John,

Regarding your questions:

“How will you deliver your HD video?” – I see now that DVD architect 5 only burns HD in Blu Ray. Without Blu Ray I gather the DVD will be in NTSC and not in HD, correct?

“Why are you trying to render HD to AVI?” – I had heard that avi was the best format in a tutorial on youtube, should have stuck with creative cow! The avi files ended up as several split files in my computer.

“Have you tried MPEG2 with the Blu-ray templates?” – No as I do not own a Blu Ray Player.

“BTW, your PC is not up to spec for HD. Vegas requires a dual core at a minimum for HD.” – Sorry I was confused, I checked on the processor which is dual core running on 3.2 ghz, sorry for the reference on the raid set up as I gather that is not what you were referring to.

Not sure if you got the last post but after removing the large photos from the project and increasing the virtual memory on the computer I was able to burn in HD format using wmv. I am trying the MPEG2 now.

Very appreciative of your help John!

Thanks,

James L.

John,

I kept searching the archives and have found another comment you made regarding HD not being compatable with pictures over 2mg and was able to successfully render to .wmv in HD. I am rendering now per your suggestion to MPEG2.

I thought since I could render in HDV (with wmv) I could burn an HD disc in DVD Architect Pro 5 but now I see it will be NTSC unless I burn to Blu Ray, correct?

As far as AVI format I heard that is best but it was on a youtube tutorial not on creative cow. It ended up splitting up into several avi files which I am not pleased about. Do you suggest I stick with MPEG2?

I used to have a different raid set up on my pc which I beleive was dual core but switched it over to enable me to install a bigger hard drive. I may need to switch it back.

Thanks for your expertise!

Folks,

I too have a movie / file I am working with in DVD Architect Pro 5.0 that claims the file is too large. I rendered the movie in Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 (I had to chop it into 8 pieces to render and then bring all 8 back in to render as one again before it worked)and attempted to burn with DVDA Pro 5.0. The movie is 122 minutes long and 6 GB. I’m still a rookie here so apologies in advance but I hit the optimize option I found in a tutorial and it still said file too large. Should I be thinking about getting a dual layer burner at this point?

I too had the same issue and I know it was from checking the box to always use HDV. The posts were helpful as I can now capture again in DV but the problem is I can not locate the box to uncheck my selection, I have to go through options / preferences each time.

Any ideas to get the box giving me the choice to come up again?
