Can’t render to AC3 in Vegas 5.0d for DVDA
I recently installed XP Pro and re-installed everything. Mow I’m working on a DVD project. I rendered the video to MPEG-2 and I automatically got the license.
Then I went to render the audio to AC3 like I’ve always done and I get a message that I have to purchase the encoder.
Anyone know what gives here?

Installing and registering DVDA should have automatically registered both MPEG2 and AC3. If it did not do so, contact customer service and they will be able to assist you with this.

Thanks Ed
I have already created a support incident at Sony. As a thought I rendered the audio to both OGG and WAV to try to get the project to fit on 1 DVD. It seems that DVDA is/will render to AC3, but it’s in process so I don’t know if it will or not.If DVDA does render to AC3, then there’s a problem with my installation of Vegas. I’ll find out but I wanted to get this project done by Sunday night to deliver a draft to the client. Guess now I’ll have to wait!

Letting DVDA do the render should be fine.
In what order did you install the programs?

I believe it was Vegas 5 first then DVDA. If they need to be reversed, I can do that

That’s the order I did them in as well and it did not ask me for any additional registrations.

I know Ed, It’s wierd. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to wait to hear from Sony on my support incident then.
Got a first run graphic to do, then I’ll se if DVDA-2 will render the AC3.
Got to re-render the movie anyway as it’s too big for the DVD. But I don’t know because the DVD compilation is showing 4,2GB and a DVD is 4.7 ????

The usable space on a single layer DVD is 4.3GB.

Hi
Ed, you’re not going to believe this but now it’s working. Out of the clear blue! Darn if I know. Just renedered 2 files WAV to AC3 and no problem. hmmmm.Gary
Thanks, I forgot. First render was MPEG-2 DVDa video stream at default except for the min value which I changed to 2,000,000.Now I’m re-rendering the original file according to Ed’s bitrate chart in VT&T Vol 1 No 7. Video is 1’45” so min value to 2,000,000 Mid value to 5,542,000 and high left at 8.
PS; Where’s my Excalibur 4 + DVD? ha ha
Thanks all for the help.
