Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Architect shutting down with Sony AVC file

  • Architect shutting down with Sony AVC file

    Posted by Mark Krueger on September 17, 2011 at 6:53 pm

    I rendered a project in Vegas Pro 9 using a Sony AVC format. The video was about 1 hour and 17 min. It took about five hours to render this.

    I tried to use this file in Architect Pro 5. Every time I tried to load it, the program shut down. (not responding). It was able to load the Audio file ( a different file) fine.

    Any ideas here?

    DVDA prefers an MPEG-2 file for video and an AC-3 file for audio.
    Render to those formats and try it again.

    Even for bluray…. I rendered before with avc and it worked fine, but it was a much smaller file (video was 13 min). Will mepeg2 give me as good results?

    Are you sure you gave it enough time?

    You have to give DVDa enough time to analyze the file. The bigger the file then the longer the “not responding” signal. For a 3 hour avc file it can take upwards of a 1/2 hour for DVDa to analyze.

    Great… Thank you. I just let it sit there and it eventually loaded. FYI once it loaded once, the file was able to reload in another DAR file very quickly… so I good, but I don’t know why.

    DVDa only needs to analyze a given video once. After the first analysis a file is written with the necessary info. From that point on DVDa will simply refer to the file.
