Activity Forums VEGAS Pro DVDA 6 seems confused

  • DVDA 6 seems confused

    Posted by Willie Bobo on December 3, 2013 at 7:28 pm

    I have a 39 minute mpg from a DVDA template in Vegas 12 with a PCM wave file. DVDA 6 shows it to be only 2.2 GB but it reports it’s too big for the 4.7 GB DVD-R I’m using.
    It burns fine and plays fine I’m just curious why it would throw the error/warning.
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Sounds to me like DVDA is up to it’s old tricks of playing dumb 🙁
    This has been an issue since I started using the program.
    Ignore the warning and odds are that things will proceed as expected.

    Thanks Mike, I did ignore and it played fine…weird I’ve never seen this if it’s a known issue….thanks again sir!

    Glad I could help Randy.
    Yes, it’s a known issue but it doesn’t happen every time which makes it that much more frustrating.

    What I find even stranger is after I did some CC on the veg file, re-rendered with the same name (replacing the other one)and then burned another DVD in the same folder as the other TS, DVDA didn’t ask me if I wanted to replace it…but it did…yikes, seems like that could be a little dangerous.

    I avoid the curve ball it throws at times and use
    ConvertXtoDVD sometimes.

    Don’t use the same folder.

    I structure my projects this way:

    ../ProjectName (At this level I put the veg files, images, and other files needed to edit the project)
    …./Capture (Raw camera files go here)
    …./DVD Files (MP2 and AC3 files plus any other assets for the DVD go here)
    ……/DVD (This is where I tell DVDA to send the Prepare files)
