Hi steve, What would you use to judge the quality of a finished project?,, Video? Danny

You could do six at a time by mixing in surround sound with each track soloed to one of each of the 5.1 channels, and slelct render to seperate channels it believe it was. Danny

Do you remember when Vegas was audio only? It supports dirext x and VST pluggins too. If you don’t need soft synths and midi you, really don’t need another audio program. Danny

What kind of camera is it? Why don’t you capture with Vegas?

I would leave it in the 1440 project settings as you have. I have found when I use picture in picure and panning, resizing from the track motion settings and render to a smaller, 720 x 480 video, things can move on you. I always render to 1440 x 1080 intermediate Cineform format first, then render that to the smaller videos you need, only if I use pic n pic and sizing as described. Cineform avi is very efficient in Vegas is a good format to convert videos that are not efficient, like one or more of the file formats you must be using to get render times as you described. Since you don’t have DVD Archetect, you can’t use the wide screen presets for it. You can still render to NTSC DVD compliant mpeg 2 with the custom video settings of 16 x 9. This should give you a video to burn to DVD that should fit the flat screen HDTV. It will of course be standard def. I am really suprise how few people connect their computers to their HDTVs. My computers are my HD players for my HDTV. Plus once you get used to using it, you’ll have a had time going back to your computer monitor. Danny

Are you needing to play this on a regular DVD? If so you’ll need to render to a widescreen format like NTSC DVD compliant mpg with custom video settings at 16 x 9. If you can use a fairly fast computer to play the video, that works great.
As far a render times, there must be a file or files that Vegas has a hard time with. I have used very high resoultion jpegs, with panning and had no render time problems as your describing. I would remove a media file from the timeline one at a time and check render times.
What are the file types and resoultion? what will you be playing the final video from? Danny Hays -
That will depend on the resolution of the projector and if it supports wide screen. I use my laptop to play HD video on my HDTV or projector. Most HDTVs and projectors have a VGA input. I normally render to WMVHD, MPEG HD or m2t format played with VLC set de-interlacing to blend and get the same quality as Blu ray players. You may run into aspect ratio problems playing 16 x 9 0n a 4 x 3 projector, where you may have to letter box the video your self. What kinf of projector and what resolutions does it support?

You can also import media, drop down the tybe and select all files. The VOB files will then show up in the Vegas explorer. Drag them in order to the time line, then save the Veg file and check save media. Re-open the new Veg file and Vegas will now be reading the VOB files from the hard drive instead of the DVD drive. Edit as you normally would. You can rename them to MPG too if you wish.
Hope this helps, Danny Hays -
That depends on the projector and the video card in the computer thats playing it. Most consumer projectors under $2000 are not wide screen or even HD. Mitzubushi makes one WD-2000 that’ll do it and looks great. If your ever in Orlando and visit Universal Orlando, checkout the T23D preshow video walls. That’s what’s in there, sourced by a computer playing WMVHD but with a higher bitrate than the 8mbps preset. You can click custom and raise it there.
Another option, if the PJ or computer wont play it wide screen, you can always render it 720 x 480 and letter box it yourself. Of course it wont be in HD. Danny -
Yeah I know but I thought it may have been a typo. And yes I found out about different types and the readers, unwrappers. I was editing mxf files from a 360 Image Server 2000. It took me a while to figure out how to convert, unwrap it into something I could edit, and convert it back into something the server would play. If you have any info on these servers or their flavor of MXF, I would love to read it. Thanks in advance. Danny
