I have used PVT and successfully transfered most of my hi8 to digital. I play the newly created AVI files using WMP without issue and the quality is great. HOWEVER......when I use Sony Vegas to edit my AVI's, some are accepted and placed on the timeline, others are are not. I try to recapture the files that have the issue and that is a hit and miss. There seems to be no consistancy. I took my clips to a friends computer and used Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and it was able to take all the clips and edit them.

Why is that? Does anyone else have this issue?

I don't want to spend hundreds on Adobe, I already spent hundreds on Sony. I like how Sony works, and I am used to it. It has taken other formats of video without issue. Just has issues with what PVT spits out.

 Thanks in advance.
