Thanks Mike,

Although I’ve had Vegas for a few years, I’ve always used Rex to capture. It does so in 4 Gig segments so I was unprepared for all the splitting that occurred when capturing in Vegas. That said, I should have noticed that the splits mirrored my record start times.
The file name problem happened because I recaptured the tape after the first time I saw all those splits and the original files were still in the capture bin. I’m trying to get used to this new way of editing and hopefully won’t have to bug you any more.

Thanks again for the quick and helpful response,
Diane

I captured Tape 1 (after setting preferences). All the clips are different lengths and the numbering starts with 19. What did I do wrong?

Thanks so much for the help! I need the source timecode so the scripting method is perfect. My other editing system, Rex RT, is easier to use than Vegas, but it only adds timeline timecode and you can’t record it to tape. Vegas is really pretty great in offering all these options.
Thanks again,
Diane

Mike,
I bought Vegas 4.0 in ’03 from Sonic Foundry and the Pro upgrade in ’07 from Sony. Now, this is really strange but I just put a WAV file in a project to check again, looked for the AC-3 option and there it was, 3rd down. I’m mystified because when I looked before, it wasn’t an option!
I’ve been having problems on this PC and had to clear the CMOS yesterday but I don’t see how Vegas would have been effected.
Sorry about the confusion, you’re right, the AC-3 option is there.

I have Vegas Pro 8 and there is no AC-3 option.

Mike,
I mis-understood and thought you were telling another user that Vegas Video had the AC-3 option. I know that I have it in Architect and have been converting my WAV to AC-3 files there.
Also, thanks for your help on using the BitRate Calculator. I’m getting a better understanding of it after reading the thread you referred to.

Mike,
I use Vegas Pro 8.0 and there is no AC-3 option in it. It’s necessary to import WAV files into Architect and convert them there.

Mike,
Can I ask you some questions about Mark’s BitRate Calculator?

Dear Mike,
Thanks for all your help and patience! I downloaded the Bit Rate Calculator and will try and use that on my next project.
I’m not sure if it’s relevant but in addition to upgrading to 5.0, there was one other thing I adjusted before I was able to burn the DVD. In Preferences, I had changed the Default Prepare and Temp Files Folder to the same drive where I was creating the DVD. I did this because my C drive is pretty full. After upgrading to 5.0 I used the default, Document & Setting folder for the Prepare & Temp Files folder.
Could that have had any impact?

Mike,
Thanks for all your help. I downloaded the 5.0 upgrade, went over all my project settings and the problem disappeared. DVD burned and it looks good.

One more question, I’ve always heard that the High quality, Variable Bit Rate and 2 pass settings produced the best results. Why do you prefer CBR single pass?
