Mpeg2 render question
I have a wedding video I need to output to DVD. It is an hour and a half long and Vegas doesnt make it all the way thru during renders(avi or mpeg 2) When I do AVI’s, I usually selectively pre-render the whole thing first, then render to one whole avi file. What I dont understand is that, why cant vegas just instantly assemble all of the tiny selective avis into one large avi?!?!?
Anyway, my question is kind of based off that concern. I rendered the movie to two mpeg2 files. I want to combine those two files to make one mpeg for dvd architect. I put both of them on the timeline and do the render. It goes through the whole super lenghthy process again and then fails! Shouldnt it just instantly make the two mpegs into one? I use the same settings, nothing is different. Im pulling my hair out guys! Anybody have any advice? Thanks fellas.

Vegas can’t instantly assemble an avi because it has to copy all those little ones and zeros from one file to another.
Vegas is unable to join up two or more Mpeg files without re-rendering them, which would probably be an unacceptable amount of compression.
You are best off rendering your Mpeg2 directly from your original project.

The original question doesn’t provide a lot of detail, but the first sentence could be a clue that the usr is trying to render to a FAT partition and not NTFS.

Your best solution would be to render all your avi’s to one mpeg file (provided your drive isn’t a fat32 as Steve has suggested)
Putting the two mpeg files back onto the timeline and re-rendering would result in additional compression which is not advised.
