I think sometimes that when you had files that where that big and deleted them, they are still added to the total. What I found is to exit out of DVDA, then start the program again, and it shows the correct total space used.

Good luck! James

Each project calls for different media – avi files mainly.

I used Vegas 6 and they opened fine. I’m rendering them to mpeg for DVD authoring so I’m in good shape now. However it would be nice to figure out if there is a problem so I don’t totally forget Vegas 6 and need it some day.

Thanks! James

Look at Pioneer LX1. Around $4,000. Professional unit, works good. James

I just have to reply to these posts.

I also do quite a bit of recording of live events – mainly seminars. And what you are asking is to tell you in a few paragraphs what I’ve learned in 20 years of experience. Andy has done a really good job of giving you some important pointers.

Here’s my take:

First of all what you are trying to do is technicially complex and takes quite of bit of technical skill and artistic creation. Purchasing equipment is just one small detail, getting it set up and working (and yes it does fail and it does do weird things) is a major thing. So it takes someone who can trouble shoot all kinds of strange problems.

You have no experience. So what if you get great equipment and your production looks like crap. There is no value there. How do you frame the shots, what the rules of thirds, etc, etc. Basically you need to make it look good and just not have a camera on a wide shoot and a little person talking in front.

So I would recommend to volunteer for several of someone else’s events to start to get trained. For starters don’t go buy a bunch of equipment. You don’t know what you are doing or if you are capable of it. Then if you have to because of your deadlines, hire someone else to do it and assist them.

If you look on ebay you always find guys who buy all these expensive equipment, use it for 1 or 2 gigs and figure out it’s not for them. Then their equipments sits in the garage.

So, in a nutshell, get experience, hire someone else and then maybe rent some equipment.

Sorry to be so hard, but I think you need a reality check. Be well, James

I also have found Edward to be extremely knowledgable and helpful in figuring out ways to make Vegas more useful.

Gary that sounds like a good solution. Will that replace that file in all other veg files or just the one I am working on?

Thanks for your help, James

That would work. However what I’m trying to do is to keep that file and replace it with another one.

Right now I have a customer that has some videos with one set of copyright info and and another set of videos with different copyright info. I have several things I need to replace.

So, hopefully there is another way. Thanks, James

I actually have about 7 hours from that day.

What I did is use the upload features from the Sony 100 minidisc and it converts the audio to a wave file. It has a USB port out and then has software to do the conversion. So I did not have to play it in real time.

The sync goes out after about 1 minute depending if there is more silence (the recording was of a talk).

Thanks, James

Are you rendering just a loop region? Check whether the box is checked in the render as menu. Good luck, James
