  editing mpegs

  Posted by Nancy Pinney on April 6, 2009 at 12:43 am

  Hi, I have a movie just about set to finalize in DVD architect, but need to make a couple adjustments that involve adding a portion of new mpeg2 file. I don’t have the files as an avi, so can I edit my rendered mpeg2 with the new mpeg2 and then render them together without loss of quality?

  If you are using Vegas 7 or Vegas Pro 8, and the render format matches the MPG files exactly, and you have not change the files in any way with FX, etc., then Vegas will “smart render” the files. This means it will simply copy the input to the output with no loss of quality.

  If, however, one of the MPG files doesn’t match the output format exactly, or you add FX, or you are using Vegas 6 or below, then Vegas will re-render the files and there will be a quality loss.

  Hi John,
  I am using Vegas 8 and files are the same. So it looks like I’m good to go.
  Many Thanks! Nancy
