Activity Forums VEGAS Pro Best codec for HQ slide show

  • Best codec for HQ slide show

    Posted by Paul Gregory on May 3, 2010 at 2:48 am

    I have lots of high quality digital photos which I would like to create the best quality slide show possible.

    I do have a TV than can display 1920x1080P as well as both a media player box & a PVR that can play most codec’s. I don’t have a blue ray player & as I understand things that is that only device capable of displaying the necessary HQ files as well as being able to create a disk that has menus, chapter points etc. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

    I think that the h264 codec with the MKV container allows for high quality as well as being capable of having chapter points. Is this correct, or should I be using some other codec? How does one get chapter points into a MKV container if Vegas doesn’t do it automatically?

    All suggestions are welcome

    Thanks in advance

    Vegas doesn’t support MKV files so you cannot do this with Vegas. I would the Sony AVC codec for HD targeted for a media player.

    Yes, my Vegas movie studio HD 10.0 stops at Installing VST plug Ins. I’m at my wits end. Does anyone know what to do? It would be such a big help.

    You should start a new thread for a completely different topic.

    I suspect that one of your VST plug-ins is causing the problems. You can find out which one by moving them all out the the VST folder and adding them back one-by-one and restarting Vegas. When Vegas stops loading, the last one you added back is the problem VST.
