Imported MPEG Corrupt

[Jeff Pulera]

Hi John,

Did you render to “MPEG-2” or “MPEG-2 DVD”? Must be the latter for Encore/DVD compatibility.

If you can post a screen shot of the export settings used, that will be very helpful.

Thanks

The default is “DVD” in the Custom Setting / Output File

FYI: Also, I rendered a short length of the timeline and it was fine when I imported it.

Should I render and import separately video and audio streams? Also, Encore’s default setting has lower field priority, but Vegas MPEG default is Upper field first.

John,
DVD-assets should always be elementary streams, meaning audio + video in seperate files.

acc. to field-order: forget about what encores default, the dedicated field-order you should use with your encoder is depending on the source-file. upper needs to be encoded as upper, lower as lower, otherwise you´ll generate a field-shift, which will luck jurky and like jitter.

Thanks, Daniel,

I will do what you suggest. In the meantime I rendered an .AVI file and imported it, and had Encore transcode (?) it. I will get back to you.

Been a few years since I’ve worked with Vegas, so I don’t recall the exact output settings, but there ought to be some sort of preset specifically for DVD. A Transport Stream is NOT what you want, as Daniel stated.

It is important to have the separate video and audio clips for Encore – anything else will need to transcode (re-encode again). You should have an .m2v video clip, and audio can be .wav or .ac3 (Dolby stereo).

Daniel is also correct about field order. NTSC DV is normally lower field first. If starting with 1080i material, then that is Upper and you can stick with UFF for the DVD, otherwise LFF is normal.

Here is a list of the Vegas MPEG output options:

Which should I use?

FYI: I have mixed 1920 X 1080 with 1440 X 1080i on my timeline.

Do I pick “MPEG” or “DVD” in my Output Type?
