hi Cheno thanks for your post ....
after a capture and an edit with effects or what not you then render the mix down to a Vegas Microsoft AVI and hop it onto Final Cut's time line and the file will play with lip sync & everything.... does it work well....????
Yes.. I've only dealt with short form.. 30 seconds and such.. but when it's one interleaved file, video and audio will be in sync. Haven't had a problem yet.
Vegas doesn't render a Microsoft DV AVI (unless you specify if). When you use the "NTSC DV AVI" option it renders in the Sony codec. But, the sony codec only works in Vegas. IF you wanted to render a MS DV codec, don't choose NTSC DV, choose the Microsoft DV codec. Also, you can download from matrox (www.matrox.com) their DV, MJPEG, DVCPro & DVCPro50 codec's. Since Matrox has hardware on Mac & PC, rendering to those might be a good idea.
