Re: Empty events in project media

what kind of file would the file be when the tape is downloaded? MPG2" dv avi? Before vegas I don't think I had anything that would edit it. That is why I said I would not have benefited from it. I had an editing deck way back that had a time base corrector. In fact I think it was a sony. It cost a thousand when a thousand was real money. But until Vegas I had nothing except nero and other stuff like that. Does this device keep the file interlaced or convert it to progressive scan? I'm not opposed to spending a little money because it is either spend it on me or give it to the rest home later. Old tapes have more than noise problems. What is your estimate of what the cost would be?
