  “Render As” (details inside)

  Hi. I have Sony Vegas 6 and cannot, for the life in me, properly chop up a video file.
  Lets say I have a 10 minute clip that needs to be trimmed to 7 minutes. In Vegas, I highlight the 3 minutes I don

  The important thing is what the settings are that you use for the render.

  For example, to match what you already are working with, set the following in the render dialog:

  Save as type: avi
  Template: Default (uncompressed)
  Then in Custom tab: Video: Frame Size 320 x 240

  FYI, the preferred method is to capture video in DV avi which is much more compressed, but may look evn better than what you are getting at the reduced frame size. You need a device (box or camcorder) that will transcode the analog signal to digital, though. DV avi is 13 Gigs/hour.

  To expand on Gary’s answer:

  I wouldn’t settle for a capture at that low a resolution (320X240). If you intend to make a DVD (720X480) out of it, it’s going to look terrible.

  If you can’t find a setting somewhere in your ‘TV input device’ to get 640X480, you’re going to have to consider a different method. Like he said, if you have to, borrow a miniDV camera and use that to convert – at least it’ll get your capture to 720X480.

  PS I know nothing about 8mm analog video, but I just can’t imagine it was ever limited to a resolution that low.
