Vegas Video discussions from 2005 (Q3Q4)

You can create sub-clips from the timeline as well. I was thinking that if trimming worked on the timeline, use it to trim it down and create your sub-clips. Then proceed with the rest of your process.

Thanks, Edward I'll give these a try. I can also just copy the VCD as it is. Presumably it would play just fine on our friends new DVD player as it does on ours. I just thought I'd try and give them some content for their new player in the format for which it was designed. Thanks, again.

[Emre Safak]

VCD is MPEG-1. Just rename the DAT files in the MPEGAV folder to MPG and try again...

Hopefully someone can help . Thank-you.

I have SP2 and have no problem with the HDR-HC1. Be sure to uncheck the box on the capture prefs regarding the use of the internal capture app. Then you should be able to see the camera and capture away. ph

Will give it a try.......Thanks Ed

Thanks Emre, I'll give it a try. I appreciate you and Edward taking the time. Hope I can reciprocate in some way soon. All the best.

I am aware that the copy protection feature in Vegas is only good for the master DVD. Unless we r going for stamping/mass prod, the protection doesnt work. I would like to know how r u guys protecting your contents? I know that DeCSS software r easily available but it will help to discourage folks at least..

[Edward Troxel]

Offer them at a good price with attractive packaging and get the amount of money you want to make up-front (i.e. either an upfront fee or a minimum order that must be met). After that, don't worry about it.

[Sean Seah]

Yeah..i guess thaz the best way out.Doesnt look like content protection works..

[Peter Jefferson]

and with apps like dvd decryptor and dvdshrink, theres no point...

Hmh... I have a 30 min video I need to render (for tomorrow!)... I put it last night to render and in the morning I saw an error. "The file being rendered has exceeded the maximum size allowed for the selected format". Rendering stopped.

I am rendering it on NTFS drive (that already contains 10-20gb AVIs )... first time I tried to render with mainconcept codec, and second time with regular dv codec... no luck. it stops with error message at 2 gb filesize.

what's wrong??!!

[Edward Troxel]

On each drive, how much space is available?
Are all drives NTFS?
Where is the temporary files folder? Look in both Options - Preferences and File - Properties and change the file locations off the "C" drive.

[Neboysha Nenadich]

all drivers are NTFS... there's space everywhere...
and I found where the problem was.

I turned off "Create an OpenDML" rendering option for avi. (I always render with this option turned off, hmh, I think...this is the 1st time I had this problem)
I turned that option ON, and it's working now...

[Edward Troxel]

By default, that option is turned on. Glad to hear you found the problem.
