Problems with rendering and the dvd not playing in the dvd player…any suggestions?
Hello all,
This is my first time to this forum and I hope I can get some good constructive help.
I have recently rendered a video in the mt2 format. I like doing this since the quality is good and is a widescreen format. I then use the sony DVD architect and burn the copy.
PROBLEM:
When I play the movie on ANY dvd player, it will NEVER play the whole movie…I always get a message that it cannot read the disc.Any solutions out there? Could it be the format? Size of the disc? (it only took up 1.2G of a 4.7G DVD)
Is there another format that I can render it in so the quality is good but I do not sacrifice the wide-screen format?
THANKS!

When you say you burned it with DVD Architect, did you create a DVD project and drop the m2t file into it and let DVD Architect convert it to an MPEG-2 file? MPEG-2 is the only format that DVD players can play. Your best bet would be to render to MPEG2 in the first place using one of the DVD Architect widescreen video stream templates in Vegas.

Well, I did as recommended and the video quality wasn’t as good as the m2t format. however, it does work completly now.
Any suggestions what would be the best way to format it?-even using the advanced options. I did interviews using and HD camera and would like to look sharp instead of fuzzy.
Thanks for the help!

Because a 720×480 DVD is NEVER going to look as good as the 1920×1080 HD source. The m2t has 5x the resolution. If you want discs that look as good as your source you need to buy a Blu-ray burner and Blu-ray player. Your DVD’s should look great for a DVD which is as good as DVD’s get.

Great. Thanks for your help. Silly me. I originally used the Mt2 video and re-formatted it…but I think it may be a better idea to just start from the original timeline.
Last question
Now which template is better…the DVD Architect 24p NTSC widescreen or the regular DVD Architect NTSC widescreen?What is the difference?
Thanks!

If you are specifically looking for achieve a film-like cadence, you can render using the 24p template. This will give you the 24p cadence but unless you were intending to produce a 24p product and you shot with 24p in mind (i.e., you deliberately kept horizontal pans slow so that they wouldn’t judder) it is best to stick with the DVD Architect NTSC widescreen template.

No, wasn’t intending on it. It is a sports tape and sometime the camera work is jerky…although never intentional. Thanks for all the help….I did do a search afterwords on this website and found more info. This is great having a sony vegas forum….I’m really learning alot.

Well John….bad news again.
The video looks awesome…I rendered it in a DVD architect widescreen mode with audio. Now my problem comes on DVD architect. After burning the DVDs…they SOMETIMES will play the entire way through the DVD…while other times….THEY STOP and the DVD player says “cannot read disc”
-So, what do I do? I try another DVD player to verify…same thing happens. Do you think that the DVD architect is broken or something is wrong with my dics? I’m even using SONY DVD-Rs. 🙁 This is really frustrating since I need to have this sports video done by monday.

[Beazly Johnson] “I rendered it in a DVD architect widescreen mode with audio.”
Does that mean you rendered separate video & audio (i.e. MPEG-2 & AC-3) streams?
“After burning the DVDs…they SOMETIMES will play the entire way through the DVD…while other times….THEY STOP and the DVD player says “cannot read disc””
What template (bitrate) did you use? Too high a bitrate can cause this problem.
“I’m even using SONY DVD-Rs”
Try the Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden brands instead.

I agree with Mike. Use the standard templates which contain the acceptable bitrates and try using a different brand of DVD. Preferably a high quality Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden as Mike suggested. Both of these brands have a “value” line as well. Get the better ones.
