>You are only calculating the difference of PROGRESSIVE frames. Video >contains TWO fields so that’s 60 images per second for 30 fps

Definitely yes, but these are not full frames, just half frames.
Not 30*720*480, but 60*720*240 for a second. (One field contains a 720*240 half-frame).
Finally, it makes the same pixel amount.

Am I wrong?

Check your project properties, if there’s a deinterlace method.
And then when you’re going to render, click “custom” then on the
“video” tab at “video format” choose your codec.
2 lines above that you see “field order”, choose progressive.

I guess this should work.

Hope I could help.

And _NOW_ I cannot too.

Really don’t know what was happening.

In fact I didn’t have a certain idea
how the final dvd menu should look,
and tested lot’s of buttons, played
with properties, looked up themes,
changed the background graphic
more times, and so on until I find
a “look&feel” which I felt OK for this
work.

And then when everything seemed OK
my thumbnails didn’t want to animate…

Ehhh.

The important thing is that _NOW_
my DVD looks exactly like I want it
to look.

Later if I’ll have more time, I’ll
try to reproduce the problem.

Anyway, thank you for your attention.

Well, of course I have set r.i.f. off/on
on all my pages already, so everything is just fine.

That must be some bug in DVDA3, that driven me crazy.

My thumbnails was first still.
Then I have set “redusce interlace flicker on”.
Then I set my thumbnails to be animated.

And then checked the result, and was not that I expected
(animating thumbs).

I played around a lot, and found:

setting reduce interlace flicker to off and then back to on
makes the thumbs start to animate…
On other pages, where I didn’t change r.i.f. off and on,
the animating thumbs are still however they should move…

Did I found a BUG?

Thanks for your help!

No, I prepared the disc.
The prepeare is ready in few minutes,
which is very short time when it’s about
animated thumbnails.
Then I view the prepared disc (not burnt on
DVD yet) with my player, and the thumbnails
are still.

I just updated to DVDA3 to 3.0a build 117,
but did not solve the problem.

And my loops are bad too.
I’m thinking of returning to DVDA2…

Hi, just a think:

24 fps video contains 24*720*576 pixels in a second,
that’s 9953280.
30 fps video contains 30*720*480 pixels in a second,
that’s 10368000.
That makes approx 4% difference in my calculation…

Firmware bug in player.
Either update it’s firmware,
or return it to the dealer,
or throw it away (thrash can, dust bin, etc.)

Hi,

I’m working on Win2k hungarian version, sp4 with all patches available, and Vegas 5.0a.

All I can tell you, that lame caused crashes for me too,
then I found radium fhg mp3 codec.
I completely removed lame, before I installed the radium.
(If something, this could make difference… or?)
After and since that everything works like a charm.
No crash, no bitrate limit, just work…

If it’s something about XP, I can’t give any help, I don’t use
XP yet.

Hope I could help.
