As mentioned previously, send the 5.1 info to 6 busses, and mix the two channel from there. Collapsing 5.1 to stereo is no easy feat if you want it done convincingly.

what is the source of the .asf file? If it’s protected, Vegas won’t open it, but it’s curious that WME will convert it?

August 18, 2007 at 4:52 am in reply to: AC-3 Dialnorm for Hi8 to DVD transfersI’m not sure why you’re asking the question if you’re sure of what the outcome will be? If levels are not consistent, then there is no way for the final to be predicted. I don’t use the compression modes, I set my LMP’s to “none” with dialog normalizing at -31 on everything we output. Figure out your average RMS, and that’ll give you the proper normalization level. Regardless, here are the modes/affects.
None: No dynamic range compression is applied unless downmixing could cause overload, in which case protection [compression] is automatically applied.
Speech: Appropriate for programs with predominantly dialogue.
Music Light: Applies light compression to music that is already compressed and does not require excessive dynamic range restriction.
Music Standard: Applies more compression to music that is not compressed and requires dynamic range restriction.
Film Light: Applies light compression to a subjectively quiet film that does not require excessive dynamic range restriction.
Film Standard: Applies more compression to a subjectively loud film that requires dynamic range restriction.”
These profiles are illustrated below and defined in Appendix A of the Dolby Digital encoder instruction manual which can be found on the Dolby website.

Be sure antivirus isn’t running, for starters. If you have a pavilion, are you sure you’ve got everything shut down in the background? Their OS/Startup is about as glutted as anything I’ve seen.

August 18, 2007 at 3:43 am in reply to: Does rendering twice in the same format cause loss of quality?More information is very helpful.
Since it’s HDV, you won’t need to worry about it.
but I don’t understand the “order” thing. Why not just take the clips and arrange them prior to rendering? This is exactly what an NLE is for.Douglas Spotted Eagle

All three of mine are. Been using them since Vegas5Douglas Spotted Eagle

August 17, 2007 at 10:33 pm in reply to: Tough surface control question…Ed, Spot. what do you think?I use a Mackie Universal Control virtually every day. If the Yamaha follows that protocol, then Vegas can work with it.
It can also be used for color correction among other things.Douglas Spotted Eagle

You’ll need to rip the DVD with some other tool, and then import the VOB files to DVD Architect to re-author the DVD.Douglas Spotted Eagle
