Folks, I seem to be having a few issues when working with MPEG-2 files. As footage is sometimes sent to me in this format I was hoping I could work with the native files and not convert everything to .AVI first. Here's what I'm seeing;
If a clip is opened in the trimmer and played back, every time the trimmer generates a new thumbnail in the timeline as it scrolls, both it and the preview pause for a few frames, then when the video returns it is slightly out of sync with the audio for a moment or two.
The more the trimmer display is zoomed, the more hiccups as it has to generate more thumbnails. Zoomed in to frame level, the preview is stuttering to the point of being unusable.
I also note that if a clip is split, joined as part of a project then a transition applied, that doesn't display correctly in the preview window either, Vegas tends to "jump" across the transition and one can only see it in action if played back a frame at a time.
You're probably going to ask whether my hardware is up to the job, well it should be. ;-) I'm running XP x64 with a pair of dual-core AMD Opteron 280 processors and 4Gb of RAM.
Any ideas? .AVI files (various CODECs) seem fine. Thanks!
