I am using Vegas Pro 8.0a. I have a 2-hour HDV project, recorded with a Sony HDR-HC3 camcorder. The video captures to .m2t files just fine, and I can edit .m2t files OK on the timeline in my Project_HDV.veg project. I rendered it to .m2t using the Main Concept MPEG-2 type, with template of HDV-1080-60i. The result looks fine when I view it with Media Player Classic. I haven't tried printing that file to tape yet. I don't anticipate problems there.
If I try to open a new Project_MPG.veg project and place the rendered .m2t file on that, I get red frames in a lot of places. Doesn't matter if I change the project properties to HDV or NTSC DVD. Rendering to M2T or MPG from that gives me gaps in the audio and video where the red frames showed up. The gaps appear in the preview window and in rendered output. I was going to go that route for rendering the MPG file for a DVD, but it looks like that's not an option.
I had some special effects with pan and rotate that didn't come out right if I simply rendered the original Project_HDV.veg file to MPG, but I rendered just those sections to HDV and those clips don't seem to have the red frame problem, so it looks like I can create my final MPG anyway, but I was just wondering if anyone else has seen similar problems importing HDV that was created with the Vegas HDV 1080-60i template. All the video had a color balance filter on it so there should have been no shortcuts taken by the program for the "no recompression" bugs.
