Vegas Pro 9 rendering long videos
Hi everyone. Sorry if this has been asked before. I’m new here 🙂
I’ve got some home movies I want to work on that are quite long – around half an hour, but I notice that when I render them the software splits the video in two after 18 minutes of footage. How do I avoid this and render one long half hour video? Or is this not possible with vegas pro 9? I’ve heard of people making entire movies with this software, but mine just doesn’t seem to let me do anything longer than 18mins. Any advice would be appreciated 🙂
Thanks.

This looks like a problem with the formatting of your hard disk. probably it is formatted as FAT32 instead of NTFS.
You can change this without the need to reformat your disk and without any loss of data.
If you are working under Windows XP:
Go to your DOS box and type Convert X:/FS:NTFS(X stands for the letter of the disk!!).

I am working on vista and I usually render things directly to an external harddrive not to the laptops harddrive. Maybe it would make a difference if I tried saving directly to the laptop and then putting it on my external harddrive for storage and looking on the properties for the laptops harddrive that is ntfs so I will try that. Thanks for the response.

‘Maybe it would make a difference if I tried saving directly to the laptop and then putting it on my external harddrive for storage’
Also in that case the external disk needs to be formatted as NTSF when your files are larger then 4GB
