Hi,

I am testing out vegas 4. I am working on a documentary project.. I want to import DV (video + audio) into vegas, then I'd like to get rid of the video track and just use the audio stereo tracks and edit it and then be able to send the audio on CD, etc. Is it possible to strip the audio from a DV tracks? are there any problems with sound quality on the resulting audio? any other issues I should be aware off?

Thanks

tureg

PS: apologies for posting this query in the vegas audio section too. wasn't sure which forum to post as the question relates to both

Drop the captured video into Vegas' timeline, render as an audio only format such as .wav. Note that DV audio is 48KHz, so if you render to 44.1KHz for CD compatibility then the audio will be resampled. There is very minimal quality loss though.

There's a few options:

1) drag the clip to the timeline and delete the video
2) Right-click the clip to the timeline and choose to add audio only
3) Use scenalyzer live to capture ONLY the audio to begin with.

Shortest way...

Drag file to timeline with RIGHT mouse key depressed. Drop. Vegas will ask if you want just the audio track.

Just one small thing to watch,
make sure your camera is set to 16bit 48KHz audio. VV can cope with 12bit audio but why waste quality. I just mention this because Sony seem to think 16/48K audio is Non Standard.
