hi ed thank again… do you have the script or know where one is posted that works and does what I need it to do?

[Craig Scime]

String regionFilename = String.Format(“{0}\\{1}{2}”,
Path.GetDirectoryName(filename),
region.Label,
renderItem.Extension);
// Render the region
status = DoRender(regionFilename, renderItem, region.Position, region.Length);
if (RenderStatus.Canceled == status) break;
regionIndex++;

I must be a retard, ugh.
Down to one error:

C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 7.0\Script Menu\Copy of Batch Render.cs(95) : ‘EntryPoint.RenderItem’ does not contain a definition for ‘Extension’

this is what I currently have:
String regionFilename = String.Format(“{0}\\{1}{2}”,
Path.GetDirectoryName(filename),
region.Label,
renderItem.Extension);

thank you ed for you time and patience, however i am still not having any luck, and I thought I was very good with this stuff. I am getting this error:
C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 7.0\Script Menu\Copy of Batch Render.cs(93) : ‘System.IO.Path’ does not contain a definition for ‘GetDirectory’

C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 7.0\Script Menu\Copy of Batch Render.cs(95) : ‘EntryPoint.RenderItem’ does not contain a definition for ‘Extension’

…and here is what i have in the script

String regionFilename = String.Format(“{0}\\{1}{2}”,
Path.GetDirectory(filename),
region.Label,
renderItem.Extension);

Thanks ed for trying to help but I am still not have any luck. I went into the program files in vegas, then script menu, made a copy of the batch render file (so I would not ruin the working file), then I copied the text as you had, but as soon as I click on file under scripting in vegas i get an error this is what I have, I have even kept it lined up like it was under the “, (can’t show exactly below due to space:
// need to strip off the extension’s leading “*”
String regionFilename = String.Format(“{0}[{1}]{2}”,
Path.GetDirectory(filename),
region.Label,
renderItem.Extension);
// Render the region

WHat am I doing wrong??????

if you reed my first 2 posts actors come to me to edit their demo, from movies they are in. thanks

[Craig Scime]

that’s great guys… but how can I fix it and prevent in the future. That’s really why I am at this forum.

thanks gary, here’s a bit more. i am using the sony pro field montior that was calibrated by one of my engineers and everything usually looks beautiful; here’s the trick. When I load a dvd in my external player it plays great on my monitor, however the capture window is like half the brightness; to make things worse it only happens on some DVD’s. I can load other DVD’s the same way great, the monitor and capture window are almost identical. This is a big problem since I edit demo reels for actors and they all want there “10 seconds” of fame loaded in. One actor said he used to go to edit with some guy using an avid (big deal) and it always looked great. the footage I loaded yestday for a client, half is dark the other half is great.
Thanks again

I Don’t really know what your asking, I’m sorry… I asked the questions that I was looking for answers to

[Craig Scime]

So of the two, which did you prefer?
