Hi Grazie:

In a word; wow! LOL

Thank you. Yes, you are correct. I was not able to save my project on a regular DVD without help in adjusting the bitrate. I tried using NERO which adjusted the Bitrate and also affected the quality of the project. So much so, that there were things seen that I did not recognize, like a picture frame that looked like an attachment to someone’s head; an unrecognizable microphone, etc. Very poor resolution results.

I will try what you suggested.

Thank you,

Debbie

I hope I’m reading it correctly. On my Architect Studio it reads. 6.449 bitrate.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Hi Grazie:

My DVD is under 2 hours, but the memory sizes exceeds the average memory the disc allows. I was told that changing the bitrate is an option, but I don’t know how to do that. I was going to get some Dual Layers and create the DvD’s in NERO, if I don’t need an external.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Hi Grazie:

1 hour 39 minutes 59 seconds. I was able to access DVD Architect Studio and I have NERO on my computer. Got the movie to play by rendering the audio separately and dropping both files into Architect Studio. I am still confused, however. What I discovered is that my footage is a little more that the average DVD disk memory 4.3GB. I want to either shrink the bitrate or burn it on a dual layer, or would I need an external Dual Layer burner to do this? Can I use NERO exclusively?

I hear both arguments. Some say I need an external hardware(Staples and Best Buy) and B&H says that I do not. Any clarifications?

Many thanks,

Debbie

Hi Mike:

Please forgive my naiveté. Do I need a DVD authoring software to load the DVD?

UPDATE: I found NERO on my computer and attempted to burn my DVD. It turns out that now that I have two separate files, I have exceeded the memory for one disc which holds only 4.3GB. My two files combined hold over 4.8GB. Isn’t there a way that I can render the movie with both audio and video together? I saw in the store where they sell two layer DVD’s. Wouldn’t I need a specific hardware in order to burn double layer DVD’s.

My thought is many people are rendering separate files and are able to save their film on a DVD. Would you know how all this works?

Many thanks,

Debbie

Hi Dave:

I’m having the same issue today. I rendered my video as DVD Architect. I read that I needed to render audio separately, so I rendered audio as Dolby AC-3. Now I have a movie that plays without audio in the Apple Quicktime MPG 2 player for Windows . The AC-3 file won’t play because I don’t have a platform that supports it. I tried to open it in ITunes and it won’t open there either. Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Debbie

Hi Dave:

Thank you. I will try it. This person is wearing all white, and so what I discovered about the motion tracking is that I need to find a focus that attracts the tracker, preferable something distinct in color and quality. He’s falling and the motion tracker just does its own thing, although it’s following him. LOL It gets to the destination eventually; just not in real time.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Thank you Walter.

Hi Everyone:

I was just consulted by Video Pilot’s tech support. When I imported the texture, I kept it as a PNG. He told me to uncheck PNG so that the files will drop in the timeline. It worked.

Many thanks for your responses.

Oh thanks Michael.

Appreciated!
