I’m using Build 595 (64-bit) and just started using the Batch Render. I also noticed that I’m missing the option to render in AC3 Pro. Not sure why. Has anyone contacted to Sony to see if this is a bug?

John,

I was planning on buying one of these volumes to check it out. I do sports highlight videos for soccer. Do you have any recommendation on either of the three volumes?

Thanks,
Mike

John,

Thanks for all the help and explanations.

The soccer games that I tape are offered to the teams. Not everyone who will view the soccer games have Blu-Ray players.

I personally have a Blu-Ray player but I need to buy a Blu-ray burner. I will buy one and try to do some Blu-Ray for just myself to practice.

Will there be any difference in the rendering times between working with SD and HQ?

I am planning on having it viewed on tv. I am viewing it on a computer monitor. The horizontal lines I’m seeing is just on the players’ uniforms. It doesn’t go across the whole monitor.

On a HD tv, there is some fuzziness around the moving players from the DVD. Is there a way to get a clearer DVD output without burning it to blu-ray.

Thanks for all the help. I will be able to just do the pan/crop for the 4:3 since most of the top and bottom portions are not needed since it’s a video of a soccer game (top has the sky).

Thanks. That fixed the problem.

That worked great! I scaled it and moved it to the lower right hand corner.

Much easier than using the pan/crop.

Thanks Stephen for the advice.

I have never shot in HD yet. Will shooting in HD HQ be a big improvement over shooting in SD? Also, when I edit the HD HQ files in Vegas Pro, will it re-encode like the SD mpg2 files?

My background is constantly changing since I am recording a soccer game and doing a lot of panning. After I do the trimming and adding chapter markers, so I save as AVI or mpg2 before taking it over to DVDA?

Sorry I wasn’t clear. I am shooting in SD. My output files are mpg2. For a 45 minute half, my raw mpg2 files are around 3 GB. My end goal is to use DVDA to burn both game halves on to a DVD (90 minutes of video). I plan to use dual layer DVDs so that I can fit the full 90 minutes. All I want to do is do some trimming on the ends of the file and add chapter markers for when a person scores a goal.

What would be the best way to do that to prevent re-encoding in both Vegas and DVDA?

I notice the way I’m doing it right now, in Vegas, it shrinks my 3 GB file down to about 2 GB. Then, when I take these two 2 GB files to DVDA, it fits on a single layer DVD but it’s grainy. I’m more concerned with the quality of the video than with shrinking the file size.
