Or that could be the origin of the problem in the first place. It sounds like you’re moving forward with the suggestions that John made, but if you’re still having problems, you might try backing up all of your project files and media files and then try to find someone else that has the same version of Vegas and see if you can copy those files to their computer and render from there. Or it may be easier to see if there is hardware that you can buy to fix the problem.

I bought a new 500GB Hard Drive yesterday and transfered all of my project files to the new drive, but I’m still having problems. Unless there’s an issue with my RAM or operating drive, I don’t think it’s a memory issue.

Does anybody else have any suggestions on what I might try so that I can render the project as one file?

[Chris Franklin]

Thanks…Can anyone else respond to my original post? I’m still having problems. I’m going to go get a new external hard drive today so that I can have plenty of memory to see if that’s the problem.

I used to render separeately…audio to AC3, but it seemed like my audio was compressed or something. It seems that if I embed my audio, the audio on the final DVD is “louder”.

Error message says:

“An error occurred while creating the media file ___________.
The reason for the error could not be determined.”

Or it could possibly still be your computer not being able to keep up. Try playing the encoded file on a different computer or burning it to a DVD and playing it with a player.

If it turns out that it actually is encoded that way, you might check to see how much free space you have on your hard drive. Check the space on your operating drive and the drive that your project is in.

It turned out that there was a problem with my external hard drive.

Thanks for the response. No. I used this tape to dub a VHS and I didn’t fastforward or rewind. I just let it play all the way through. The dropped frames are affecting the editing process. That’s actually how it was brought to my attention. The clip was “choppy” on the timeline. I have used this tape several times, so I may try a new tape.

Any other suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

Yes…I only use Taiyo Yuden.

Thanks for the reply…

After I posted my problem (which I had never had before), I started rendering to other templates and I rendered to DVD Architect NTSC video stream and that seamed to work.

I’ve heard of people adjusting the bit rates for the best quality image, but I’m not sure where that’s done in the Custom… tab. I always make sure that the render quality is set to Best and all the way on High.

Other than that, how can I get the absolute best quality DVD?

Also…I used to render my video and audio separately, but it seemed like whenever I would import my audio into Architect, my audio would be a lot lower that it was suppose to.

Thanks!
