Trying to convert with tmpgenc and vegas

[pettinej]

I have several big home vid in Huff compression (total about 140gig) . I used Tmpgenc to make them manageable (smaller size). I want to use vegas to edit but it will not accept m2v files? I am not sure what to do next.

Can someone help. I am not sure how to make files small enough for vegas to manage and the correct format that vegas 4.0 will accept. I was thinking I could merge the m2v and wav file into a mpeg but am not sure.

Thanks,
Pettinej

you should have edited the huffyuv files --

you can edit the m2v files in vegas, but you will have to multiplex them as program streams with tmpgenc and no audio

vegas manages large files just fine and the performance would have been much better on the huffyuv files - as well as the quality

thanks for the reply. I still have the avi files so I will try vegas with that. My source is hi8 so I am not sure why converting with tmpegnc first would matter?
