Make sure that the “Ignore Event Grouping” icon on the lower taskbar is not selected or enter Ctrl-Shift-U to toggle.

Your choice of rendering format will depend on your final delivery medium. Do you want to make a DVD that you can play on a TV? Or, do you want to create a file that you can simply “play” on your computer or stream to your TV using a media player? Given the fact that you’re starting with VHS, it will not look very good however it is rendered–at least compared to today’s HD digital media.

Glad it’s working for you and that you’ve now learned the two ways of doing it. Using these two methods in concert allows you to do other things, e.g. crop the image first in the pan/crop window and then move it around using track motion to create a picture-in-picture effect. Lots of possibilities.

What is everyone doing? Just savings all their files to Hard Drive as 30p and 60p, and then waiting for a better technology like Bluray version 2?
I can’t speak for everyone, but I gave up writing to discs quite awhile ago. I use a Sony Blu-ray player (2013 model) to “play” my media files that I stream directly from a PC. Why fiddle with loading a disc when you can easily access all of your media content directly from your PC? What I really like about the Sony is the ability to “play” 1080 60P files, something else the Blu-ray spec does not support. Since most camcorders of today record at 1080 60P–it seems a shame to have to render at 24P (terrible choice) or 60i just to be able to write it to a shiny disc that is a real pain to use and store. Just my opinion.
Regarding your TM-300 footage, the best quality “should” be when rendered at 60i, the same as the original recording. If you are using just Vegas, that should be the only option I would consider. Perhaps you could post an example of “tearing”.

I kinda like Wayne’s way better if you don’t have a lot of events.
Even if you do, just copy the first event after making the correction, select the remaining events and PEA (Paste Event Attributes). This way, you can have other events on that track that are not 16:9 such as stills. That’s the nice thing about Vegas–there’s usually more than one way to get the job done.

First, set your project properties to 4:3, e.g. NTSC DV (720 x 480). When you import your 16:9 file, there should be black bars on top and bottom. To fill the black bars and stretch your image back to 4:3, open the Pan/Crop box. Under Source, Change Maintain aspect ratio to “No” and Stretch to fill frame to “yes”. The black bars should disappear and your frame should be filled at the correct aspect ratio. In the event I misunderstood your problem, a screen shot would be useful.

Ok, the project is 1440×1080, 25i, 5.1 surround sound, 18Mbits streams. This is how it comes from the camera (avchd format) so I made the project exactly the same.
Don’t you mean 50i?
Screenshots from MediaInfo for your media file, your Vegas project settings and Vegas render settings would be useful. A screenshot of your timeline at the place where it stops might also provide some clues.
Have you tried rendering just the audio? You can render just your 5.1 ac3 track. It should render pretty quickly and if successful, it would at least rule out a problem with your audio.
If all else fails, you could set up a number of loop regions and just render out shorter segments and later combine them into your final file. In all honesty, I don’t think I’d ever attempt to render a six and a half hour program in just one pass, but rather break it down in manageable segments and simply combine the rendered files afterward. Just a thought.

I have no idea whether Vegas allows you to save such an animation as a preset. If not, another option would be to simply copy the event into a new project and save the project. So whenever you need that event, open the project, copy the text event and paste it into the project you’re working on.

Only way I know is to embed media markers into the event using Trimmer. Open media in Trimmer, add markers, names etc. and then move to timeline. You will see the embedded media markers displayed along with names. The event can be moved and markers will remain.

I cannot open the link, it’s strange.
Works fine here. Try to simply copy it and place it in your address bar.
