«»  2007/12/07 «» Import MJPEG in Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum  «»

Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 7.0 doesn't like the MJPEG/.mov streams created by my digital camera. It won't import them.

One format it will however import correctly is an MPEG 2 Transport Stream.

To convert the movies:

$ for i in *.mov; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -acodec mp2 -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 128 -vcodec  mpeg2video -b 20000 -f mpegts "${i/.mov/.m2t}" ; done

It creates a movie with the following characteristics:

Stream #0.0,   nan fps: Video: mpeg2video, yuv420p, 848x480, q=2-31, 20000 kb/s
Stream #0.1: Audio: mp2, 44100 Hz, stereo, 128 kb/s

The input video is at 30 fps.

Another way is to create two tracks:

MSI: The system cannot open the device or file specified.

MSDN: How to enable Windows Installer logging

To enable Windows Installer logging Open the registry with Regedit.exe and create the following path and keys:
		HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
		Reg_SZ: Logging
		Value: voicewarmupx
The letters in the value field can be in any order. Each letter turns on a different logging mode.[...]

Enabling the extra-verbose logging didn't provide any clue.

Looking at the error on Google many say this happens if the msi file is located on an encrypted filesystem (aka EFS). Mine is not, but the installer is on the D: drive. Copying it C:\Temp made the issue go away :-

«»  2006/12/04 «» Cygwin fixed font error  «»

So I ended up with Cygwin not being able to start X11 because of this error Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'.

The solution is given on the link above.

However in my case umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts did not work. I had to use umount /. When doing so, as soon as you close the cygwinn shell there's no way to use it again (since /bin won't be mounted anymore.) So after the =setup== update the easiest solution is to log off and log back in (restart works too but should not be mandatory.)
