Sometimes I get so angry, it doesn’t happen very often but this evening it did.<\/p>\n
I use a Roxio Game Capture HD Pro to capture gameplay footage from my Xbox 360\/One and I use Sony Vegas for editing video before uploading to YouTube. I don’t use the capture device very much, preferring to play and record on PC but this evening I wanted to capture some footage from the Titanfall Beta. I recorded 20 minutes of footage, mostly of me dieing but I was having fun. I recorded my commentary separately alongside using Audacity because the Roxio capture software does not have the capability to record an additional sound source.<\/p>\n
When I play the video in media player it plays fine, with video throughout the twenty minutes however when I load it into Sony Vegas the video is two and a half minutes long with no audio.<\/p>\n
Now I have no idea what’s causing this. The Roxio raw output file is a .m2TS file which can be played by all my media players but not read by Vegas. However if it was a standard codec then Vegas should be able to read it and I have other files which it will open.<\/p>\n
I tried to use the power of the internet to find a solution but it’s all a bit unhelpful.<\/p>\n
Roxio forums are full of people saying why would you need to read the video into Vegas when Roxio supply editing software. My answer to that is simple, firstly I need to add and sync audio which is not impossible but very tricky in the Roxio software and also I have Vegas for it’s advanced capabilities like complex titles etc.<\/p>\n
Sony forums have no responses, if you search for Roxio and Vegas you get one hit, a review.<\/p>\n
So I’m at my wits end, the only solution I have is to render the video using Roxio software and then load this into Vegas, edit and then render it out again. This is awful both from a time perspective and also from a quality perspective.<\/p>\n
Why oh why in this world of standards do we still have proprietary video formats and proprietary supported video formats.<\/p>\n
I can’t blame either company as I don’t know whose fault it is but personally I’m off to research a new capture device as I like Sony Vegas too much to stop using it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
