    I second that.
    Peter has very genourously tested my DVDA file by burning to a DVD-RW and his expert opinion is that DVDA3 anti flicker filter is a good thing.
    Thank you Peter.

  • Just installed V6.0a (b99).
    The MPEG2 render at CBR crashes at 200Mb (6,500 frames ). MPEG2 render using VBR works fine. Same effect as I get with 5.0d.

  • “While Vegas is not running delete C:Program FilesSonyShared Plug-Ins, and then reinstall Vegas. Now are you able to render to MPEG again?
    Thanks for the info Yoyodyne.
    I was hoping that would cure my problems with MPEG2-CBR render but it that is not to be.
    I uninstalled V5.0d. Deleted the shared plug-ins folder. Also uninstalled DVDA2 for good measure.

    MPEG2 render (CBR) stops at around 200Mb with indeteminate error.

    What I did notice was that the W2k registry still had the Mainconcept entry after unistall of V5.0d and DVDA2.

    Here, perhaps Edward Troxel can help.

    The registry entry is

    Currentkey: xxxxx etc. 3P9VDII
    INSTFLAGS: REG_DWORD: 0X10
    KEY1: Xxxxx etc. 3P9VD
    The last 2 charcters in line 1 are not I,i or 1 but a bold vertical character.
    Looking at the V4 registry entry, which works fine with MPEG2, is similar to V5 entry but first line is
    Currentkey: xxxxx etc. 3P9VDIZ

    What do you think Edward?

  • Thanks Peter. That is very kind of you.
    I have not really used DVDA2 since I got it last year. I shall have a go at replicating one of my menus from DVD Workshop.

  • If you send the DVDA3 .dar file to me with any media, I’ll have a go at burning it and send you a screen shot.
    Thank you Peter for your very kind offer. I am just wondering whether the screen shot will reveal the flicker seen on PAL TV.

    Peter, I normally use text only on my menus. For stage shows I may have 2 columns with 10 rows for scene selections. This is where the interlace flicker on DVDA2 becomes unacceptable. I have stuck to DVD workshop because its flicker filter sems to be very effective.

    Talking about text only menus, I have not found a way (may be I have not looked hard enough) to use text only in DVDA. Perhaps you can guide me to appropriate place in the manual.

    Again thanks for the offer.

    Regards

  • DVDA2 doesn’t have as many encoding options as Vegas, particularly 2 pass encoding, but I see DVDA3 has Interlace Flicker removal.
    Peter
    I downloaded the DVDA3 trial.Ofcourse I could not burn a trial project to see if the menu text improves with the anti flicker filter.
    I did burn the demo video_ts file and text looks good. It is a large chunky font.
    Is there any way I could burn a dummy menu with some text on it, to DVD?

    Regards

  • Thanks Peter. Anti interlace filter will definitely encourage me to test out DVDA3.

    As I mentioned, V5.0d DOES render MPEG2 in VBR. It crashes if CBR is selected.
    I suspect DVDA2 uses VBR. I dragged a 7GB file in the menu window and set the bit rate at 6Mb/s. It’s still rendering and I suspect it will render to the end.

  • That’s an interesting thought Peter.
    I do not use DVDA2 and prefer to use DVD Workshop. This is purely personal and subjective assessment but I find interlace flicker on menu-text unacceptable. DVDW has anti interlace flicker filter which works well.

    I just fired up DVDA and it’s rendering a 7 GB file. I can not find an option to specify CBR/VBR encoding.
    Is there one?
