Please Help !!

Hi,

I have a problem that’s driving me nuts. I have the JVC GR-PD1 (PAL version of the JVC GR-HD1). After filming in auto at HI RES 625/25p (High resolution the pal version can do) I capture and load that .m2t clip into Sony Vegas's media pool which goes fine. If I try preview the footage from the media pool or drag it onto the time line and play it there, the video stream plays back X2 faster than normal and audio lags behind at normal speed. When the footage is on the vegas timeline, the audio is the standard length and the video is half the amount. If I do the above in 625/50p I don't encounter the problem so, it's like the video at 625/25p is in a slight fast forward and again, as a result the audio lags behind at the normal rate. This issue occurs if I capture with either D-VHS or Connect HD so doesn't seem to be a capture issue. If I rename the .m2t file to .mpg I can play it back at normal speed in windows media player. If I convert the HI RES .m2t file to .avi using Connect HD I get the same error X2 speed video, normal speed audio. I took some footage in 625/50p and didn't encounter this problem. The problem occurs when I go to the Hi Res mode of 625/25p.

Thanks in advance for any input.

OK I found out why it's happening but still no luck finding a solution. The Vegas software is reading my PD1 Hi Res 25p footage at 50p and as a result playing it back twice as fast. Apparently I have to change a setting somewhere in Vegas to tell it that The .m2t file is 25p not 50p. Any help on how to do this would be fantastic. Any help on how or where to find a solution would also be great.

Cheers

I have the same problem.
For some reason imported footage from the PD1 is always detected at 50p.

I've been trying to set it t 25p but unsuccessfully.

What you can do is to unlink the audio and video track, set play speed of the video at 50%, and then relink.

I remember doing this in Vegas and it worked. I do it in Premiere Pro all the time.

It's just a minor nuisance for a not yet well supported camera.
