DVDA 4.5 wants to recompress an MPEG file
I have a Vegas 6 project and DVDA wants to re render “track 2” in one of my mpegs…
Where its getting track 2 in an mpg rendered file is sort of weird also.. but that’s what it says…
I’ve gone back and loaded the veg file and re-rendered it- even with no adjustments ( NTSC DVDA stream )…
once again.. i’m getting that DVDA wants to re-render this mpg file (track 2 )…
Any clue as to what’s going on with this ??
thanks

Did you render the audio separately? If you have rendered all your video in Veags using the proper template then it will not recompress your video or audio. Check that first.

yes.. ( ive used vegas since version 4 ) and this is really strange.
i’m using some background layers ,,, i even made sure i “selected all” prior to the render.. just in case.
it’s the track 2 thing that has me confused… how would an mpg video file have more than one track? when no audio is selected?..
I’ll work through this some more.. ive rendered the file several times.. i might render it to an AVI first — that might give me a clue.

Sorry but I am still at loss to understand what you mean by track 2? Architect does not work with tracks as does Vegas and if you render it to another format then it will recompress it in Architect. Do you have subtitles or alternate audio steams?
I presume you meant that your second track in Vegas is the one that is the problem. Perhaps I am just missing the point here. How large is your overall project? Are you using any non compliant renders as part of the overall setup? What happens if you let Architect recompress the file? Do you lose noticeable quality? Sorry for all the questions just trying to get a grasp on what your situation is.

Within DVDA, navigate into your video and make sure you didn’t accidentally add another video track (aka, angle). Even if it’s empty, DVDA has to encode that track.

Good point let us know if that was the cause…

Alas, I suspect that the “angle” angle probably wasn’t it. I just tried that, the message DVDA gives is different.
Don’t mind the “track 2” reference. That’s just what DVDA calls the video stream — track 1 is the audio.
The question is why DVDA wants to recompress it. First, try saving the project, closing it, and reopening. Just doing that might get DVDA to recognize that the file doesn’t need to be recompressed.
If not, then maybe it does need to be for some reason. You say you used the DVDA video stream template, so the settings are probably fine. But just in case, post the specs that are listed below DVDA’s explorer window when you select that file.
Also go to the Optimize Disc dialog (File > Optimize) and note whether there are checkmarks or exclamation points next to that video.

you don’t have any video buttons on the video timeline, do you?

thanks for the clue of digging into the error messages… turns out my de-interlace settings were changed.. i was rendering some media for a flash render and forgot about it in my project settings… I’m not sure why Vegas came back to that setting but now i know… de interlace setting was not set to none..
thanks again for all the help on this one… Wayne
