When I remove the third audio track it works.

And when I first render two of the audio tracks into a stereo audio file and then import the stereo audio file into the project then it also works.

This is using an Avid M-Audio interface, which is only 2 channels.

So I think its a limitation of the interface that it can only render 2 channels at any one time from one source file.

How I got 3 audio tracks was from duplicating the footage audio twice, and that was there was only one source file in the project–the footage file.

I don’t have DVD Architect. I burnt the disc using the “burn to disc” feature in Vegas.

It actually is Vegas that is estimating larger than expected file sizes on DVDs.

My version of Vegas is Vegas Pro 10.

I don’t have another stand alone DVD player at my house.

It works normally for video DVDs that were professionally made.

Do you think that 30 minute video would take 2 Gb and there was a render error like there should have been another 1 Gb file created called “VTS_01_03.vob”?

Would manually creating a 15 minute long 1 Gb .vob file that I save as “VTS_01_03.vob” where the DVD player stopped recieving a signal fix the problem?

Or does manually naming .vob files not do anything for the DVD OS to understand the files and the DVD OS can only understand the files if a program has rendered them to DVD?

Edit 1: I tried manually renaming the .vob file and it didn’t do anything.

Edit 2: I found out that I think the cause of my problem was that I didn’t have enough free disc space on the HDD that Vegas was configured to use for temporary files. I only had 2 Gb of free disc space on HDD and the project was estimated to be 3.3 Gb so the 3.3 Gb estimation was correct and only 2Gb out of 3.3 Gb was rendered and burned to disc because of not enough space on the HDD.

[Peter Roos] “I have HD video shot on a Canon 5D, 1920 x 1080. It looks quite beautiful and razorsharp in Vegas (it is also huge, 10 GB). But then when I send it to Architect, it is flattened and all the high definition resolution is gone. I tried a couple of different settings, from the standard to exporting just the video separately with the highest resolution available, but the results are unconvincing. I noticed, by the way, that the total file size is down to approximately 300 MB. Surely there must be something wrong, as a DVD can hold 4.7 GB of data? Why compress it so much?”

If you compress a 10Gb video file to 300 Mb, that is the cause of the loss of quality.

If you want 1080p HD, you don’t burn to DVD, you burn to bluRay.

The reason that your video is compressed to only 300 Mb when the disc can hold 4.7 Gb of data is that the DVD player can only handle a certain bit rate so your file size is compressed to a size that will support a bit rate that is supported by your DVD player.

[Thayalan Paramasawam] “1)Pls explain me what is the purpose the reduce interlace flicker.”

I don’t know what that feature’s purpose is, maybe it is designed to reduce interlace flicker, just a wild guess?

I can’t tell if trolling or serious.

I’m having a problem too rendering a file to burn to video DVD that is obviously much smaller than Vegas “thinks” it is.

Vegas was saying that “Approximate Size: 3.3 Gb”, then when the DVD was done burning its file and file sizes according to Windows Explorer are:

/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.vob 232kb
/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.vob 970 Mb
/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.vob 955 Mb

970 Mb + 955 Mb + 0.232 Mb = 1925.232 Mb = 1.93 Gb rounding to 2 decimal places

Why does Vegas think that 1.93 Gb is 3.3 Gb?

[Dieter Moreno]

Oh thanks. I just figured out that Vegas had a DVD burning feature and I was reading the threads that say that Nero is useless.

Now I think I get what the threads were saying when they were saying that Nero is useless.

[John Rofrano] “In Vegas Pro 11.0, look under the Sony AVC encoder you will see templates called “Internet HD …”. Use one of those. These were moved to the MainConcept AVC encoder for Vegas Pro 12.0 so it is version specific but the Internet templates are great for YouTube as Steve said.”

What do I do in Vegas Pro 10?

What if I can’t find AVC encoder in Vegas Pro 10?

[John Rofrano] “[Dieter Moreno] “Is this compatable with Vegas Pro 10?: Avid Recording Studio audio interface”
Yes, but that’s a stereo interface so it can only record two channels at a time. As Stephen said, you need to purchase an audio interface that has multi-channel input. I have the Presonus FireStudio which has 8 inputs so Vegas Pro can record up to 8 tracks at a time with that.”

Is’nt that interface that I mentioned one that has 3 channels total?:
–1/4 inch line in
–1/4 inch line in
–XLR jack

I’m not sure if the 1/4 inch line in jacks are mono or stereo. I didn’t buy it yet. I only read the specifications. I would have to look at it in the store to see if it has one black ring or two black rings on the inside. A mono 1/4 inch jack has one black enamel ring separating two metal electrodes, where one is hot and the other is ground. A stereo 1/4 inch jack has two black enamel rings separating three metal electrodes, where one is hot left, one is hot right, and the other is ground.

Isn’t XLR jack stereo because it has 3 prongs and 1 prong is hot left, 1 prong is ground, and 1 prong is hot right?

[John Rofrano] “When you connect a multi-channel audio interface to Vegas Pro, you can select the channel to record from when you ARM the track.”

What do you mean by “ARM the track”?
