Hi,
I can’t seem to get this to work. If I render as a DVD architect PAL windscreen video stream then DVDA accepts the file and will create a DVD. The trouble is that you don’t get multi channel options when you render to this type of Mpg. You get stereo, join stereo and mono. No 5.1
I read that a few on here render to uncompressed AVI’s then import into DVDA and create the DVD that way. I found a couple of problems doing this. 1st is that DVDA will not accept multi channel AVI’s. I can import a stereo AVI, but not a 6 ch AVI that I think must be required to make a 5.1ch DVD. The second problem is that the AVI’s are so big that they can’t be written to a single file. I rendered a 2.20 min video to uncompressed AVI and it was 27Gb. When I looked at the file it was in many parts and the largest part was only 3.99Gb. Is there any way of making the AVI all one file, or is there a maximum size of 3.99Gb for an AVI file. I also tried rendering to a CanHQ AVI, which DVDA will accept, but again anything more than a stereo AVI is not accepted by DVDA.
So how do you make a 5.1ch DVD with Vegas 9 and DVDA. My project settings in Vegas are set to 5.1 and I can see and use all 6 channels on the timeline. I’m thinking that maybe only stereo channels are needed for the audio and then the playback decoder in the AV amplifier decodes the 5.1 from 2 channels.
And which way is best to create a DVD in DVDA. I found that rendering a DVD architect PAL windscreen video stream from Vegas into DVDA produces bad looking DVDs. Larger 1980 x 1080 files with less compression and letting DVDA sort it all out looks better. Any input on the best formats for putting into DVDA for the best looking DVD’s.
