VERY bizarre rendering issues
Okay, so I rendered my 70 minute project directly into Mainconcept MPG for the first time.
All prior times I’ve been rendering to .avi and then letting DVD Architect compress it.
I figured I would go directly to MPG so I could control the bit rate, as well as get the “enhanced for widescreen” effect that I talked about in my earlier thread.
However, 3 VERY bizarre issues came up in the final file that I’d never seen before.
1) At one point in the .VEG file I have one video event layered onto another. The one underneath is supposed to be not visible at all. For some reason in this new render, at one point the “underneath” video starts fading in for very brief moments. Almost like a double-exposed photograph. This is NOT an opacity issue and I have NEVER had this problem when rendering the same .VEG to .avi. Of course I could go through the .VEG and delete all “hidden” video events, but WHY is this happening in the first place?
2) At another point, black frames begin to shudder into frame, many times and rapidly, like you are watching the video through a strobe light. I am aware of Vegas 7’s random dropped frames flaw and have had that show up in my .AVI’s before, but NEVER like this, many in a row and rapidly. What gives?
3) The one that seems to bother me most, is that it seems that all my cuts have been changed to very quick fades!! This is obviously a byproduct of some kind of image compression, I am sure that I have noticed this happening slightly on previous DVD iterations of this same project, but NEVER to this extent. It is almost as if there are NO cuts anymore. If the cut is sudden, ie a jump cut or a cut to a very different image, IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. Is there something I set up wrong in the settings to create this?!
WHY OH GOD WHY AM I AFFLICTED WITH THESE PROBLEMS?!
As mentioned above, I am using Vegas 7. I am wiling to upgrade to Vegas 9 if it will fix these problems for the render (it is worth that much to me). However, if these problems aren’t fixable, then is there a way that I can render to a different format (different MPG codec perhaps) and have it be (a) DVD ready (b) enhanced for widescreen (c) 24p and (d) have control over the variable bit rate?
Thanks to all for reading this lost post and I thank you in advance for any help. I’m desparate!

That is strange. Make sure that you have the very latest version of Vegas 7. If you do, download the trial of 9.0b and see if it fixes the problem. If it does, buy it. If it doesn’t, report the problems to Sony. They definitely sound like bugs that should be fixed.

Tell me, Robbie, at what point are you “viewing” this MPEG?
Grazie

I am viewing the MPG within DVD Architect, after the MPG has been rendered and imported into DVDA but before it’s been burned to disc.
