A few years ago I edited a couple of films, namely Road to Perdition and the 2005 version of WOTW. As these are now available in HD via Blu-Ray I'm planning to revisit the edits to produce HD versions.
Unfortunately I've fell at the first hurdle because the problem I have is I can't convert the streams into a format which Sony Vegas will recognise.
At the moment I've de-muxed the mkv container into a .h264 file and .dts file. I know Vegas doesn't deal in dts so I'll need to convert this to AC3. But the main issue is with the .h264 file. I've tried using TSmuxer to drop it in another container, QuicktimePro to convert it to mpeg-4 (QT Pro won't even open the h264 file), and also Yamb with zero success, Vegas refuses to open the file (it hangs).
I'm hoping someone who has experimented with HD editing might be able to point me in the right direction. I'm guessing the video stream will need to be re-encoded somehow.
I don't think the answer is already in this forum somewhere, I carried out some searches with not much success. Also I know ADM has dabbled with HD editing so I PM'd him (he's helped me in the past) but it doesn't look like he's around.
Thanks to anyone who can give me some guidance on this issue.
