Yes, but that wouldn't work for tape, only for BDs.

I have one more question. I have another project that was shot in 60i with A1 and I am mixing 5D files. I followed the method to convert everything to upper field first and I have the same crashing problem. Should I use lower field first? Progressive? I have a lot to learn about this stuff. I appreciate your help.

If your output is going to be interlaced, keep it interlaced, upper field first. If it keeps crashing, maybe you would want to update to Vegas 9 (try the trial), and if that crashes too, research to find another editor that doesn't give you the same headaches.

Thought I was out of the woods but not quite, so I upgraded to Vegas 9.0a. All I get is out of memory errors!!!!!*&%^$#(#
I have 4gb of memory.

Wait a few days until 9.0b is released. In the meantime, revert back to 9.0.

ooh that sounds good. Thanks Edward.

Just loaded up 9b same problems. My love for Vegas has soured. I can render my projects in version 8 or 9.

Anthony,

I'm no techie, but your workflow seems pretty messed up. You're rendering back to tape to use as a master file? I tried that once a long time ago, never again, it seemed like a good idea at the time though. If you render out at 1440x1080 .avi (cineform) you will have a big file of high quality, that should be far better than going back to 720 tape. Then you can then resize (using VirtualDub) to 720x480 for SD-DVD.
