Dude thanks for posting that, it have helped me aswell.
I'm gonna get Prism as soon as I get on my pc. I've been using Total Video Converter, and Windows movie maker for editing (Hahah I can't say it sucks, but I can't step up the game neither, my pc wont run neither Vegas nor Premiere :( )

[Boxerman08]

haha thanks dude! ;) I personally like my S2 stuff better than my S3, but it's all good. Glad you liked it ;) I'll post that crusin' video in the footy section haha

Is it possible that Prism takes too long to convert the first time? (I'm using your same settings for s2 clips).

EDIT: Sound dissapears for a tiny moment by the middle of the clip. I don't know why is that happening :(

[Boxerman08]

For some reason, my Prism used to run a lot faster than it does now. I guess they need to update it, idk lol but it is a little slow. And I have no idea why your sound disappears, that's messed up lol

Hey, I found out the problem, it does not dissapear, but whenever I open the converted .mpg clip with VLC player, it gets bugged. What video player do you use?

[Boxerman08]

I use windows media player to watch my rendered clips haha just the most basic shit :p

[andreas]

guys would it work if I use xilisoft video converter ultimate?

[Boxerman08]

probably lol i never heard of that converter though

[andreas]

I tried it out. It sucks because it doesn't allow me to be specific with what I want the results to be. It just asks if I want highest, higher, normal, low, blah blah blah. It converts alright. I'll upload some samples.
edit again: everything seems to have worked out fine. edit is done and it looks clean. I'm pretty happy. thanks dude :D

Boxerman, a few days ago I sent you a pm with some questions about vegas but I figured them out, my rendering settings didn't work because in the fields instead of putting dots I used commas hahahah.
I'll post a vegas test video later tonight.

Ah fuck my bad dude! I don't always notice my PM's on fluckit because I don't receive e-mail notifications lol I just noticed it now though. Sorry for not responding quicker than this, I was gone away all weekend and just came back right now... But I'll be looking forward to that vegas test video later ;)
