PROBLEM

1) I printed to tape an MPG project of 18 minutes to tape. No problemo

2) Tried to repeat process with identical type of project of 55 minutes. Error every time at some point.
Different points, but after a certain length of time- project errors out.

3) Defragmented, moved temp folders, nothing worked. After a certain amount of time, unpredictably so- the thing crashes.

4) FRONTAL LOBES POP!!!

5) I opened a generally really really excellent program- DISKKEEPER PRO for defragmenting the hard drives.
IT WAS RUNNING all by itself, and on the drive my temp Vegas and rendered files were going on. It ground the rendering frame rate to less than snails pace. I stopped the program– didn’t even know WHY it was running all by itself, I certainly didn’t turn it on– and as soon as I stopped it- voila, the rendering frame rate sped up to normal, and the project completed.

Apparently, as I soon found, I had accidentally turned on AUTO DE-FRAGMENT on the very drive I was using for files in Vegas. No wonder the project wouldn’t finish. Apparently, every hour or so, the Diskeeper program began running, and invariably sabatoged my 55 minute project.

I would recommend Diskeeper to everyone and anyone, it is really a great program, much better for defragmenting than regular Windows XP defragmenter– but for gosh sakes–DON”T LET IT AUTO DEFRAG!!
Big Duh.

Please see my movie at http://www.MirrorMovie.com for PREVIEWS.
It will be broadcast throughout Colorado on KBDI Channel 12 PBS in January, prime time on one Saturday night. All done with Vegas and a Panasonic DVX100 24fps progressive. Man it turned out GREAT!

Thanks

Well, I understand, however, this is a tape being formatted for regular TV broadcast, which is low resolution to begin with, not HDTV. Mpg files look perfectly good on interlaced TV, as which DVDs are.

I attempted to make a BEST render back to AVI, and was completely unsuccessful after many tries- always a glitch/error before finishing. Good grief, you would think there would be something in the Vegas manual about restrictions, but there are not.

A regular GOOD quality AVI can be re-rendered from the mpg file, and that will print to tape.

Nothing in the Vegas manual says anything, however, that alludes that ONLY avi files can be written to tape- obviously not true, because I did exactly this with my first 18 minute section of film.

The problem was somewhat related to improper bio settings-

one of the responses below suggested that a “high performance” bio setting was causing problems, but I knew in my case this wasn’t it, because I had done all kinds of work and not changed the bios.

Further, it would seem improbable– although possible– that high performance settings wouldn’t slow down things or stop things, but would rather speed things up.

However, the note that the “exceptions” indicated problems reading the drive– EUREKA-
I had installed a generally good working ACOUSTIC MANAGEMENT program that installs from floppy on boot up– Hitatchi Feature Tool, which will slow down drive speeds at variable levels, and allow you to quiet down or completely silence drive seek noises. It works too, on most drives. It had not given me problems previously, but I had installed AFTER I finished my large project months ago.

I removed the acoustic management feature, thus getting the drives back up to full speed.

I can now print this large 55 minute project to tape from mpg direct, without having to re-render.

Too bad Vegas doesn’t give you a solution, or isn’t more specific about error messages. Otherwise, I think the best editor out there of any of the NLEs.

Well, I should not have to do this- but I DO….

Instead of trying to print the mpg file to tape, I re-rendered back to avi, NTSC DV properties,
and this prints. Note- once I re-render back to avi, I don’t have to wait for a prerender again to print.

I will also try resetting the bios to default (although I don’t even know if its set to high performance) as suggested below and will see if this allows me to read the mpg file.

Its a single mpg file.

all my drives are NTSC
