Eddie,

How much time does it take to get to 84% or 98%? In Minutes:Seconds

A codec pack (either end)? Bad audio files from the user? Created on a mac?

just a few guesses…

Stephen is right. Even if you did use one of the templates, DVDA may have to re-encode your stuff, just because you put too much on one DVD.

Here’s how it works, You have 1, 45 minute movie rendered with Mpeg-2 using DVDA template in Vegas. This will encode just fine on a 4.7GB DVD. If you have 3 of these 45 minute videos and try to fit them on one DVD you will be forced to re-compress in DVDA because your total size is too much.

This is where Mark’s DVD Bitrate calculator comes in. When you add up all the items, videos, motion menus, subtitles, etc., the calculator can tell you what VBR bitrate settings to encode your video at to get the best quality in the space available.

You can get ‘Mark’s” here: https://www.johncline.com/bitcalc110.zip
There will be a learning curve to understand it all, but you will be glad you did.

Yes, Stephen. You are right. But, having 16TB available I almost forgot what that was all about.
(just kidding, I am blessed to have a great system.)

For starters you could ‘save-as’ a copy of the project to a new directory, with the media files (drop down box below filename). Rename the original folder so it can’t be found by DVDA. Re-boot (can’t hurt) open the new copy and attempt a DVD. This should clear up a lot of problems. If the build fails, open each media file in Vegas to see if any are damaged in some way.

Good luck,

Jeff

If your computer can render a 5 minute video, it can render a 5 hour video. The difference is time. Lots of time in your case. I have an old Athlon desktop at home, dual core, 2GB and it just cranks away for hours. You might want to check your email before it starts!!

Does it show up in your recent projects list? Because I’m not really following your description. If you have proj.veg with 8 tracks, you should be able to open proj.veg the next day and have the same 8 tracks. If you open proj.veg as a media file in another project it will be nested.

If that’s the case, try right-clicking on the ‘merged’ event and see if there is an option ‘edit in Vegas’. That would mean it is indeed a nested project file.

Maybe you could send the .veg file(s).

Yes, simply delete it. You can’t expand it to tracks in the host project, if that’s what you meant.

That would be cool though.

Dude, you fell for the old separate-hard-drive-stalled-render trick! ha!
Just kidding man. That is handy to know. Thanks for posting.
