I put a few clips on the time line & selected edit then switches then selected deinterlace filter. I went back & found that the first clip had the switch turned on but the second one didn’t. I was under the impression that anything done at track level applied to all clips on a track. Am I wrong or did I go to wrong place to turn on switch?

Thanks in advance

The objective is just to give the family something on a DVD which will remind them of their overseas trip.

The original is only of a family trip to Europe. As with most videos I find that about 80% of sound is unusable due to outside irrelevant sounds. Little of the original audio is usable it’s just best to delete it all & then just use paste repeat for the few audio clips that are usable. I will add titles, transitions & if the owner wishes he can dictate his original memories onto the time line.

I’m also add music & any stills they might have taken at the same time as the video. I was also thinking to putting a suitable high quality background & then shrinking down all of the video to help make the poor video quality less noticeable.

Thanks in advance

Yes it was great to get a solution to that problem. At least the program is now on disk pretty much as I had intended it. I had 2 other things in mind to try before burning the disk but they were mainly just to see how it happens. Well neither of those 2 extra things happened but I can’t see myself wasting more time just to get 2 extra things that I didn’t really mind.

Just for the record they were doing transitions between 2 menus’ & adding an extra option to my menu so that you could have had the option of seeing just the highlights of the disk.

Thanks in advance

Reducing the size fixed the problem. I still don’t see why it would display correctly in edit mode & not in preview.

Thanks once again

Thanks in advance

I should have added in previous post the reason for the huge files was because the video that was being saved was uncompressed since the standard codec wasn’t available,

Thanks in advance

I tried doing this my crossfade but found that when I dragged the right hand clip over the left that the right hand clip always 100% replaced the left. This gave me the impression that the 2 clips were directly one over the other & as a result I got no crossfade. I presume that if I don’t drag the right hand clip all the way on top of the left there will be a jump from one frame to another one, other than what was intended.

I would appreciate if you could elaborate a bit about this. What do you do something like saving a copy of 2 different menus then take them into Vegas & drop a standard transition like cross fade, clock wipe etc & then render this out & import it in DVDA?

Thanks in advance

I have had another go at it & now have it working. Thanks for the help.

I downloaded the codec at the location you suggested DVD help. I unzipped the file but I get no option from right clicking to install the codec as suggested at that site. Is there any other way to install the codec?

Thanks in advance

Isn’t it scripts that are being used in programs like Tsunami to create a video wall?

Thanks in advance
