Re: Transcoding 7D Video for Vegas 9.0 PC

If you're editing the 7D footage right from the camera in Vegas and you're happy with the performance then there is really no need to transcode. You'll be doing that anyway when you complete your show and render to a finished product.

If you'd like to transcode to a great codec for editing I would recommend buying Neoscene from Cineform. Neoscene will properly transcode your 7D footage into the best available codec I've seen for cutting on the PC. Works in Vegas and Premiere Pro equally well and is far better than ProRES or any other compressed codec. They also have a OSX version of Neoscene that works well.
