<“William Van] “The core temp says I’m running at about 92 degrees c
Is that too hot?”

Yes it is. My machine never goes over 60 C., even during a long render.

“How would I know if my power supply is not powerful enough?”

When things like this start happening on a regular basis.

“Is 600 watts enough?”

It depends on factors such as your CPU, number of hard drives, video card, etc. but my guess is no
I have an older QX6700 quad core with a 750 W. supply and a large cooling fan.
When was the last time you took the cover off and blew out the dust bunnies?
I had a severe overheating problem a few years ago and had to get the CPU cooler paste replaced as the original paste had broken down.”>

I built this computer about 9 months ago.

Phenom II X4 3.2 Ghz
1 harddrive
8 GB RAM
Nvidia GTS 450

How can I make it run cooler during rendering?

The case and processor are stock.
1 case fan, stock fan on top of processor.

Would more case fans help?
Bigger fan on processor?
Would a bigger power supply help lower temp?

Don’t have any problems with this computer except when rendering large video files.

Thanks

OK, when I render like this at 6Mps it is still shutting down my computer.

The core temp says I’m running at about 92 degrees c

Is that too hot?

How would I know if my power supply is not powerful enough?

Is 600 watts enough?

I have a quad core Phenom and a Nvidia GTS450.

I see that but I am not using DVD Architect.

I am not rendering before I burn the DVD.

I am using Tools> Burn Disc > DVD with a .MTS file. It automatically renders it to MPEG-2 while it burns. But there is no way to set the bit-rate.

A 3 minute video takes up about a third of a DVD. That means I could probably get 12 minutes max on it.

I thought you could get two hours on a DVD.

“Click the Custom button next to the Template box, customize it, give it a name and save it as a preset”

I don’t see that in my Vegas.

I’m clicking > tools > burn disc > DVD

It lets me choose video format and burn speed only.

Thanks John,

If I want to keep my audio at 44.1khz for YouTube then the only template I see that lets me stay at 44.1khz is the Main Concept Mp4 template. It seems to automatically detect my video as 1440X1080 with a pixel aspect ratio of 1.3333 as a custom frame size.

In another thread you said

<“They recommend MainConcept AVC for Apple iPod type of renders. They recommend Sony AVC for AVCHD, Blu-ray, and Internet video.”>

Can I use the MainConcept template for YouTube since it allows me the 44.1khz sample rate and you said YouTube is at 44.1khz?

[William Van]

“I don’t like the idea of sample rate converting audio…”

Why not? I’ve done this numerous times and never had any problems whatsoever.
———————————————————————
Well, it can cause audible artifacts if not done properly especially if its done more than once on the same file. I use R8brain Pro if I need to do it.

If my master audio track is 44.1khz and then I render at 48khz and then YouTube converts it back to 44.1khz then no tellin what it might sound like.

So if YouTube has a default sample rate then I want to upload my video at that sample rate.

[William Van]

Whenever I check project properties the default is 44.1 at 16 bit even after matching media properties

Mike Kujbida says Match Media Properties only effects video.

I had been rendering videos before I noticed this so it seems to work either way but I’ll set it to 48khz now.

[William Van]

[Mike Kujbida] “Correct.
AC-3 files are not a supported audio import format for Vegas.”

Why? AC-3 is pretty much the standard for AVCHD I believe so I don’t understand why Vegas wouldn’t support it.

When I import the video files it loads the audio from the camera as AC-3. I tried rendering just the AC-3 audio part to an mp3 and importing it back into Vegas but it was even longer than the original mp3 and the AC-3 file. But if I render the video to Mp4 it stays the same length as the .MTS file.

I work with audio (WAV and mp3 files) all day long in Sonar and have never had a problem with audio files of the same song source being different lengths.

Maybe I need to get Plural Eyes?

Does this work?

[William Van]

I’ve tried everything and still can’t get it to work.

If I sync it at the start of the song then the end is out, if I sync it at the end then the start is out.

Again, I have no problem syncing all the tracks that were recorded with the camera.

But I can’t get the imported 44.1 mp3 to sync. Apparently they are different lengths. I’m going to have to experiment with sample rate converting.

[William Van]

Thanks, Yeah, I didn’t have the Num Lock key on.

Now it’s working but when I press the 1 or the 3 it nudges the track way too much. The 4 and the 6 nudges a little less but I need it to nudge just a teeny, tiny, little bit, like individual samples.

I’m trying to sync a music track to a video of myself playing all the instruments in the song. The music is pre-recorded so I’m just miming each performance along with the playback.

I have a splitter cable coming out of my mp3 player with one side going into the camera and the other side I use for monitoring thru my stereo.

I can line up all the camera audio tracks really well by zooming in on the waves in Sony Vegas. They are close enough that when I play them back I hear no phasing issues.

But when I import the “original” mp3 file that I intend to use for the master audio it looks slightly different than the waves recorded by the camera so I’m having a hard time aligning it tight enough with the final video.

If one wave is slightly ahead or behind the other then they phase or sound like a flanger. I need to be able to nudge the master audio track ever so slightly forward and backward until I get it as close as I can with as little phasing or flanging as possible then I will know it is synced with the others. I plan on muting all the camera tracks when rendering so only the original master is playing.

At first I thought that because my camera records audio ACC at 48khz and the master file that I’m importing into Vegas is an mp3 at 44.1khz that might have something to do with it but they both play back together at the same pitch and tempo so I don’t think that has anything to do with it.

How do y’all sync a music performance with pre-recorded audio?

Thanks
