Rendering to DVCPRO50 in Vegas Pro 10
Needing some help… I am producing a 30 minute TV program for our church. I’m using Sony Vegas Pro 10; my footage is 1440 X 1080 HDV from a Canon XH-A1. In Vegas, I was using the DV/DVCPRO-NTSC Codex to render too having the frame size set at 720 x 480 (4:3) and the file format as DVCPRO-NTSC… all worked well, play well on the TV station’s server.
The TV station suggested I use DV/DVCPRO50 as the codex to get a little better quality. I downloaded RayLight Encoder Pro (which has the DVCPRO50 codex) as a plugin for Vegas. I go through the render process as before , choose the DVCPRO50 as the video format and render my project. Here is the problem… now the TV station’s server can’t play the file. The engineer sent me this message about the file…
file showing 16:9 and wont play back from our server. Interesting that when I run it through quicktime player it reads it as DVCPRO50 – NTSC, 720 x 480 (853 x 480)… the 853 x 480 is 16:9…
So my question is, how can I fix this so the final file is 720 x 480 (4:3) and not 16:9?

Did you press the Configure… button after selected DVCPRO50 as the video format? This should have an option for setting the aspect ratio. (at least it does with DV/DVCPRO)

You’re right, the DVCPRO has this “Config” option button where 16:9 or 4:3 can be chosen, however, the “Config” option does not work for the DVCPRO50… I’m thinking it’s because DVCPRO50 is not native to Sony Vegas.

Yea, could be. I would contact RayLight and see what they say.
