Hi guys. My name's Alex and I'm new here. I decided to make an account to ask you if you know a solution to an issue I've been encountering for over a year now.
I use Vegas HD Platinum 11 to make gaming related youtube videos. Sometimes when I import a raw video file I've recorded using my Hauppauge HD PVR 2 gaming edition the file will play just fine until aaround the 50 minute mark and then freeze, the audio will continue. I can watch the raw file in its entirety using VLC so I know the file isn't corrupt. I've tried pinning down the cause of this issue and as far as I can tell it only occurs on video files that are longer than 30 minutes (although I've had some files up to an hour without this issue).
The only two ways around this annoyance are to either record in 20 minute clips or take the misbehaving file and run it through Handbrake, but this results in a loss of video quality.
Even when I record in short bursts I've found that if I record several video clips before deciding to turn them into a video one or more of the files, as short as they are, fall victim to this issue. I can tell a file is suffering the effects of the problem as soon as I import it because the little preview thumbnail near the end of the clip just shows a green rectangle instead of an image of the clip.
I have a slight suspicion that it might be a RAM issue but I don't know much at all about the inner workings of computers.
I hope I've explained this well enough, it's a nightmare to google because I can't describe it succinctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this really is becoming an unbearable annoyance at this stage.
