Rendering Problem on Sony Vegas
I own Sony Vegas Pro 8, but honestly I am still learning it. I recently encountered a problem that I have no idea how to fix, if you know this problam can you help me out PLEASE!!!
I video taped my sisters wedding on the Sony PD150 camera. I captured it on Sony vegas with default settings. I edited the whole thing which is 1 hour and then took it over to DVD architect to burn. Everything was fine.
Except when I pop the DVD into my DVD player to watch it the video you can see pixels in the footage. The quality is not good!!!
My questions is this a rendering problem on vegas or on DVD architect? and if so do you know what I can do to fix it PLEASE?

What do you mean you can see pixels in the footage? Did you zoom in a lot with Vegas? What were your project settings? What were your render settings? Sony PD150 footage should look great on DVD.

I’m going to assume that you burned to a regular DVD-R5 (purple) disc, correct? Sometimes, especially at higher speeds, I have had discs come out like that. I’m imagining these “pixels” to be large blocks of color that will pop up from time to time or in large groups. Maybe even a TON right at the begining? Am I right?
I believe it’s the media to blame. DVDs were originally meant to be replicated, and DVD-Rs can sometimes be annoying. Sometimes what I will do, is after the disc comes out, I rub the disc on my shirt and for some reason, it works just fine after that. Though, I’ve noticed that if you give a couple seconds of slug/black at the begining of the first media, it should come out just fine.
I’ve done a lot of DVD projects in Architect and if there’s errors on the disc it’s ALWAYS been the media to blame.

Hi There,
I am rendering in vegas with default settings. You can see pixels once in a while throughout the footage. I’m assuming it’s a rendering problem? But I’m not 100% sure. Or could it be a DVD architect problem?

> I am rendering in vegas with default settings.
Try using settings that are appropriate for your footage and target delivery format. If you are in the US or Japan try rendering to MPEG2 using the NTSC DV template. In other countries use the PAL DV template. Render MPEG2 from Vegas instead of having DVD Architect convert an AVI file to get the best quality.

Sound like it may be compression artifacts. Do you see these during really busy scenes? (especially scenes with running water) MPEG2 does have it’s limits.
