Size limit by project???

[Edmundo Ferreira] “Got no lucky with stereoscopic projects…”
Oh, sorry I wouldn’t know. I’ve never edited 3D. I guess there is no way to do this then.

[Mike Kujbida] “I always give DVDA rendered MPEG-2 and AC-3 files and never have any problems other than it telling me that the file is too big.”
Yea, this is what I use as well and have never had any problems because DVD Architect doesn’t have to re-render the file and it just takes the file size at face value.

It sounds like you are letting DVDA re-encode the file to fit the disc. If so, big mistake. I very frequently have 1.5 to 2-hours on a DVD, sacrificing a bit of quality to make it fit on the disc. Encoded filesize is entirely dependent on the bitrate. The default bitrate in the MPEG encoder in Vegas is good for about 70-minutes of video.
Google “Mark’s DVD Bitrate Calculator”. This one has never let me down. Just plug in the variables, select VBR and transfer the results to the Customize Preset in the Render As menu.

Stephen: Thanks, good to know. How do I keep it from re-encoding it?

You give DVDA a DVDA compliant MPEG2 file (using the DVDA template in Vegas) less than 4.37Gb and DVDA won’t try to recompress it.

Maybe this is my chance to re-invigorate a thread I started Dec 13. My issue then was failure to open a .veg file. The .bak file would not open either. This was, for me at least, a very large Vegas 12 project. as much as 50+ hrs of HDV footage.(maybe more) As the editing progressed, my veg file got slower and slower to open, and then finally failed to open. the veg file was 3,846kbs when it refused to open. A restore file from a few days earlier did open, but it’s size was only 3,478kbs. I reverted to that file, lost 2 days work, began editing and again made it to 3,800 kbs when the new file failed to open on the next session.
Looks like I hit a brick wall. can you say “size limit”?
so I doubled my RAM to 24GB and the performance did not change.
The vegas120.exe in task manger process window showed approx 1,200,000k when they reached the point where they would no longer open.
The fileIOsurrogate.exe32 showed showed over 700,000K at the point where the project would not open.
I got no where in my last thread about this issue. Just a “ask Sony”. They recommended I install build 486 to solve the problem. LMFAO..
After that install nothing would open, not even the old restore file. The issue there turned out to be thumbnail creation. long story.
So…. I’m not asking anyone reading this for a solution to my little problem here. Just reaffirm that either “YES” we have built Vegas 12 projects that exceed 3,846kbs, or “NO” that is the largest .veg file we have ever heard of.

I guess that’s one way to shut a thread down.
Is maximum .veg file size a sacred cow (pun intended) not to be discussed? I sure can’t get an answer.

No drives formatted in FAT32?
-
no

The drives are all formatted NTFS, and the .veg file size I’m talking about is just under 4 meg, so not really a fat 32 issue.
