Awesome! It worked. I used the Sony AVC at 16Mb/s Template and it played beautifully on my player.

Thanks for the help…

Thanks Dave –

by “just getting the audio” I was referring to playing the DVD in my Blu-ray player. When I put the disc into the Pioneer BD-RW player, it automatically begins to play – however you only hear the audio (the screen is black).

I’m going to try rendering to Sony AVC at 16Mb/s and see if that helps.

thanks for tip.

SUCCESS!!! Perhaps this will help someone if they run into a similar problem. I went back and rendered each scene individually with the “Main Concept MPEG-2 / Template: BluRay 1920x1080i 24p/25mbps” template. All scenes rendered successfully. However, the master veg file would still not render.

I then went in and looked at each scene’s “Properties” and noted that not all scenes were consistent. Some were using the HD 1080-24p others were using a template that had 29.970 FPS. Further I had different “Pixel Formats (some at “8 bit” other scenes at “32-bit floating point full range”).

Once I made all scenes consistent (“Main Concept MPEG-2 / Template: BluRay 1920x1080i 24p/25mbps” And “32-bit floating point full range”) I was able to render with success……

Good learning experience…

Thanks Steve….indeed I did have a number of unused media files in the “Project Media” tab. I went ahead and removed all the unused files. However it still did not help. I am still locking up at the same point in the rendering process.

I’ll keep trying, perhaps rendering individual scenes to isolate the problem…

Has anyone tried this program? I’m currently shooting HD MTS files (about 3 minutes in length. I’m rendering these files to MP4 (1280×720 / 2MPS)and emaiing the files to clients.

I now want to post these files to a webpage and was looking for an HD Flash format. I’m wondering what program would be best to use to convert to flash.

On a side note, from a workflow perspective, is there a better way to render the original file (before rendering to flash). I.e Render the original to MOV(custom Animation?). I’m trying to reduce the amount of times I need to render files. The MP4 is working well for emailing/quality — so if I could stay with that, that would be good, but am open to your thoughts if it will improve quality or save time.

[John Rofrano] “Make sure that when you install future VST plug-ins, you place them in the same folder so that Vegas sees them.”

will do – thanks for the heads up.

Thanks John – I actually found a youtube video that showed me how to create a folder (I called it VST Plug-Ins) in my program folder on the “C” drive. I put the BIAS.dll in there. Launched Vegas and navigated to that folder. It worked! So everything is working.

For whatever reason, I could not find a “VST” folder in the Sony main folder. I saw “Video Plug-Ins” and a couple of other folders that had plug-in extensions, but no VST folder. Note – that in Vegas – when I went to the VST folder thru the “View” Plug-ins menu, my VST folder was there, but empty. Once I created the new folder and navigated there, I was able to see BIAS.

Thanks again for your hel and quick responses.

Okay – here’s an update. I just got an email back from BIAS Support that said:
“We have seen this with certain Windows systems with the Realtek soundcards. We have found that you must have both the input AND output being used to allow SoundSoap 2 to work with it.

You would only need to plug a cable into the input, not actually be sending audio to the input – this could be a cable, a set of headphones – anything with a 1/8″ connection.”

This actually worked! I used a 1/8″ plug into the line/mic jack and I’m in business.

Now – what am I doing wrong to get Vegas to recognize Soundsoap as a VST plug in?

[Marlen Mathers]

That’s what I thought too. I gave a shot at installing the program on my 32bit XP system and can’t even get by the installation stage. I’m getting an “Error 1904 module C:\windows32\msxml4.dll failed to register. Contact your support personnel message.

I did find a BIAS forum that I just posted to and I’ll see what comes back…I’m thinking I should have gone Izotope RX, but thought it may be a little overkill for my needs (and a little pricey), but I may have to reconsider.

Thanks for your help.

It’s not in the VST folder. I did a little research in this forum and a I saw a post from you that Soundsoap only works with Vegas 32bit not 64. Could this be why I’m not seeing it in the VST folder?

Also – still not getting it to work as a standalone either…more research to do…….
