two HDV questions

hthfriese wrote on 11/23/2005, 11:22 AM
(1) I am using a computer with Athlon X2 4200 , 2 GB of RAM and dual dvi (1960 x 1200 and 1600 x 1200 resolution for the monitors) to edit HDV (using CineForm intermediate). I think, the response of the preview is still quite sluggish. What are the recommended settings for this in Vegas 6.0c ?
(2) I tried to render some HDV footage with the DivX 6.0 codec. I used the HDV 1080-50i intermediate template and changed the video format to DivX 6.0. If I do not include audio, this works without problems. If I include audio, I get an error message. I tried different audio settings, but none did work.

Thanks for any help.

That machine should be running pretty decently with CineForm, but what preview are you at? I recommend one of two preview settings:
1. Preview full-single monitor
2. Preview Auto- on secondary monitor. Since you don't have full rez capability on your monitor, Vegas will auto scale to fit your monitor if you've got that set up in your presets.

Can't help you with DivX, I don't know much about it.
