    I keep trying to add Chapter markers in DVD Architect 5.0 after rendering in Sony Video Vegas 8 and keep getting the message “The media file type you are trying to save markers does not support it.”

    I’ve rendered (hours!!) in WMV and M2T, but neither seems to work. What file type does DVD Architect support marker and chapter saving???

    wow…I can’t believe I had time to render 7 hours of video and no answer.

    For anyone that cares, I rendered to AVI and I was able to save chapters, so that is 1 format that allows saving chapters.

    There has to be more.

    Sorry that you didn’t get any answers.
    DVDA prefers to get MPEG-2 & AC-3 files.
    If this is correctly done from Vegas (i.e. the right bitrate), it won’t have to recompress anything and the Prepare/Burn operation is very quick.

    Thanks. Good information that I didn’t know, since there are a TON of rendering choices from VV8.

    I’m rendering an MPEG-2 now. Which BTW…8.1 64 bit on Vista 64 is significantly faster.

    Ken, Vegas has a lot of render options because it depends on what your final use is.
    For standard DVD though, MPEG-2 for video & AC-3 for audio (or AVI, but this has to be recompressed in DVDA) are the recommended choices.

    I have a similar issue, I have a VHS ip and rendered in mp4 but can not save makers in this format, tried to render in meg2 and avi but both formats end up huge files (more than 4.7 gb) too large for a dvd, how can I render in these formats to fit on a dvd?

    I looked in the settings but its all greek to me

    What’s a “VHS ip”?
    What version of Vegas do you have (i.e. Pro or Movie Studio)?
    As I said above, if you’re making a DVD, MPEG-2 & AC-3 or PCM are the usual render options for making a DVD in DVD Architect.
    Encoding (rendering) settings depend on the length of the program.

    How long is the program that you’re trying to convert to DVD?
    BTW, DVD Architect will take a DV-AVI file (no matter how large) and fit it to DVD for you if you don’t want to learn the other steps involved.

    What about the creation of a blu-ray dvd ( blu ray format on a 8.5gb dvd ).
    So far the markers are not exported (Vegas pro 9 ) in any reliable fashion. I need to have somewhere near 24Mbps to be at least match avchd/canon vixia camera output.

    Why bother with markers if its not exportable
