Re: DVDA wants to recompress HD video
 

The WD media player is very popular. You should start a thread, would be interesting, I don't know of any other media player, but of course there are probably many out there.

Re: DVDA wants to recompress HD video
 

VLC is a popular open source cross-platform multimedia player.
VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!

but more importantly to me, THX to Jeff/Ron/etc...

i had problems a while back trying to create a 1280x720 23.976 BD that didn't recompress in DVD-A or just BSOD... finally gave up, figured i'd wait til next version; then read this topic, so went back, tried again.

built a menu-driven BD with 30+ video's and playlist, transcoded/burned/tested in two hours. SWEET

thanks again, it's good to have that off the things-to-do list

Jeff,

I spent some time last night trying to accomplish what you were trying to do and did accomp;ish much. Before I sat down today I checked this thread out and how nice to see that it has been worked out!!

I was trying to build a preset from scratch and was not successful, did not occur to me to start with the already given preset and just change it about!!

Yes, ron derserves the good guy of the year award!!

I am going to go give his fix a try right now.


I use VLC media player a lot.

Dale, I might be mistaken, but I suspect Richard was asking about hardware for playing HD content.

On the original thing, I find it unfathomable that Vegas doesn't have a 720 60p preset effective for rendering DVDA compliant footage.

Re: DVDA wants to recompress HD video
 

Jeff,

I misunderstood the player thing obviously.

I just built the 720 preset, rendered a short piece and it works fine!!

How hard would that have been to put in place, especially sence it is compliant!!! AND, why does square pixel not work??? That borders on retarded.

Sometimes sony really ticks me off!!! Like my edius avi wont play in 10 but will in 8.

However I am so fond of the work flow I can't bring myself to let go of it and always find myself using Vegas.

Curiously, are you shooting in native 60P? which camera are you using for that??

Re: DVDA wants to recompress HD video
 

I'm using the GH2, and three GH1s for weddings, and I'm shooting in 720 60p. If the cameras had 1080 60p, I would use it, but they don't.

720p is ideal for me anyway. It converts from the Vegas timeline perfectly for SD, and I can simply render which ever format I want, 16:9 widescreen or HD for Blu-ray.

If I want to convert the footage in HD link to SD for a client, I use the 1280x720p avi preset, and it converts quickly because there is no resizing involved. A whole wedding converts in less than an hour or two.

The raw footage works well on the timeline, and it's a bit tough with four cameras, but I'm going back to a 4 disc Raid 0 setup this weekend to deal with that.

Dale , Edius HQ will work fine in Vegas 10, 32 bit if you are using Edius 5.5 or if you are using Edius V6 then HQ should /will work in Vegas 10, 32 or 64 bit version. I do all my video editing in Edius and just use Vegas for audio editing and preparing for Bluray.
