Well that’s not the sort of answer I was expecting ….
That is obvious and that is what I did but it doesn’t answer the question ?

[Peter Brown]

Ah Ha My post sure provoked some excellent responses aye !.
Obviously we all use Vegas and consider it the best that’s why we are on this Forum isnt it ?

My comment clearly said that other programs were “catching up …perhaps no where near in the same race as Vegas but it is always interesting to keep and eye on what others are doing .
I frequently dowload the free trials of programs to see how they are going .
I totally agree with you about Pinnacle Studio it was absolutly apalling but my latest recent test on Ver 14 never crashed (must be a first for Pinnacle) Ha ha and was a lot more impressive and Corel Studio has recently released a version 13 I thnk that is a lot faster usnig multple threads ect.(Both nowhere near Vegas I admit)
but at least they worked Vegas 9e didnt !

Anyway back to our favourite Sony Vegas, ,Whilst I agree with most of your comments John the fact remains that whether or not Sony is affected by economic circumstanses or not if a customer purchases one of thier products it must work properly, I can see no reason to exempt software manufacturers from what we expect from any other Manufacturer.
Sure it’s complicated but so are lots of other things ….Just look at Toyota motors recent problems, and who will ever forget Microsoft’s Millennium !!.
In my beleif people who have purchased items whether software or other items the manufacturers are producing these items for sale to make profits ! and as such they should be liable if it doesnt work properly …Microsoft never gives refunds or compensation to purchsers of their software that does not do what it’s suposed to do neither do any other software manufacturer but I believe they should, the car companies and other manufacturers have to !!,
These people are getting away with being irrisponsible and no amount of excuses is good enough, If Toyota were to say “well due to economic circumstanses we had to rely on oour customers to check the car is safe” can you imagine the reaction, Well the same goes for Sony or any other software producing company in my book

Hi Lance thanks for your comments which I agree are relevant.
Look for my post “Has Sony lost the plot”

[Peter Brown]

Thanks for your reply John.
I did not try the project in 9d as I had previously had problems this this version not loading still pictures properly.

I tried to load the project in 9b and it would not so I had to re do it.

It is interesting that we both found this problem but obviously Sony did not perhaps they should test each version a bit more thouroughly ?

Oh by the way John, do you know any keyboard shortcuts for “Select events to the end” I looked on the shortcuts manual but could not find any
Thanks

Hi Rob
Yes I did as you say and its definatly when I try to Burn the disc ….the “prepare is very fast but as soon as I start the “Burn” process it goes on for 7 hours ….must be something slowing it .

Hi Bob
I have tried a couple of different discs Verbatim and Ritek both work OK.
My Burner is a pioneer Blu-ray burner.
the problem is it works fine in Nero so why shouldnt it in DVDa?

[Peter Brown]

Hello again Rob

Well I have checked for conflicts by installing just DVD architect on a separate drive with windows still takes a long time.
So perhaps it’s how I use it as you say but DVD architect is fairly simple to use and I have had no problems.
I set the properties to Blu-ray 25 fps interlaced, I have also tried progressive, 1920 x 1080. the same as my captured and rendered Vegas project.
Then it’s just a matter of “Burn Blu-ray.
The fact that if I only “prepare” the project it happens very fast must indicate that these is not a problem with the project.
And as I said previously after preparing it in DVDa I can burn the resulting iso file in 30 minutes in Nero ?

So I have not got a clue as to what is happening in DVDa
any tips would help

Thanks

[Peter Brown]

Well Now I have an update…..
I have been experimenting with various ideas to find out why it’s taking so long to make a blu-ray disc in DVD Architect and this is what I discovered !….amazing really….
As I previously stated (above) my problem was it was taking about 7 hours to “Make a blu-ray disc” ( aprox 14GB) in DVD Architect.
I have now tried using exactly the same file and settings to just use DVD Architect to “Prepare” a file ( make an .iso. file) this takes approximatly 17 minutes.
I then burned this iso file to Blu-ray disc using Nero and this took 35 minutes..
As you can see only a total of about 1 hour to do exactly the same as DVD Architect takes to do the same thing in 7 hours.
What’s wrong with DVD Architect ?
Does anyone have any idea’s

[Peter Brown]

yes that’s the entire time in DVD Archtect
first I render in Vegas at 1080x 1920 that takes about 2 hours, then I import the file into DVD Architect cerate a menu and then burn directly to Blu ray,
So it takes 2 hours in Vegas then another 7 hours in Architect.
I checked that the video does not need re-compression so it seems like an awful long time doesnt it ?

Please advise
