  • Nevermind, I figured it out… “use global light” was selected and I didn’t realize it…

    Hmm now I’m really confused as I read this on dvddemystified.com:

    “A DVD-5 with only one surround stereo audio stream (at 192 kbps) can hold over 55 hours of audio. A DVD-18 can hold over 200 hours.” https://www.dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html

    Big difference between 12 hours (96kbps) and that be considered pushing the boundaries, and over 55 hours at 192kbps…

    Am I missing something here? Here is how I checked that 55 hours thing:

    192,000bps x 60 secs = 11,520,000bpm (bits per minute)

    11,520,000bpm x 60 mins = 691,200,000 bits per hour x 8 bits per byte = 86,400,000 bytes per hour

    4,699,979,766 total bytes on DVD-5 / 86,400,000 bytes per hour = 54.4 hours of 192kbps audio

    Is that calculation correct or?

    Aside from that, when you say “create a still frame for the video,” If I create a still frame, won’t it still get encoded as video? I’ve never worked with stills before so I’m not too sure…

    “In Photoshop CS2, there’s also an option that can save you the step of moving your layers to separate documents. Use File > Scripts > Layers to Files.”

    That is just awesome and it appeared to work too! Question though, when I try and import a psd into DVD Workshop 2, two different ways, 2 things happen. One way, it imports looking the way it should, however the background behind the text is black. The second way I tried to import it, the psd loses the styling I applied to the text and it’s just plain white.. If I import as PNG instead of PSD will this fix it?

    I see… Can you take a look at this template? There are dotted lines and solid lines on it, so I’m not sure, but I think the design is supposed to be within the dotted lines?

    What are your thoughts on the Lynda.com training videos for Photoshop?

    I see how it works now; thanks! Is there a way to make a portrait oriented rectangle instead of landscape? That’s the shape I need to place over the chord diagram.. The square won’t fit right

  • I tried frame serving before from Vegas to another encoder and it was incredibly slow.. I don’t have a super duper computer, but the slow down was very obvious from what it does with the built in encoders in Vegas

    well I figure I can just use the downward facing arrow and keyframe it as I need it to move.. seems simple enough.. I’m just not sure what that other fellow was talking about =)
