I think you’re asking for a lot of ‘on-the-fly’ processing. I generally do all my color correction and visual traetment, then click the split-screen view and select-all to disable the viewing of plugins while I edit and cut.

You can turn them back on at any time to see what a particular edit would be like.

I have 12-real cores and I don’t get full speed smoothness when using plugins that effect full frames.

Try replacing it with itself.

You will want to use a Variable Bit Rate (VBR) mpeg-2 for the video file. To get the best settings download Mark’s DVD Bitrate Calculator it is available here: https://www.johncline.com/bitcalc110.zip

Learn how to use this and you will get the best quality that you can.

You will also encode your audio in Digital Dolby – AC3. There are templates for these in Vegas.

Have you tried using the device explorer on the view menu? I think it will take care of the renaming problem.

Scott,

I haven’t done this for years (like 5) and technology has changed a good deal.

The problems I had involved computer speed. I could capture uncompressed to the HDD but did not have sufficient power to compress on-the-fly. The result was a huge good file that because of the data rate involved could not be played back accurately. I see this today on ‘lesser’ computers when I try to playback 25Mbps HD video.

If you render your video to a target file it might playback just fine. How many MB are in 1 minutes worth of captured DV?

Just my thoughts,

Jeff

Unless you really tweaked the template, it’s probably not a DVDA or a codec problem. I have had trouble in the past when I burned the DVD’s to fast, like 20x. Every one I burn now is done no greater than 8x. I have an 11:1 duplicator that I have throttled back to 8x with a read verify. It takes longer but works better. Try re-burning a DVD at a very slow speed, like 4x and see if that does not help your situation.

Steve, I don’t do quicktime, don’t you need the pro version?

Friedrich,

You can give them an uncompresses AVI, but the might not know what to do with it. Or, you could buy quicktime pro and give them an uncompressed .mov file, which will be huge.

You might ask if they can use an Avid DNxHD file.

I have not built this computer but it looks like it’s pretty solid. Others here have recommended it.

SSD’s have come down in price, and I wouldn’t get one that big anyway. I have two 64 GB SSD, striped (raid 0) for my home system. Really fast.

I would recommend two drives in raid 0 on your data drive too, using either 1 or 2 TB drives. The speed increases.

Don’t skimp on the power supply and get a good aftermarket CPU cooler. I use liquid at home and at work.

RAM has come down too, so at least 24 GB.

I prefer EVGA and ASUS mother boards.

Have fun,

Jeff

You need to create a DVD Architect project. Bring in your mpeg files to it, making sure the audio is brought in as well. Then make the DVD.

There are plenty of youtube videos on how to use DVDA and also the help is very helpful.

Good luck,

Jeff
