I would download the excellent freeware CCleaner from https://www.piriform.com. When installed run the ‘registry’ option and clean your registry. Then try reinstalling Vegas.

Hi Miriam,
The best solution, which I eventually found on the internet is to use the following link:
https://convert.wajihah.com/
Just paste the Arabic text into the LARGE white box and hit the button. It switches it around, so that by the time you paste the result into Vegas and Vegas edits it, it should then look fine.Antoine

Thanks Mark, but I’m using Vista. But I’ll try your method. Could you please detail what I should do exactly?

Great thanks for your help again.

I used DVD+R discs and finalized (NB I also tried inserting an un finalized disc just to see if it would work – it didn’t, as expected my computer didn’t even read it). Yes, my computer can read these finalized discs no problem. I am very up to date with all firmware and software for all hardware and software on my computer. (A little bit obsessive compulsive in this respect!). I have also just reread the manual and can’t see anything I haven’t followed. Just another thing if I may – Vegas indicated the vobs produced by the Philips DVD recorder are interlaced upper field first. When rendering to mpeg2 I change the default from lower field first to upper (to match the source). Is this the correct procedure?

Great, thanks for your time Mike. Always good to know if you’re in the right direction. Model number of DVD Recorder is Philips DVDR 610. I used ‘M2’ setting for recording, which was highest possible with this model. (I believe this achieves an average bitrate circa 6.5 MBits/sec). Anyway, I can’t tell the difference between original VHS and final dual layer DVD I end up with using method described above – just intrigued why I can’t import these ‘Philips’ discs!!!

Hi Mike
Actually I was hoping for your input as I have gained a lot of knowledge through reading your posts!
I have thoroughly read the manual and there doesn’t appear to be two methods. Strange thing is that my computer DOES recognise the disks and even will autoplay them. Also the Vegas ‘import disc’ function works perfectly well on other DVDs I have made (that were not made through the dvd recorder).
Anyway, I would appreciate your advice to see if I am correctly doing the following:
I have VHS tapes with 3 hours of material on. However, the best setting on the DVD recorder only takes 2 hours of material (DVDR 610 recorder on M2 setting).
ie for one VHS tape I have 2 dvds (which I overlap slightly).
I then take each of these discs and using DVD shrink produce one vob for each disk (as advised in one of your previous postings to avoid jumping between vobs).
Then using Vegas I put both these vobs on the timeline, overlapping them so that they match by frame (ie somewhere between 1 hour 58 mins and 2 hours). I fade these at the overlap and then render to a DVD Architect pal template so I can later create menus with DVDA and burn to a dual layer disc. Is this the right way to go about things? -
Thanks for the reply. I am aware of alternative solutions. (Such as DVD Shrink to collate VOB files etc). I just want to know why the Import Camcorder Disk seems to do nothing for me as surely this would be the best way to do the type of thing I am trying to do.

don’t worry all – it was my fault – forgot to change the order of films in file sub menu
