Thanks Spot

Fairly easy to set up then? That Convergent Design SD Connect wseems to be a little out of my price range at this point. ha ha

Hi Charlie

Truth? I don’t know! Over at the Swish Video forum that’s what was suggested. Something about WMV being inherently progressive (de-interlaced). They said it was a better choice than AVI and I don’t remember if I can render to Flash 8 in Vegas 7. Have to look again.

Here’s one of the quotes I got from them…..

“Flash 8 is way closer to what WMV offers in terms of quality.
To make it simple (no offence to be taken), MX is to Mpeg1 what Flash 8 is to Mpeg4. (WMV is a Mpeg4 like format)”.

If it makes sense to you, then please explain it to me. The whole idea for this entire subject was I wanted to put a short 1 minute clip online for someone to see. WMV is an internet type of format. But then so is Flash so I just thought to try them both. The Flash 8 looked better.

I think I have the links to both files in a post above. Take a look.

Okay Thanks Gary

So that’s why the Swish Video fellow told me WMV was the better choice. Now all I got to do i figure out bitrates size (he suggested 480 x 320) 15fps (Using MX) But now I got the ON2 VP6 video codec 6.4.2 installed so now I have the Flash 8 encoding option in Swish Video.

I don’t know if installing that codec will have any effect in Vegas or not though as an encode option also.

What threw me was he said he zoomed in on my video and said it looked like I forgot to de-interlace when I rendered to WMV. You said Vegas does that automatically?

Anyway have a look at what we’re talking about…..

Hi Charlie

Thanks much. Now I understand. Only for encoding to Flash! Yea, I was going in the wrong direction then.

Actually Swish Video 2 will de-interlace but the other fellow said it would be better if I did it in Vegas and that’s what started this thread. 😉

I’ll try it both ways. Let SV2 do it and get a seperate clip in a new Vegas Project file (copy/paste) and try it in the properties ad Ed suggested above.

Thanks again

Actually I’m only picking a portion fo the entire video. I don’t think I shoud change the properties for the entire video just to get 1 minute worth?

Maybe I should render as DV-AVI and start a new project withy that clip, then render to WMV with your suggestions above?

Hi Ed
Thanks. That explains it better. I’ll check the help file.

Normally I wouldn’t want to do this? Under what circumstances would I do this?

Hi Jerry
Don’t see it. Those 24p or 30p are shown for HD. This is a SD and I’m rendering for WMV. Hmmmmm.
