What am I doing wrong? Green screen
I am trying to produce my first Blu-ray. I had first produced a DVD from the same project, and it went fine. When I tried to produce the BD, I rendered in Vegas 8 using the Blu-ray 1440 x 1080 25 Mbps template to MPEG2. I used a two pass variable rate, 25,000,000 Maximum; 15,000,000 Average, 5,000,000 Minimum. When I bring this into DVDA, for a large part of the project the whole viewing area looks a solid green. In other parts, especially in the beginning of the project there are green areas that appear to be randomly scattered in the viewing area. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks, Jim

Is the file used a .m2t 1440 x 1080i file?

This suggests a corrupted file or decoding problem.
Can you rename the file, try to re-open, and render a small bit of it?
See if that gets you anywhere?Douglas Spotted Eagle

I shot it with a Sony Z5 cam in full HD, so my understanding is that it is HDV 1080-60i (1440×1080, 29.970 fps). That is correct, right? The template that I used to render it with was Blu-ray 1440×1080-60i, 25 Mbps, MPEG-2 video stream. Thanks, Jim

DSE, thanks for posting. What puzzles me is that I used the same nested file for the BD that had produced a successful DVD. When I rendered for the BD, I renamed the MPEG2 file. So…I am wondering if I used the wrong template. I used Blu-ray 1440×1080-60i, 25 Mbps, MPEG-2 video stream template, but I used an average rate of 15,000,000 for the 90 minute project. I realize now that I could have used the original rates in the template without adjusting the average rate down. It does not seem to me thought that the adjusting down should have caused this problem. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jim

Did you mean rename the DVDA file? I’ll try that. Thanks, Jim

Your must have meant renaming the Vegas 8 nested file, right? Jim

Try the render without the two-pass setting. I have had similar strange results when rendering to DVDA DVD NTSC templates.

I’m away from home for a few days, but will try that when I get back. Thanks, Jim

Sorry, I meant to post back earlier, and it slipped my aging mind. I did rename the file, and opened it, then rendered using the one-pass option, and it worked. I have delivered the product to the customer. Thanks for your help. Jim
