  • Does MPEG-2 have to be interlaced?

    Posted by Shaun Swanson on September 5, 2008 at 7:02 pm

    I’m using Vegas 6. Can I change the MPEG-2 template to be non-interlaced???

    I can edit any other template but the Custom button is grayed out when I choose MPEG-2 for my file type.

    Is there a way to change this? Is it a bug?

    Thanks

    register your mpeg plugin, and you’ll be able to customize

    How do I register it? I can’t find anything in the help files. When I search the internet all I get is info on how to “crack” it. I want to do it legally.

    Thank you.

    As I recall, you need DVD Architect to get MPEG-2 capability.

    I have it. Both programs were bought and installed together.

    Then it should work.
    Did you ever register DVDA?
    Have you moved to a new computer and forgot to register it?

    If this is a “Movie Studio” version, the custom button will NOT be available – it’s only available in the full version.

    If this is a full version, Here’s a possible solution.

    It is the Movie Studio version. Any ideas on what I can do next? We can’t purchase the full version until next year’s budget starts.

    Is there is an affordable alternative to the MainConcept mpeg plug-in for Vegas?

    Will DVD A accept any other kind of files?

    Or, is there a way to deinterlace the Sony mpeg without wrecking it?

    Thanks for all the help.
    This forum is awesome.

    I don’t have access to VMS right now, but can’t you render to a deinterlaced format in VMS? I know for certain there are progressive templates.

    Yes, I can save to Quicktime, WMV and several other formats, but I was under the assumption that only an mpeg-2 will work on a DVD player.

    Is this wrong?
