it is not only mpeg2 always gets reencoded in vegas.
look here: your project is hd, your vob is pal. it must be upscaled, tho it must be reencoded anyway -
IMHO the best way is to… drag the vobs to the timeline and that is it. remember – you drop vobs with your film, not vts_01_0.vob nor video_ts.vob
if your video is split in multiple vobs i think you may have gaps between your vobs dropped on the timeline. so you have to to use a kind of vob2mpg application. it should join your set of vobs and delete any data required by dvd standard which you don’t need in your mpg file. -
it is the only thing that i really miss in vegas: moving an object on a curved path, like you can do in after effects. could you share your project, i mean your event with your pan/crop settings? i wish i could take a look at your experiments with it.

is there any use of transcoding 4:2:0 to 4:2:2? once the information is gone in 420, it will not magically reveal after transcoding to 422.

no it won’t be copied to your project folder. it will be copied to a directory you specify.
and my god, of course it will be copied and you cannot delete the copy. you must consider nested projects as a media file as they work the same way.
i think you yourself make a mess. you have to define what you mean by your “project folder”. which do you mean? original or the copy? when you create a project for nesting you have to save it somewhere. and in “save with media” process it will be all copied, with nested projects which actually are media files and with media files belonging to those nested projects. so you have everything copied in one folder of your choice and don’t touch it. you can erase everything else including your system files. just don’t touch the copied folder and your project will be safe. and my god, i don’t wanna be rude, questions are good in general but it takes only a minute to create any project and nest it to another test project, and save it with copy media option, so you have all that nested, tested and just learned the best possible way – by your own experience.
EOT as for me.
take care -
thanks. i am a poet sometime…

save the main project with “copy all files” to a single main folder. inside of it organize your media any way you like. opening your new project vegas will ask you for new location, replacement or will give you search option for the first media ‘unfound’. search option is the easiest. after the first media is found vegas will automatically recognize other media files if they are kept in the same folder. if not, you will use search again until all medias are found in locations which you just organized to your liking. after that you can save this new main project and all your medias will now be re-linked to new locations and vegas will from now on find them normally during the next opening. (unless you don’t move them again)
now you can delete all original medias from all over your disk. they all are copied now.
on deleting original media: very comfortable option is to do it not from system explorer but from the original project file – this way you don’t have to search them – especially useful when your media are spread all over. two remarks here: watch out with the medias that you have stored on your computer for multi-use like sound fx, background etc.
and for the end: while deleting medias or just any files, don’t chat with your girl or admire a rainbow through the window, you really must be aware what and from where you are deleting.
hope this helps

NO I FInally gave up on that.

If all 3 players are the same and in the same location, one remote will do everything.
LOL, what a moron of me!!! it is i just haven’t done such a thing. i am sure i ‘d have figure it out as soon as i’d really started to wok on that 🙂

The example that you gave is a normally edited 16:9 video with mask on it. if I i were to do it I would just edit normally – this way you will have perfect timing for showing all 3 parts of your screen. After that I would just make 3 separate files with each part of the screen centered and the rest masked. Sound only for one of the three to make it easier. It is not a problem to make that video. Very easy in fact. The problem is to run those 3 parts with a perfect synchro. There is expensive software and hardware to do it pro way. But I am pretty sure that for the local church it will be good enough to set 3 separate dvd/bluray players (the same model would be perfect) and just 3 people could get themselves trained to run all 3 discs on ‘one, two, three…go”.
