if you use the Freeware DVDPrep tool on the VASST site, it’s a one-button push.
Any professional MPEG encoding system renders the two files separately. Aside from the fact that they are two separate licenses, it’s simply a smart way to work and assure compatibility. It’s also a better way to determine which is more important; audio or video.Douglas Spotted Eagle

Vegas allows themes to be applied to the app, so if you’d like to use a Windows theme for Vegas, it’ll make it as dark (or light) as you’d like.
My books on Vegas have themes in them, and there are themes on the VASST Site at the Vegas Portal.
Vegas won’t deinterlace unless you tell it to. I’m not sure what difference you’re seeing from Canopus unless project settings are different.
Edius does deal with MPEG 2 better, but my experience is that it doesn’t deal with HDV as well as Vegas.
Perhaps listing the settings or template you’re using may help, particularly given that you were earlier outputting a 1920 x 1080 file.Douglas Spotted Eagle

) Use a file management system that doesn’t use your desktop for anything, that’s not good from any perspective.
)Set up prefs in Vegas so that the files are stored in one location.
)use Search instead of “finding them all” and it only takes seconds.

Display and delivery are NOT the same thing.
BD and HD DVD both support 1920 x 1080; rip a BD and look at the frame size of the majority of HD content. It’s 1440 x 1080. Just like the majority of HD camcorders.That said, NO ONE is broadcasting 1920 x 1080. How is the display displaying a 1440 x 1080 image? I’ve already explained PAR.

John, turns out our new (soon to be former) ISP won’t allow m2t extensions.
So, I’ve renamed the files for you.
https://www.vasst.com/HDV/media/sled ride gamma.mpg
https://www.vasst.com/HDV/media/mosquito.mpg
https://www.vasst.com/HDV/media/jump.mpg
https://www.vasst.com/HDV/media/surfer walk gamma.mpgAfter you download them, rename them to .m2t extension.
In the meanwhile, I’m on the hunt for a new ISP.Douglas Spotted Eagle

The *best* way to get it into Vegas is to use an SDI card, cost you a couple hundred bucks. AJA Xena is the card I’d use.
Otherwise, buy/rent a Convergent Design SD Connect box, it’ll convert the DB into a DV stream that can be sent over firewire.
Transcoding the footage to HDV would be a mistake, both in loss of time and quality.
XDCAM isn’t significantly better than DB, so if you do convince them to go to XDCAM, go XDCAM HD instead.
XDCAM *is* current technology, and will Xfer to the computer more easily, and *is* a slightly better image than DB…Douglas Spotted Eagle

the trial does not offer AC3 encoding, because in that event, they’d be paying a royalty for the encoder.
I’m unaware of any claim by Sony of burning a standard disc with BD content that will play on a BD player. I know for certain that BD content on a standard disc will not play in the BD1 or 300 Blu-ray Disc players.Douglas Spotted Eagle

Because the template to which you are rendering isn’t supported for DVD delivery of MPEG. Computers, yes. DVD, no.
You want to make it easy, use the VASST freeware “DVDPrep.” It’ll make the MPEG and AC3 file using the same name/folder, and it’ll make it faster for you in Architect.Douglas Spotted Eagle

If it’s just a prep for streaming media, simply set your project properties to Progressive, and render from there.
You can also use deinterlacing tools such as those from Mike Crash, or there are some slightly more elaborate schemes that involve doubling vid, blending, offsets. However, you’ll *generally* be pleased with the project property settings and rendering to a progressive format.Douglas Spotted Eagle
