John, either my assumptions about producing a final product in 16:9 on a DVD are wrong, or I am doing something wrong in the render process. I used your idea of placing generated media around the SD clip (from the earlier thread you mentioned). Everything looks really good in the Vegas Pro 8 preview. The project settings are HDV 1080-60i. When I rendered I chose MPEG2. In DVDA the SD clips fill the whole screen, and there are black lines at the top and bottom of the HD clips. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Jim

Thanks, John. I had done a search for SD and HD, and the thread you told me about did not show up. I appreciate the ideas. All the best, Jim

Did you render the HDV file to AVI?

My “AVI” file will not play in Vegas Pro 8 and it will not play in Windows Media Player. I am pretty sure it is not rendering properly. It should play in Vegas if it is rendered properly. Any other ideas. Thanks, Jim

I am new to HD, so if you think I should change something, please let me know. I am not totally sure I know where to find the answers to some of your questions, but here is what I think you want:

Video stream is MPEG2 1440x1080x12

I don’t need the audio for this clip.

Project properties is 8 bit.

The AVI type is the Video for Windows option in Vegas Pro 8.

Thanks for your help.

Steve, I should be able to make an AVI file from a .m2t file, right?

I am wondering if the tapes I used (SD Panasonic) contributed to the problem. Any thoughts? Jim

John, do folks who use the HVR-MRC1 recording unit run into the same capture issues? Thanks, Jim

Yes, I turned off scene detection, and it helped a little, but not nearly enough. Are you able to capture successfully in Vegas? This is driving me nuts. Jim

Steve, I downloaded HDVSplit. It said the audio is turned off, and I should download and configure ffdshow. I downloaded it, but I am not sure how to configure. Any suggestions? Jim
