Try the chroma keyer by selecting the white color of the eyes. Place a dark color background (not black) under.

By definition DV is a compressed format. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DV#DV_Compression)

You can use AVI uncompressed video, but the file will be huge.

Select the same aspect ratio that the original footage has.

Jay, the cause of Vegas 12 crashing all the time on your system has to be something wrong in your system, hardware or software related.

I can tell you the application works well. Much better than Vegas 10 and 11.

You should try a clean Windows installation and if the problems continues have your hardware tested for performance issues (Memory, hard drives and Motherboard.

I had many problems with Vegas 11, but Vegas 12 is OK on a daily basis. (except NewBlue Titler Pro that doesn’t work at all).

I can render two complex projects at the same time and work emitting a third one.

I have realized that RAM is not very important. CPU is important, but one of the hardware issues that more affect Vegas performance are the Hard Drives.

The ideal scenario is to have the application running in one hard drive, the source media files in another hard drive and the rendering in a third hard drive.

The hard drives should be defragmented, be less than 80% full and not have physical errors. The fastest the hard drives, the better vegas performance. I wish I had solid state drives!

My PC specifications:

Windows 7 64-bit
i7 CPU X 980 @ 3.33 Ghz. (12 cores)
24 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 5700 x 2

This PC is not used for Internet browsing. No antivirus software is installed.

Ups! It is true, it doesn’t say BD-R or BD-RE.

I thought that BD-ROM was the same as BD-R. But it seems that BD-ROM means “read only”.

I can tell you that I recorded a video in a BD-R disc, using DVD Architect Pro 5.2 and it works in this player.

I used this disc: https://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-97457-Blu-ray-Recordable-25-Disc/dp/B00471HK0Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359326653&sr=8-1&keywords=verbatim+bd+r

Should we assume that BD-ROM means BD-R compatible?????

I bought two of this one for a client a few days ago here:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung—Smart-Wi-Fi-Built-In-Blu-ray-Player/6653282.p;tab=specifications?id=1218780246081&skuId=6653282

It plays almost everything:

Playback Formats: BD-ROM, DVD+/-R/RW, DVD-Video, CD DA, CD-R/RW, MPEG-2/-4, AVCHD, MKV, WMV, LPCM, AAC, MP3, WMA, JPEG.

I have not had any problems so far. You just have to check if the client’s player compatibility includes BD-ROM or BD-R.

If it doesn’t just tell the client its time to upgrade and get one for just $80.

Here is the user manual:

https://www.manualowl.com/m/RCA/BRC11082/Manual/194357

In page 4, you can read that this player plays only recordable CDs (CD-R and CD-RW). It doesn’t play recordable blu-ray discs (BD-R).

where I can get it? Can you post a link?
