I can make great quality mp4 and wmv files with Vegas. Are you deinterlacing with a blend fields setting? that can make your video look softer. There’s some free utilities like Gspot, that tells you most everything about a video media clip.

What are your source files? What resolution, bitrate? How do you capture movies and what type and res are those? we need more info on what your starting out with.

That’s really amazing! Did you make this video? You should make a video tutorial on your techniques.

You can open 32 bit projects in Vegas 64 bit, but some 32bit pluggins may not work. I was nervous switching from XP to Win 7 64, so I made one machine a dual boot, keeping my old XP partition but adding another partition with Win 7 64 bit. I could even access projects from my XP partition from the Win 7 one.
I haven’t booted into XP for a while now, but I did at first. -
Understand, your original file is
720x480x32
29.97 fps
Upper field first
MPEG-2Any render will cause some slight quality loss, even to uncompressed avi. Vegas can combine some files together without recompression, as long as they have no effects applied to them. If you add the mpeg-2 files together on the timeline and render to the same exact mpeg-2 format, you wil see “No recompresion on the preview screen, and it’ll fly through the process. If this works for you, there will be NO quality loss.
DV AVI is a good format, better than your mpeg so if you want to edit with effects, that is a good format to use. -
Not sure with DVDs but some cds burned at a fast speed won’t play on some older players, so to be safe, I would burn at a slower speed first.

You can ungroup a video event from an audio event by selecting it and hitting the “U” key (ungroup) just like you can group events together by selecting them and hitting the “G” key.

My Panasonic Tm700 captures 1080 60p .mts. I cannot edit and render back to .mts or something my TM700 will play. I can although render to 1080 60p mp4 at the same 28 mbps bitrate and play them on my i7 computers with no problems.

Don, your not using Vegas to Chromakey are you? CS5 has Ultrakey in Premiere and Keylight in After Effects. They’re far superior than the Chromakey effect in Vegas.

You should still have a .veg or .bak file that still knows where the files are. If you cannot find one that works, you could always copy the new folder from your storage drive onto your raid, and open the .veg in that folder. It should find the files or only take one redirection, then it’ll see the rest. The downfall is you would have duplicates on the raid taking up space.
