I hope I can give you some of the answers but not all.
Letterboxing applies only if you have recorded the video in widescreen i.e. 16:9 format. If this is played back on a TV screen that is not widescreen then everything will look tall and thin. It will look correct only on a widescreen TV. This can be overcome by letterboxing the wide screen film which will then look normal on a 4:3 TV set, but will have a box round it. I always film in Widescreen and use letterboxing so that the film can then be viewed on all TV sets. Output frame size distinguishes between 4:3 format and 16:9 format.hope this helps. I also get “missing files” occasionally. When the programme finds them I then resave to the desired file.

All files saved automatically in DVD Architect are DAR files.

If you render the file and send to DVD Architect it should open in DVD Architect automatically. First thing then is to save the Dar file. Tne menu displayed will have a single button in the middle which is your movie. Retitle this to Play Movie and you are away, I think. You can also delete the word Menu from the menu page leaving just your play movie button.

I used Vegas 6 Revealed: The Official Guide by Doug Sahin. Available from amazon.com. It really covers the full version of Vegas 6 but it also works for Movie studio. Very good step by step practice.

I have done the same as you and never looked back! The method I use is to open Pinnacle studio and set a piece of soundsmart music to the required length. I then open Wavepad and set it to record using the “What you hear” setting. I then start record, switch to Pinnacle and start the playback. After it is finished I save the track as an Mp3 file which I can then put into Movie studio. For some reason i cannot manage to record from Pinnacle using Sound Forge Studio which is my main sound editor.

I meant to add that i am using Vegas movie studio 6.

I’m fairly new to this, but if you have an audio editor such as Wavepad or Audio Studio, I think that you could try saving the wma file as an MP3 file which should work in the audio track.

It worked! Many thanks to Jeremy and Ed for your help. No doubt I shall be contacting you again. It’s a long distance from here in Norfolk, England to the States, so God bless the Internet! Incidentally my son is a senior graphics specialist with HP in Fort Collins.

I am not sure why the line near the bottom edge is there, otherwise I agree that this would be the way to do it. I await your further coments. Thanks.

I have managed to do this but there is a line across the screen a little way up from the bottom. This is there whether I set recording for normal or widescreen for the analogue non-widescreen tape. I cannot simultaneously capture it in Video capture; although the video shows the moving image it stops as soon as I press the record button on the PC screen. If all else fails I may have to reinstall my old Pinnacle beakout box for use with the analogue film. I assume that it automatically converts to digital when captured in Vegas movie.
