I understand. I’ll be adding the music to the video. I can see how this would be considered a distraction and even the mono scenario! Well…I received more terrible advice from a friend. Thanks for the assistance.

Responding to both comments:
The template I am using is:
DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen Video Stream.
I then select Custom-Audio-Include Audio Stream.
The Bit rate is 224.

If you don’t mind me asking. What exactly is a Bit Rate? Will a lower bit rate have a large effect on the quality of the video.

Thank you for the advice on DVDs.

I should add…that I somehow got it to work by adding in chapters on the DVD architect and by making the burn rate slower. Quite baffled by it.

Thanks again,
Beaz

Well John….bad news again.

The video looks awesome…I rendered it in a DVD architect widescreen mode with audio. Now my problem comes on DVD architect. After burning the DVDs…they SOMETIMES will play the entire way through the DVD…while other times….THEY STOP and the DVD player says “cannot read disc”

-So, what do I do? I try another DVD player to verify…same thing happens. Do you think that the DVD architect is broken or something is wrong with my dics? I’m even using SONY DVD-Rs. 🙁 This is really frustrating since I need to have this sports video done by monday.

No, wasn’t intending on it. It is a sports tape and sometime the camera work is jerky…although never intentional. Thanks for all the help….I did do a search afterwords on this website and found more info. This is great having a sony vegas forum….I’m really learning alot.

Great. Thanks for your help. Silly me. I originally used the Mt2 video and re-formatted it…but I think it may be a better idea to just start from the original timeline.

Last question
Now which template is better…the DVD Architect 24p NTSC widescreen or the regular DVD Architect NTSC widescreen?

What is the difference?

Thanks!

[Beazly Johnson]

Well, I did as recommended and the video quality wasn’t as good as the m2t format. however, it does work completly now.

Any suggestions what would be the best way to format it?-even using the advanced options. I did interviews using and HD camera and would like to look sharp instead of fuzzy.

Thanks for the help!

I will try your tip and let you know how it goes.
Thanks

Hello all,

This is my first time to this forum and I hope I can get some good constructive help.

I have recently rendered a video in the mt2 format. I like doing this since the quality is good and is a widescreen format. I then use the sony DVD architect and burn the copy.

PROBLEM:
When I play the movie on ANY dvd player, it will NEVER play the whole movie…I always get a message that it cannot read the disc.

Any solutions out there? Could it be the format? Size of the disc? (it only took up 1.2G of a 4.7G DVD)

Is there another format that I can render it in so the quality is good but I do not sacrifice the wide-screen format?

THANKS!
