  • Cannot change custom settings when rendering with DVDA template

    Posted by Jimmy Neilson on March 24, 2009 at 4:38 pm

    I rendered one copy of a project i’m working on under the DVDA NTSC Video template with best quality and a 2nd pass in vegas video 8.0 and it looks incredible. But I decided that I would rather have the movie in 24p so I tried rendering the project again but it won’t allow me to change the custom settings. Any template I try (including the original template I rendered it in and the 24p one) will now go back to the default template. I can render the movie in 24p with one pass and only good quality but the image is significantly less impressive. Anyone know what’s going on? It’s extremely frustrating especially since it was working literally 6 hours (the time it took to render) before hand. I even tried restarting the program and my computer twice.

    here are some screen shots to show precisely what’s going on

    so I select the DVD Architect NTSC 24 P template:

    I go to custom and select the settings that I want and then press ok:

    and then immediately the template changes back to (untitled):

    This happens with either DVDA NTSC or DVDA NTSC 24P, but just last night it worked perfectly under DVDA NTSC.

    After you make your changes, save it as a new template before you press OK.
    This is done by typing a new name (or modifying the existing one) in the Template box at the top of the Video tab and then pressing the Save icon (looks like a floppy disc).
    You can change the description if you’re so inclined but it’s not necessary.

    thank you! and another question: I’ve burnt two copies of the movie, one regular and one in 24p and I’m not quite satisfied with either. The 24p version looks much slower than 24fps and isn’t very smooth. The regular version on the other hand looks very fast in comparison. a happy medium would be nice. thanks for the help though!

    Glad to hear that it worked for you.
    I don’t do 24p so hopefully someone else can offer a suggestion for you.
