Thank you for replying…I had totally forgot that i even made a post.

STRICT??? You are not kidding. I uploaded a rap video. The video is a Post-production 2K HD Render for internet and local viewing. The video shows how you can view 2K video without any dramatic hardware investment. I have been devoting my time to creating 2K HD so ordinary users can view. Accidentally, I stumbled on a way to scale down — without compromising the quality — the bit rate and file size by 1 tenth. Pretty Awesome. It takes serious focus and time, but I love it, so I am not complaining. EXCEPT, I do have problem when I put forth so much time and effort to publish my work(no charge), and it is blocked. Here is the email I got from the CC team:

“Thank you for your recent video submission. However, Creative COW is a PG rated site, and your video has R-rated language. Please re-edit using whichever method you choose to clean it up, then post it again. It is very good work, and we look forward to featuring it at that time.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… Are you joking? I am not going to censor this video. This is not me performing. I am not going to ask my client if I can make a “M-TV” version so I can put it on this “Disney” site. They are a “PG rated” site ROTFL. They actually say, “…to clean it up.” WTF do you think I did when I remastered it?

Anyway, thanks for reading my rant. I am just blown away. That is like saying, “We really enjoyed your movie, Mr. Scorsese. However, do you think you can re edit it with not curse words? Then we would be happy to feature Goodfellas.” BTW, Martin Scorsese has been rated the number two director, behind Alfred Hitchcock, of all time.

Good Luck and Enjoy,

Max

I can help. First render your raw video files in sony vegas as .avi container files…do not check anything that would make the avi actually be an A/V interleave. You need to check the create an Ultra DMA file and nothing else….choose your frame rate as your source, choose the frame resolution as you wish, make sure you have the aspect ration 1.0 square pixels….also, go to before you click on render as, go to your preferences and set your RAM to 0 but keep the threads 4.

1. Render as uncompressed AVI
2. check the make Ultra dma compatible file box.
3. uncheck anything that has to do with interleaving, such as key frames or alpha whatchamacallit, also make sure it is set to progressive not lower or upper field.
4. check the render at best and 32bit
5. make sure audio file is set to uncompressed pcm(wav) 16kbs and 44 to 48k .
6. when you have all of your settings proper, save your rendering properties so the next time you don’t have to deal with this.
7. Get back to the save as box, you should see untitled.avi and uncompressed avi as the setting.
8. Change your file name to whatever and change the save to place if you want.
9. Check the little settings box that it says uncompressed and elementary stream…then click save….

It should take a while to render and if you need a lot of HDD space depending on your file size and resolution, etc. We are talking over 100GB files. remember they are RAW. So, just leave your computer to go to work. If you need the computer set Vegas to low in the task manager.

AFTER RENDER, Import the new file. Now, use the Media Concept Codec to render your huge AVI to an MP4. Make sure your RAM is set to zero in the properties. Set it considerably lower and key frames are okay,
pray and click save….you should get a file about 1/10th the size and with not much quality loss. You can now format it for DVD.

Hope this helps,
Max
