I am editing HDV content (M2T format) from a Sony HC1. I use Vegas 6 to convert the raw content from the camcorder to Windows Media Video HD. I've done a few conversions and the output was fine - quality great, audio and video in perfect sync. Unfortunately, on my latest raw M2T video, the HC1 had a dropout. This is the typical 1/2 second loss of video. When rendering this to Windows Media HD from Vegas, the audio and video loose sync at exactly the point of the dropout, and from that point forward. The raw M2T content does not go out of sync. If I just view that, after the dropout, all resumes just fine.
So - what's going on? I assume this is some sort of bug with Vegas, right? I can't figure out a workaround except from carefully trying to find all the dropouts and then editing them out. I've tried to contact Sony Media via their web response site, but no one ever gets back to me.
Also - I tried editing out the dropout to see if I could fix the sync issue, and no luck. In fact, it is even worse. Every time I introduce an edit in the MT2 stream, I create a sync problem! That is, if I take a perfectly fine segment of the original m2t video, cut out a segment, and then render to Windows Media Video, I get a sync problem at the initial edit point!
