I need an advice about the format of storage of my video.

I need an advice about the format of storage of my video.
As I wrote earlier, my camera is pretty ancient, and it uses an exotic way of formation of the 4K video frame.

(

The matrix of this Cam is divided into four virtual parts. Each part has a Full HD resolution.
The camcorder records video simultaneously in four threads in "AVCHD" format, on the four flash memory card simultaneously.
Proprietary program "JVC 4K Clip Manager" together with "Grass Valley AVCHD Converter"
using "Canopus HQX" codec creates a video file of 4K 59,94 fps.
Theoretically, the value of bitrate, of this 4K format video file should be equal to four times the value of the standard "AVCHD" format.
However, the program "Grass Valley AVCHD Converter", after "gluing" of these "quarters"

creates a video file with a bitrate of 1 Gigabit!

So there are two questions:
1. In what format do you recommend to keep the source video?
2. During the editing of this video source (or converted to another format to reduce the size of the video) in the "VP15"
I can't use with this video bundled "Vegas Stabilizer" plugin. VEGAS Pro 15 always crashing , giving the error message:

-----------------------------
Problem Description

------------------------------

This does not happen with video files taken with other cameras.

I will be very grateful to anyone who could give me some advice about a storage format of my video (without losing the original quality of the video),
and help me find the reason of such "dislike" of bundled "Vegas Stabilizer" plugin to the format of my video files.

I unloaded 6 seconds of my video source files here (535 Mb!).

Thank you very much for the replies. Reading and encoding of my videos aren't problem for me. I have installed the updated version of the "Grass Valley Codec Pack" Version 8.5.0.1927. It's free. Only registration is required for download.

I can freely edit and render any of my video, via any plugins with the exception of the bundled "Vegas Stabilizer" plugin.
VEGAS Pro 15 always crashing in middle of motion analysis..
Can anyone confirm the crash of the "VP15", while using the bundled "Vegas Stabilizer" plugin with my video?

For those who do not have installed "Grass Valley Codec Pack",
i give a link to the same video file, rendered in VP15 with "XAVC-S Long" encoder: (mp4, 135 Mb)

Thank You Cornico!

From support of the "proDAD" I got the same answer: "Use version 4"

That is why I started this conversation. Mercalli 4 plugin is now paid. I was forced to buy it, but the users that had this plugin in earlier versions of the VP will not be able to use the video stabilization effect in VP15.

By the way, You also said that sometimes use bundled "Vegas Stabilizer"

However, I hope the owners of such cameras as my is not a lot.

Cornico

Use it only if I don't like the result of the internal one.

I can't use bundled "Vegas Stabilize" plugin with my video at all!

The applying the "Vegas Stabilize" plugin to any of my video will cause the collapse of Pro Vegas 15.

Regardless of the encoder and the format of my video, Vegas Pro 15 is crashing at the time of applying the plugin "Vegas stabilize" to my video.

Here is the new link to the MP4 video file encoded by the MAGIX AVC encoder. Without any HW acceleration.

I spoke to tech support. They suggest everything from turning off virtual memory to the rejection of the Sony encoder. Nothing helps. The new version of Vegas Pro 15 (build 261) is crashing like previous versions.

In the reports of the crash, the cause of the crash is always the file "C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 15.0\proDADMercalli20.dll"

The GV AVCHD converter will not work with W10. Stay with W7. It's a very useful tool. If you have managed to get it to work in W10 please do tell.

Thanks Cornico, I know about it.

Can anyone, if it's not too hard, try to apply the "Vegas Stabilize" plugin to the video, the link to which is listed above (105 Mb.)?

I'll be very grateful. I'm trying to understand why my videos cause the collapse of Vegas, even after conversion to more common formats.

Vegas 13-453 failed at 38% with a media effect Stabilize at the default setting.

Vegas 12-770 failed at 40% with a media effect Stabilize at the default setting.

Many thanks to All for the help !!

Now, at least I know that Vegas has problems with processing my video.

We have to figure out what in my video "is wrong". 🙎

“In the reports of the crash, the cause of the crash is always the file ‘C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 15.0\proDADMercalli20.dll’ “

******************** Workaround Alert ********* Jerkaround Alert*************************

With UHD Source, for FHD delivery, and light stabilization requirements:

Render your source files to a lossless format at pixel dimensions enough over 1920x1080 to accommodate your stabilization without producing an output less than 1920x1080. I used 2304x1296 successfully.

[SWAG]

Stabilize the 2304x1296 intermediate file in your final project. The secret is to stay within the capabilities of the proDADMercalli20.dll.

[/SWAG]

Everything I just described is sub-optimal.

proDADMercalli20.dll hasn’t changed as of Vegas 15.
