DVD3… How best to add video clips…

[Edward Troxel]

Ok, I see where you’re coming from now. It might be possible to render them all once and then use something like TMPGenc or Womble to stitch them together.

Hey Edward…

This sort of thing could work too… Thanks.

I’m focusing a bit on Playback compatibility up above… so if you get a moment drop by there.

I’m sure you’ll have some good tips there too.

Thanks again…

Hello Steve
As the first step I would do make a Vegas rendered mpeg for the start and one for the end.
Secondly make the unique for this DVD Vegas rendered mpeg file.
The next step is to open VideoReDo plus and put these three files together in to a new mpeg file that you drop into DVDArchitect. One lack in this is that you will miss the chapters from Vegas. I am trying to get the VideoReDo developers to deal with Vegas Video chaptering and DVDArchitect so that the chapter files may be kept.

Here’s another idea. I haven’t tried it, but it might work.

Make your first project in DVDA3.

For subsequent projects, in DVDA3 – open the DAR file from the first project, and select the media that’s changing from the prior project and select “Replace”. Give DVDA the path to the new project media.

When you go to prepare the DVD, the new “Smart Prepare” feature will think that this is an old project with new media and it will zoom through the unchanged media in seconds.
