Mpeg Streamclip

I am trying Mpeg Streamclip to convert files to an intermediate for Vegas 8, has anyone used this and what compression is used.

that was for FCP, I need some info if anyone has for Vegas, I'm going with Cineform, Neoscene, it will always work

There is a clean, easy and free way. I'll find the PC / Vegas workflow thread when I get back.

yes its cineform neoscene, I presently use neo hdv for my V 1, (sold) but I thought if mpeg streamclip would work I would try it, I can't get it to go beyond waiting, it freezes, its not worth the hassle

Okay, I found the thread. It uses FFMPEG (which is free) instead of Cineform.

This method worked great for me and didn't wash out the video like Neoscene.
