Thanks for the info. I figured it out for now. Basically, cut in a 1080i workflow then bring it into a 720p workflow when I’m completely finished and render accordingly. When you bring 1080i footage into a 720p workflow it scales the picture down by 75%. This means if I bump it up to 100% I’m getting a close-up in post. That was the original idea but I didn’t anticipate the rendering.
As for 720p 24pn footage into DVD I’ve been shooting quite a bit in that format and making DVDs without any problems. I use compressor to handle the compression and I don’t take any extraordinary measure because of the 24pn. Just make sure you’re shooting in 24pn not 24pa which you’ll need to do a pulldown removal in order to edit in a 29.97 sequence.

The footage was shot in 1080i 24PA. There is no option to shoot 24PN as in 720P.

The only thing I can think of in order to keep the sound in sync with the video is to only take the parts that have changed and from that point forward. So if the first 3 minutes are unchanged, you don’t need to remix that part, just from minute 4 and forward. Depending if you can compartmentalize it, you can just focus on the segments that have changed and leave the rest alone. This could be more time consuming then it’s worth and it’s gotta be frame accurate.

That was it. I was right clicking on Import>File. It’s always the simple things!

I should also add that I saved the Excel spreadsheet back to a tab delimited TXT file.

This is the 10th episode of the TV show and previous episodes have worked fine. Not sure of the memory but I know I haven’t had problems before. 6 video layers and 10 audio layers. No effects, just some nested lower thirds with mattes, a few dissolves. Playing off a 4 TB raid with about 400 gigs empty. Format is HD 1920x1080i. I didn’t nest the sequences because we’ve had problems with nests within nests. Dropped frames on output. Haven’t trashed prefs yet. Will give that a shot.

Yes, I’m doing that and compressing again. I’m wondering why this is happening. I recently completed a project that was just under 2 hours and it wasn’t nearly as large a file. It was around 2.7 gigs with the same bit rate as this project was originally. Why the deviation from one file to the next? Is it the source material file type? mpg vs. qt?

I’ve got a 2 hour heavy graphics project so won’t re-rendering all take a very long time?
If I understand your other suggestion – By choosing the modification date on a segment you’re saying if it has the same name but the dates go from May to today, everything prior to the latest date can be deleted without having to re-render that segment?
