Thanks for helping. I have Vegas 5d and got the xvid codec. I have an error message saying “An error occured during the current operation. An Exception has occured.” Vegas needs to be closed after that.

My settings for my project are 1920 x 1080 with a PAR of 1.0 and in progressive. I am rendering an uncompressed AVI that has the same settings and applied color correction to it. I am rendering this out in order to view it on my HD Monitor that is 1920×1080 in square pixels. This is an animation type of clip too that is 10 seconds long.

My Xvid settings are: Project is set at best quality with no audio. frame size is use project settings, NTSC frame rate, prog. scan, PAR of 1.0, Xvid MPEG-4 codec.

The Configure tab of the codec sttings are: single pass, 1.0 target quantizer at 9600 kbps, unrestricted profile with MPEG type quantization with quarter pixel and B-VOPs checked and the aspect ratio of square 1:1.

The quality preset tab settings: Motion search precision is 6 and VHQ mode is 4 and Use chroma motion is checked.

In other options tab: FourCC used is “XVID”.

When I start rendering it, after a couple seconds, Vegas crashes. I have rendered this same file out in WMV9 format and it looks good on the monitor. I heard this Xvid codec would give me better results. Please help. I have Xp64, Dell Precision 670, 2.8 GHz with 2.0 GB of RAM.

Yeah, I thought of that too. Tried it from Vegas and worked fine, except that the button highlight for the selected state was “on” the whole duration of the menu. In Encore and DVDSP, the highlighted button in its selected state would only appear once it rolls over the loop point. I would assume that works for DVDA 3, right?

Thanks guys. I need to loop the menu at a point that is not at the beginning. So I guess I got to get DVDA 3. Oh well.

Thanks. I did and it was really complex with the navigation and all but it was a success. I did the auto-activate to play the colored menu for 2 seconds and then it end jumped back to the previous menu. Very complicated at times, but with good organization with folders, it became easier.

You should check if you made sure that the opening menu is “Set as First Play” and then try previewing it.
