And to be a bit more helpful, do use a bitrate calculator. I use one called David’s Bitrate calculator. The other freebie is the BitRate viewer that will read in a MPG file and indicate just where the high rates are being used and gives me an indication just where in the video the heavy lifting is happening and just what I can do to reduce the bitrate. The BIGGEST hidden overhead is actual “Noise “. This can be from low light scenarios which had needed GAIN, which in turn produced GRAIN. Getting the picture? I use NeatVideo to iron out any “overhead” noise.

And again, why the high BitRate?

[Derek Charles] “I have a ceremony at 2.76 GB at 26 min
and a reception at 2.76 GB at 24 min
both together are too big to fit on one disc (4.7 gig)
the total bitrate for each is 14MB/s “

I can fit 120minutes on a single DVD. There has to be a real good reason to go above 8mbs. Why have you chosen such a high bitrate?

[Ernest Rosado] “I have confirmed this is the issue, as if I manually power off one of my screens during a render it also crashes.”

Never, ever heard of that one? If you haven’t, try disabling GPU acceleration? There has to be a link between a live/powered Monitor and the Render engine within the Vegas that is referenced.

Wow, this is fascinating! Please keep us informed. I will try and repro.

[Rob Lindsay] “I will keep it that way.”

Oh, good. We’ve all done something similar.

Here’s my Mantra: Great Video will look rubbish with bad Audio. But, bad Video can look stunning with great Audio.

[Graham Bernard] “I’ve got the ACON one too”

And no I don’t! – I’ve got the freebies.

Nice result Marco. I’ve got the ACON one too and I’ll give it a go. Also to reinforce your plugin comment, the farss (Bob) approach can’t do much for the folding-over of the other impediments to reducing the boomingness.

Really enjoying the puzzle . .

O…K… Here’s what I’ve felt I’ve needed to use:

My approach was to reduce any extraneous noisy items prior to dealing with the actual boom. I needed to hear the speech as cleanly as possible. This meant Declicking and Declipping and DeCrackling. Removing any HUM and generally reduce any background noise. I think I got that? I now drove towards the dialogue and experimented with dialogue enhancement. Then and only then did I attempt the DeReverb – the Booming. Got some way but it sounded flat and not organic. And sooo . . I added BACK a tiny bit of reverb.

Honestly, it sounds over-cooked, but I could go over it and restart and smooth it down somewhat. I’ve attached my mediocre attempts here. What do you think? 11955_graziesampled11954audioclip1.mp3.zip

I’ve done my usual precursive approach through iZoRX6Adv to garner, gather any knowledge of the issues and in IMHO, this will never be a Studio recorded sample, but I’m guessing you know this too. OK, like any of this work the more I experiment, the more I’m revealing and quite frankly, the more damage I’m doing.

Here’s the list even before the any “boom” or DeReverb removal/reduction. I’ve got:

• Sibilance
• Clipping
• Background noise issues: people speaking, slamming doors
• Hum of various freqs

All of which conspire against getting that boom, IMHO the lesser of the “Evils” out of the way. In which case I’m starting to favour my approach B.

[Rob Lindsay] “A room with a boom.”

Well, you have other issues too, beyond the, what I would regard as marginally acceptable “boom”, and those are sibilance and clipping.

So, I’m falling into the two areas of:

A] ACTIVE: Doing something to rectify, which in itself is not a given.

or . . .

B] PASSIVE: Not doing anything at all, and leaving well alone, maybe the sibilance and clipping.

But I’m now going to have a go using iZotopeRX6 Advanced to just see IF there is a result in the offing.

Eric, click on Rob’s name.

I’m gonna make me a cup of coffee and going to have a go too. Luv this Forum!
