Okay, I was finally able to burn through DVDA. The moral of the story is Windows 10 did not work for me. I have my HDTV as my external monitor and Windows 10 was not able to size the interface to properly fit the screen. Plus the burn quality was horrible. Plus off loading from device controller did not work properly. And some other smaller gremlins that I have forgotten what they were. Be careful.

So, I gave up on rendering a DVD, and burned a Blu ray. It’s great except the whites seem a bit more blown out, and a lot more clipping to yellow.

So then I tried to burn through DVDA. At first the program would only read my blu ray drive. I finally figured out that I had to unclick the “legacy drivers” in preferences, and then it would read both.

But now I am unable to burn a DVD or Blu ray. I know I have rendered properly in Vegas, setting up the project, choosing the proper templates, and rendering separate video and audio files etc. When I setup everything in DVDA and burn it, it tells me both DVD and Blu ray are burned properly. But when I go to play it, nothing.
All it shows me in both is a blue screen with a Menu 1 on it. All files previewed properly in DVDA, and when I search the discs to find out the properties it definitely shows content, but just won’t play.

Well Gimp, is definitely impressive. Thanks Mike. Cheers.

Hi, what I have found is that it lets you underline, but if you have two words, it will underline under each word with a space between the words. How do you do a solid underline so that there is no space between the words?

Thanks.

Okay, the cable company does want it in 720 x 480 anamorphic 29.97 and they broadcast in SD.

So, I imported and set up my project as NSTC DV(720×480 29.97? That letterboxed it, so I went down to the FX and matched output to aspect and that full framed it.

Then when I tried to render it, I only got one choice it seems, and that is to render in NSTC DV and my .H264 gets wrapped in a .mxf file. Then I went to custom template and I could see where it gives me the 25 mbps, but I could not see where to get the 4.2.2 color sampling. How do I get 4.2.2.?

[Gary Badgley]

Hi,
my camera records at 21 mbps. The color sampling is 4.2.0. I need a minimum 25 mbps and 4.2.2. As I understand it, when recording to an external recorder you bypass the cameras codec, in this case AVCHD AVC/H.264 and records using the recorders codec with a higher bit rate and improved color sampling. Am I misunderstanding this process?

[Gary Badgley]

Hi, thanks for the thought, but there are no rentals available where I live, besides I am shooting on the AF100 and with all my lenses etc, I would really like to shoot with my camera.

Thanks.

Evidently, Windows 7 does not support burning Blu-ray. So, I imported into Vegas, finally figured out that Blu-ray template and where the ISO file is, and burned it. It burned without errors, and it is truly spectacular. Day and night compared to DVD production.
I’m thrilled.

Thanks!

Hi okay, I think I may have solved this problem. What I noticed when the project was burning is that it was showing that it was burning 1440 X 1080. When I went to the template, sure enough I had inadvertently selected 1440 rather than 1920. So I went back and this time I have rendered just an image. It is sitting in the documents folder – Windows 7. Windows media plays it and, it is spectacular.

So, my question is now how do I burn it to the blu -ray disk sitting in my Blu-ray player. Do I have to take it back into Vegas? Or, will Windows 7 just burn it from the documents folder?

Thanks.

thanks again John.
