This site is nothing good at all

It may help to explain your workflow to isolate where the problem lies. I use DVDA to create the DVD image, but then use Nero to do the disc burn as I found DVDA would either make coaster after coaster that could not be read on any player, or would sometimes lock up the PC, or the burn would never actually finish and the burner would keep on burning ad infinitum.

Start with a small and simple project, say 5 minutes, and take me step by step through your workflow to create the finished product (DVD). I work in 1080i HDV PAL and have done a number of weddings so I totally understand your pressure. I will try and help you through this. I still don’t know where the failing is in your process.

I do question your decision to use Vegas when you do not appear to be fully conversant with the product. My first wedding was in Vegas, which I did for nothing (as agreed) and it took me 100 hours to deliver the product. What were you using before Vegas? Can you resort to that whilst you learn Vegas as a fall back position?

Prior to using Vegas I used Pinnacle, dabbled (briefly) with Avid Liquid 7 before settling on Vegas Pro. I have not looked elsewhere since. Vegas has some stability issues occassionally, but it has never failed me once.

i know nigel, but i am convinced that there are things that some people should be told exactly this way, so they could understand it right.

Karen…

What was the question?

The only question I saw in all of the above was that you couldn’t find the manual. It’s easily downloaded from https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/download/manuals
