Joe,
I managed to just render it in pieces and put it together in DVDA. I thought I would give your suggestion a go and sure enough it rendered all 2h28m no problems. Seems the GPU acceleration was the problem which does make you question the benefit of Pro 11 over Pro 10.

Nigel,
I am actually running Pro 11. I upgraded from 10.
I tried rendering section to *.mpg and then re-importing them and slapping them on the timeline. I did not work. The preview screen kept playing up and I could not review the project.
I have started rendering small sections which I can then connect in DVDA. Not ideal and it makes skipping back and forward limited but no other option.
I turned the GPU off but again..kind of defeats the purpose of Pro 11. The NXCAM footage is not the problem. It is definitely the D90 avi footage.

My initial attempts at this have either produced excessively large file sizes (far beyond the 25GB the BD-R holds), great video but no sound, or choppy audio with ok video.
Depending on the length of the video it may well be in excess of 25GB. I created a ~ 2.5 hour wedding video and it was ~ 32GB from memory. You may need to use DL Blu-ray discs which can hold up to 50GB.

Thanks for the feedback. I just installed the demo of Pro and at a glance it seems better, i.e. runs smooth in the video preview. Slow-mos and long cross fades were an issue with Platinum but this seems to be fixed. Is there a reason why Pro would/should be better?
Nigel, as for the video card I am running a Gigabytpe GTS 450 1GB GDDRS. Is this sufficient/good enough or is it well below par?

Mac, let me know how you go when you go to edit the two different formats. I am now looking at the HXR-NX5U given the minimal price different of ~ $300. I am also upgrading my RAM from 12GB to 24GB. Not sure if it will make a huge difference but my render time for a 2.5hr BD was 9 hours last week.

John I am running with a PC i7 w/ 16gb ram, windows 7 64bit. Will it be enough? Any recommedations.

Yes you do! You shot interlaced video with your FX7 and you had better tell Vegas the deinterlace method that you want to use otherwise will will see all sorts of interlace problems.
Does this still apply if I making DVDs/BDs for viewing on Full HDTVs via a player connected with a HDMI cable? Reason I ask is, ‘most’ of my clients (and me) are using this setup no issues. Based on your advice I will turn it back on.
We can’t tell because you didn’t tell us what your render settings are. How did you render the file? What settings and template did you use?
I am not picking a template. I select ‘MAKE MOVIE’ and then pick ‘Burn to a DVD for Blu-Ray’. Then I select Blu-ray.
I typically do not use the Render As feature unless creating videos for the blog or iPhone4. By the look of it, I would need to render twice if I did use Render As; once for the video ‘Main Concept MPEG-2’ (*.m2V) and once for the audio ‘Sony Wave 64’ (*.w64).

Next question. I now have Vegas 10 and need to create both a DVD version and BD version of a movie. For DVD in the past, I use the PAL DV Widescreen template in Vegas and select ‘best’ for the full resolution. This way, when I use DVDA I do not have to re-render (which I believe reduces my quality). This I have found produces the sharpest results when viewing.
So, do I have to render from Vegas twice; one for DVD and once for BD and then send to DVDA OR can I render once in Vegas. If so to the latter, what settings should I use in Vegas.
-
Thanks for that John. Sure enough version 8 does not support BD, hence the reason I could not find anything in the help menu.
Looking at upgrading to Movie Studio HD 10 Platinum Suite as I really can not justify going Pro for what I need. I have proven already that I should not ‘assume’…so…will I be able to open an existing Vegas project from v8 in v10 to burn to a BD? Surely the two are compatible.

If you are using wireless mics with a receiver that has a 3.5mm jack why did you even need XLR at the camera?
I want to replace the 3.5mm male-male jack with the 3.5mm male-2xXLR input as at present both channels are on one track in Vegas. I want to be able to isolate the two mics so that I can remove unwanted audio. Sure I can turn one channel off at the receiver but it is a lot of stuffing around.
Non-related, I am getting some random drop out via the wireless mics. They work the majority of the time. Last week for example, I had a laval mic on the groom and the other laval mic on the lectern. The priest was ‘supposed’ to be at the lectern or with the couple. He decided to stand in the middle for a minute for two and was probably 12 feet from both sources and slightly in front with his back to them. Sure enough…I noticed a couple of times where the sound just dropped out. And I mean totally. It is a silent section in Vegas for like a half second and I can only put it down to the fact that he was ‘out of range’. This should not cause a total cut out though? The batteries in the receiver/transmitters are new for each job as I can not risk dead batteries. Any ideas what might cause these silent sections? The unit is an AZDEN 320
