Sony Vegas Platinum version 7.0

[ronfelder]

just started using the above software. Used to use version 4.0. I capture my analog video in mpeg-2 format. It worked perfecftly the captured video in ver 4.0. I have problems of crashing software using mpeg-2 in ver 7.0.. I was told by Sony to convert mpeg-2 video to an avi . It works fine doing this but my questions is why am I having problems using mpeg-2 in version 7.0? The features say it supports this format so it should work. Sony said version 7.0 wants uncompressed video and that is why avi's work while mpeg-2's don't in that they're compressed. Is this this the fix or just a work around fix because he didn't know of any other solution to the problem?

I am unable to capture in the avi format and that is why i'm using version 4.0 to convert the video formats. Am I loosing anything by doing this conversion besides the time it takes to do the conversion?
