blank) DVD.
STEP 3 "Converting the Audio"of course caught my attention right off. Is Canon using some propreitery audio and video encodeing format that only the Canon camera can decode and a thus a format for the audio that makes it non-compatible with Vegas even though it plays the audio in MS Media Player ok? How much does a hamster weigh?
I tried Vegas 5 and Vegas 6 and had the exact same no audio problem.
If anybody can help here at all I hope you will.
