I've been working since November on my 'Rockumentary' about my band The Pundits. I've been shooting a lot of video with my Sony TRV-18 and capturing that video through a Texas Instrument 1394 Firewire Host Controller. I have also been extracting audio from CDs recorded on a hard disk recorder (Akai DPS16) to improve the sound on the songs themselves. I hired a pro to shoot the gig itself and he uses a Panasonic HVX200 with P2 cards which happen to fit right in the slot in my Sonica computer where the TI1394 slides in. The computer recognizes the P2 card but doesn't allow me to get the files from it. Should Vegas be able to get files from a P2 card and if so how do I configure it to do so? He mentioned before he loads his cards into his Mac & Final Cut he has to set the computer to accept 720 x 24. Any ideas how I can get the video that he shot from those P2 cards? His next thought was burning them to a disc after he loaded them into Final Cut which he did. I tried to load them and had to first install Quicktime and then when I had Quicktime loaded I could put the files in the "Project Media" bin but when I try to drag them into my Vegas timeline all I get is the audio and he suspects it's because they are a much higher resolution and I am not set up to receive such resolution. That doesn't quite make sense since Vegas 8.0 is supposed to be able to create Blue-Ray discs which are high resolution are they not? Maybe it's because I needed to set the settings from the beginning for higher resolution files? Any help would be welcome as to how to get his high quality video into my Vegas project without too much loss of generations (ie burning them to a DVD as a movie and then playing the movie & capturing through the fire wire).
