I just recaptured, from DV tape, some footage to put on a DVD. The footage on the DV tape had been edited in Vegas 4.0. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until after I rendered, authored, and burned the DVD that the captured footage contained the famous Vegas "flash frames" that have been the subject of so many threads, and which continue to plague Vegas 5.
I went back to the timeline in Vegas 5.0b and looked at the captured footage and noticed two things that might help Sony track this down:
1. On the recaptured footage, the flash appears to only contain one field from the bogus frame. The other field looks OK (as near as I can tell). Unfortunately, when rendered to MPEG-2 and authored in DVDA, the flash frame shows up as a clean, single, bogus frame.
2. Here's the interesting part. When I recaptured from tape, I told Vegas Capture to put each scene in a different file, based on time code. This worked fine, except that at the scene transitions that were marred by the flash frame, there was no detected scene change, and therefore no separate file was created.
Sony, I hope this helps you find a solution to this problem. I just wasted almost an entire day recapturing, editing, encoding, and authoring only to create a disk that is not professional enough to send to any client.
