Phantom frames…
Having just completed burning a recently edited project and now viewing it for the first time on TV, I noticed what appears to be very short snippets of commercials I swear I removed from the original source. In this case, the original source was a VHS tape of a TV show that had commercials in it. Using DVD-VMS, I drilled down to individual frames at all video/commercial junctures to ensure I saw no video nor heard any audio. Once satisfied I removed all traces of the commercial, I butted the two pre/post-commercial video segments together and then previewed this new union to verify successful removal of the commercial. Once I had all the commercials removed, I went back and added Fade-in/outs to all new unions by overlapping the segments and again previewed each Fade to verify the results. Satisfied with my project, I Rendered it as an AVI and sent it to DVD-AS, created a simple Menu and Rendered it as an MPEG utilizing the ‘Optimize’ and ‘Fit-to-Disk’ option.
Based on the info I’ve shared, can anyone give me any suggestions as to why I might be seeing small snippets of previously removed commercials reappearing yet not detectable in the pre-burn previews?
Thanks…

It’s really hard to say. My first though would be that instead of overlapping the events, you lengthened the events. However, you said you previewed the transitions and they looked fine. You also didn’t say HOW you captured or what format your source files were.

Thanks Edward for your reply. As I’m certain other Vegas users eager to learn a thing or two about this application do, I also utilize other forums to seek guidance. I believe the answer to my quandary was most appropriately addressed at the following link utilizing the same Subject title, ‘Phantom frames’;
