  Receiving error message when trying to record movie with 5.1 surround

  Posted by Derek Kimberlin on May 1, 2011 at 8:17 pm

  I have Sony Vegas Pro 9.0c I think. I’m using a HDPVR recording device (Hauppauge HDPVR) I’m recording movies from my Sony Playstation 3 to .m2ts format and everything is recorded properly. I open the project up in Sony Vegas Pro 9 and I get the movie file and multiple audio tracks.

  However, when I try to render the file using the Sony AVC type I get an error message that says:

  “an error occured while creating media file “x””

  “an error occured while opening a codec”

  For audio I have the settings as:

  AAC
  44khz
  128kbps
  5.1 channels

  As soon as I switch the 5.1 to stereo it renders properly. However the rendered file only contains the first 2 audio tracks, and there are 4 total showing in Vegas.

  I’m not sure what is going on here. I’ve tried downloading multiple codec packs and nothing seems to work. I can render the audio separately in .ac3 format, but for some reason I cannot render both the video and audio together. It makes no sense to me. Any help would be appreciated.

  You need to render the video and audio seperatly, mpeg 2 and ac3. Put both in the same folder with the same name, just different extentions, and then render with DVDA as surround.
  You can howeveer render as wmv with surround sound as one file.
