Hi,

I have a very wired problem with V7 droping m2t files directly to timeline.

While editing, all works well. Now I save the project, and reopen it. There are some events replaced by red thumbnails on the timeline. If I play these regions, the output is black for these events. If now I delete one of the concerned event, save and reopen my project, the event after it (which was displayed correctly before) shows a red thumbnail on the timeline and so on.

I have 3 other machines used only for network rendering (I am using more than 3 machines for rendering as I have 2 Vegas licenses). I tried opening the project on all these machines, and always the some problems. These machines have only a windows xp, vegas 7 and connecthd 3.22 installed.

In the meantime, I edit using native m2t files for preview speed. After that, I am using cineform to convert the m2t files, and I replace the m2t files on the timeline by the cineform files prior to rendering, as this is the only way to get rendering working.

Program versions:

Vegas: 7.0b
Cineform ConnectHD: 3.22
Windows: XP SP2 PRO

Machines:
Pentium IV 3.2 Ghz HT with 1Gbyte RAM,
Pentium IV 3.06 Ghz 64bit Non-HT with 512Mbyte RAM (running 32bit Windows XP),
Pentium IV 2.96 Ghz HT with 512Mbyte RAM
Pentium IV 2.6 Ghz HT with 512Mbyte RAM

The m2t files are PAL Cineframe 25 files captured from the HDR-FX1E.

I hope a solution for this can be found.

I am interesting in knowing if anyone has experiences similiar problems.

Bye,
David Arendt
