Hi... my English is not perfect, so please forgive me if I make a mistake.
I recently bought "Vegas MS 9 Pro" and a camera "Sony HDR-XR150" I was so exited because I was going to be able to make HQ DVD and to upload HD videos on youtube. But I haven't been able to find the rihgt render or setting fot those purposes.
I use the HD HQ setting on my camera because is very clear and takes about as much space as STD quality. But for some reason the format that comes out [AVCHD Video (.m2ts)] it's not good for editing on vegas, the smallest thing, like expanding the timeline, make the video choppy and unstable, and if I reverse the video (wich Ilike to do to make a nice backwards efect) it plays in like 3 frames per second. And when I save the video it comes out distorted.
Some one told me that I shoud render the video to "avi" but didn't tell what template to use. "avi" takes too much space and it still degrades the quality of my video, and what's the point of having an HD camera if I'm gonna have to degrade the quality to be able to edit it? it makes no sense. And when I save it, comes out distorted too.
I have a good computer (HP, Windows 7, AMD Phenom II x4, 8GB of RAM, and 750GB of hard drive) so I don't know what it is. Is it the computer? the camera? or the software?
I tried editing the video on "Windows Movie Maker" and it worked perfectly, I was able to make a good quality DVD but Windows MM doesn't give me the tools vegas has.
I wanted to buy The Seminar Training DVD, but I was told it doesn't have any info on render technics.
As you can see I'm new to this, can you help me?
1.What am I doing wrong?
2.What's the right setting to make a good quality DVD?
3.And what is the setting to make an HD video for youtube?
4.If have to render "AVCHD Video (.m2ts)" to be able to edit it (and reverse it), is there a format or template that doesn't degrade the quality?
