Same thing happened to me. Closed my file last night as usual, there was a “force close” error message because an “operation was working in the background”. In haste I inadvertently clicked okay. This happened once before but my files were okay. Tried to open the file today to find it was gone completely from the folder. I did a search and nothing. At all! Found your reply, Mike, through a Google search and your suggestion worked. I’ve done smaller projects where I’d also save as differnt versions of backup, but didn’t even think to do it with this one.

I logged in just to tell you thank you! I thought I had to recreate everything.

Thank you so much, John. I’m sure I’ll have more questions in the near future. You’ve been very insightful and helpful! *breathes out*

By the way! This should’ve come first… THANK YOU for the quick response and the insight! So much appreciated, John. Especially with deadlines coming up.

That makes sense and I wish I knew that before! I almost worry having to combine the two files will cause problems, but I am definitely going to try it. In fact, after reading your reply to the previous post I tried it last night. Turns out the overall rendering time for both seemed fairly quick.

I chose to render to the WAV file (I saw on the Sony site you can choose either the Dolby Ac3 or the PCM WAV file). Rendered wonderfully and the audio quality was fab! However, the video didn’t seem HQ. Will this change once it’s dropped into the DVD Architect? I read up on interlacing and NTSC, resolution, etc. Says what looks like the “combing” effect on the video won’t show on a TV. This proved to be true, but I’ve not rendered in the way you suggested (separate files).

Thoughts? Suggestions?

John, I’ve been searching for different answers and you tend to be pretty active and helpful. Thank you!

My question here in this post is, I also film with a Sony Handycam (AVCHD) and work with Sony Vegas Pro 10 and DVD Architect. You say to render the video and the audio separately? I usually render my project as is (audio and video), then drop the video into Architect and it seems to work. I’m not sure what you mean by render the audio with different settings. Do you mean in the audio options?

Hi, Paul!

In searching for answers to a different question I came across your inquiry regarding MOFF and MODD files. I’m copying and pasting the info for your convenience and will provide source link below. I also use PMB and wondered what the MOFF and MODD files were used for. Thanks to your question… now I know! 🙂

by trial and error…
MOFF file is used by Picture Motion Browser to “show expanded thumbnails”. This function can be turned on/off by the menu button on the upper right. Losing MOFF is no big deal.
