The TV is an older 47″ widescreen SD. I try to use older, baseline equipment for quality checks. Before I send DVDs to clients, I make sure they play on a $39 CD/DVD set as well as the good stuff.
Thanks for the reminder about graphics. I’ll make sure the colors are “legal” before sending if the client might have older CRT sets.

Thanks,

Thank you, Mike. It worked. As an audio guy (30 years of voiceovers)who migrated to video, it bugs me when I sometimes hear a buzz when (on DVD playback) one video source switches to another (particularly when captions appear). Does this mean the master volume is too low and electronic noise it audible?

Thank ou,

Don

Your screen shot looks like an older version, and I see 720X480 and a 4:3 display. I’m doing 1080i and the first hour of the rendered video was 10G. Way too big. And, yes, I selected the custom option, but my available bitrates are 60,000,000/15,000,000/192,000/ Can I get away with a variation of 720 rather than 1080 and reduce the file size? 720 looks about as good as 1080 on most TVS when the content is someone behind a podium…

Thanks Mike,

Yes, I clicked the Custom tab next to the Template and my dialogue box looks totally different (the screen shot you had looks like an older version, and yours is showing 720x480with a 4:3 display). I’m HDV 1080-60i and my bit-rate options are much larger: 192,000/15,000.000/60,000,000.
I just rendered the first hour and it is a 10g file. Can DVD Architec compress two 10g files to one dual-layer DVD? Also, I’m new to dual-layer. Can most newer (one year old) DVD drives burn dual layer? BTW, when I previewed my reply, your screen shot kept coming up. I hope mine comes through, too. Not sure what’s shakin’ on that.

Thanks Mike,

Mike–I feel like a moron. This is my first project after transitioning to Vegas 9 and I overlooked the fact that the solo “button” was in the incorrect position and muting the audio. Boy, it sounded sweet when it came alive.

Thanks you,

Danny,

The audio track works well when it is on the same audio track as the other camera’s audio. When I select “Insert new audio track” and move it down, I can’t hear anything, even though I move the horizontal volume slider(in the audio controls at left). Things that make you go “hmmm”…

Thank you,

Don

That was exactly it.

Mike,

I checked out Pro Show Producer and it is EXACTLY what I need.

Big thanks!
