Vegas Designers Should Be Embarrassed…

[Richard Moskowitz]

Thanks for the advise. I did a low level and a bare bones of win 7 64. Just tried a render and still hugely out of sync.

Richard, the latest build is 428. Not saying anything else than at least get the most recent Build – yeah?

Grazie

Greeting All,
I do VHS to DVD transfer for clients all the time. I’ve had a hick-up before when I was jumping between 16×9 and 4×3 templates and not watching if I grabbed a 24p template or not. The pull-down has thrown off my audio before. When that happenned I just work the chain to find the problem. You need to make sure that your audio setting and your video settings in export/render work with each other. The Main Concept – while not up dated is good and reliable. In fact VAAST’s freebie of DVD Prep (Shout out to John there – I think that one was yours wasn’t it?) is a great little script that makes things pretty simple.

I think your Windows Movie Maker experience worked and was simply because it has very simple options and the stars aligned for you. Sooner or later though, you will throw it either something too long or not to it’s liking and it will freak or just take eons to render. It’s like using a Black & Decker cordless screwdriver to drive in screws. It works for little things, but man, I wouldn’t want to use it to put in a deck. That’s when you want a real screw gun (Vegas).

I’d be more than happy to share any settings with you for templates I’ve made, should it help…Oh and another great tool to have hand when doing tranfers is “Mark’s DVD Bitrate Calculator” it’s a java dealy that is such a great tool for crunching number for rendering out .mpg for any video length to DVD.

We’re here to help you. 🙂

Good point. make sure that your project and render setting match your media.

Guilty as charged. lol 😉 (glad you find it useful)

I’m starting to think it might be the media files if it’s not the project settings. If you reformatted and did a clean install there must be something about the media files that is causing Vegas Pro to go out of sync.

Just a wild guess here – The AVermedia makes an MPEG2 file, and I’ll bet the audio is multiplexed and at a different clock rate than what Vegas expects.

In my opinion, MPEG2 is a horrible format to use for an intermediate.

Out of curiosity, have you tried to render the video only to Mpeg2 and then the audio to AC-3 and use DVD Architect to make a DVD, and see if it is on sync.. Or even just render the video to Mpeg2 and the audio to AC-3 and then make a new project and drop them on the time lines and then render as normal. I know the quality will not be the same but it is just to try and work out what the problem is not.. rather than what the problem may be…

[Richard Moskowitz]

Many thanks for the suggestion. I did try it. Rendering video and audio separately went fine, but I can only drop the video portion as a new project on the timeline. I had rendered the audio portion as .ac3 as you suggested, but Vegas wont let me drop the audio into the timeline. And neither of the files are listed in the explorer of Vegas. I dropped the video portion by going to windows explorer, but the .ac3 wouldn’t take on the timeline.

[Richard Moskowitz] “but I can only drop the video portion as a new project on the timeline. I had rendered the audio portion as .ac3 as you suggested, but Vegas wont let me drop the audio into the timeline.”

That’s correct. They are not meant to be edited. I thought you were making a DVD? AC3 audio is for DVD’s.
