Yesterday I finished up an edit that clocked in at 2 hours 11 minutes – I used the bitrate calculator and when I imported the finished render into DVD architect it said it was 5.8 Gigs – but, because of these posts, I decided to go ahead and burn a disk anyway. After it was finished it said “disk space used 4.7GB” and it looks OK and plays back fine.
Thanks again for everyones help.

Actually the last edit I was working on did have a corrupted clip but not this one. I’ll stick with Vegas 9 until the next release. Thanks for the reply.

Yesterday I used the bitrate calculator and that worked fine for a program almost 2 hours long – this seems like something that would be worth having as part of the core program. If Vegas could calculate the length and then set the correct bit rate that would be a nice addition.
Thanks to all for your help!!

This is sad news – I thought the opposite would happen now that Boris is available for Vegas 🙁
One thing that could really make Vegas take off IMHO, is if they could somehow integrate Vegas and Acid into one product – If I could construct my videos and soundtracks at the same time using all my software synths, loop libraries etc – that would be creative freedom

Copy and paste sounds good to me – the third party scripting/utilities extensions like Vegasaur or the production assistant Sony is offering is another topic I would like to learn more about – I have been using Vegas for years and have not yet invested in these. Thanks to all for your replies

Ok I looked at all these players and sites and now I’m really confused – lol – it’s starting to look like if I want to put a lot of video on my site I’m going to have to render each one into five different formats to make sure its accessible (this =s uploading hell). Maybe I should just post videos to youtube or vimeo and then embed them on my page? Of course I wanted to have a sight with no advertising and without links leading people away to youtube or vimeo. For now I downloaded JW player from longtail video – it works with both flash and html5. I’ll buy a license for it if I can get it working and I like the way it performs. Thanks for your help.

Thanks John,
I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us all.
One thing that seemed to help was I re-worked the credit roll by creating the original credits in Illustrator with a rounded edge font and then used the blur in AE specifically designed to remove the interlace flicker. Finally problem solved.

Thanks John,
I actually did cut and paste the credits and it worked – thats cool! I’m still having problems removing the flickering. I still have several questions.
1) is there a reccomended workflow to avoid this type of issue in the future? A specific font/size that works really well? Should I always use the blur when creating a credit roll?
2) I do a lot of work with stills creating slideshows – I’ve noticed similar issues sometimes – usually its a rooftop, a fence or water that can look strange while panning or zooming – Is there a way to avoid this as well?
And if rendering something for the web – should it be rendered as progressive?
Thanks for all your help.

I tried the blur and it helped a little but, now the text shimmers less but looks a little blurry. I’ve also tried re-rendering the credit roll in AE with different fonts – and that did not solve the problem 100%. Now I’m afraid I’ll have to try the Sony credit roll plug in. I’ve used it in the past but the credits in this project are long and complicated and the client wants their logos included as well. Is there any easy way to get a text file into the credit roll plug-in rather than entering lines and names one at a time? If Sony wants us to use Vegas in professional projects – it seems the credit roll is something that could be improved.
