Re: Vegas > Architect Help Needed Please!

OK I've noticed something weird I'd like to ask about.

I synched my video and audio in Vegas, and rendered the video and audio seperately as instructed (thanks saltman!). When I drag my prerendered MPG onto the menu screen, it automatically imports my prerendered WAV file in also. Is this normal? Just to clarify, its an mpg-2, with NO sound. But somehow it also imports the WAV file, lined up and thus, perfectly synched! Not that this is a problem, but how does it know exactly which WAV file to bring in? I thought I would have to drag them in seperately...

One more question. I extracted my audio from a burned CD-R, thus it was a 44k WAV file. Does it make sense when I render the audio out of Vegas to go back to 48k? It seems like I would just leave it at 44k, but Im not sure.

Thanks!
Scott

Re: Vegas > Architect Help Needed Please!

If your prerendered .wav file and the .mpg file have the same name like... phish1998-11-02.mpg and phish1998-11-02.wav and you put in the one file it will automatically put them both in, if they are in the same folder.

The audio needs to be rendered to 48 to stay within the DVD spec. This can be done in Vegas or Architect in the final DVD preperation.

Re: Vegas > Architect Help Needed Please!

Ok, I see now, they are named the same, and in the same folder, so that makes sense! I rendered the audio at 48k out of Vegas, so I should be fine.

Thanks again Saltman, your instructions are so precise there should be a tutorial made from them!

Re: dvd architect 3 help

<if you click on play on the right side will be the highlite section. I use a text mask overlay so that when you click on play it turns colors... but doesn't have the rectangle selection box.>

Hey Saltman, or anyone else that could help, could you please elaborate a little more on how you do this? I have read a lot about masks in the manual but still cant quite figure this one out. I got rid of the rectangle, that was easy, but getting the text to change colors is giving me trouble...

Thanks again for all your help!

Re: dvd architect 3 help

The color sets are on the right side of the screen also, under the highlite section. You can change whatever color you want it to be there. Under the main window is the text color option. If you leave it white it will be white on the screen. If you change the color set to say red.... it will overlay a mask of red on top of the white. This will make it look kinda pinky when the item is selected. You will have to play with the colors to get what you want. That is my understanding of that. I haven't totaly used all the color set stuff before so I probably need to read up on that too.

Re: Authoring Questions

nero pretty much sucks for encoding...probly the cheapest program you'll be able to find that does a decent job would be TMPGEnc DVD Author...it goes up from there in price, but also in quality: Sony Vegas+DVD Prod Studio, Adobe Encore, etc...

Re: Authoring Questions

When I reauthor previously authored DVD's, I use DVD Decrypter to demux the audio and video, then drag the demuxed files straight into DVD Architect and add menus, chapters, etc from there. No recoding needed, and I've yet to have any sync problems using that method.

Resyncing audio to video???

I recently got in a DVD that was shot from the back of the Auditorium and the audio is behind the video by about a 1/2 of second! What is the easiest way to resync the audio? Is there anyway to do it in the VOB files or am I gonna have to demux? and if so what are the easiest programs to do this?

Thanks.....

Re: Resyncing audio to video???

the cheapest solution for windows os that i've heard about [program-wise] would be TMPGEnc for the re-sync/re-author [around 50 bucks i think]...then there's the pro software, like Sony's video suite, Adobe's, etc, but are much more money

i'm pretty sure DVD Decrypter can demux for you, but i'm not very familiar with PCs when it comes to video/audio

Re: sony vegas question...

You could try adding a Video Event FX for either HSL adjust and adjusting the Luminance, or Levels and adjusting the Gamma and see if that works for you.

Re: sony vegas question...

At the right edge of the video you are working on, there should be two icons. Click the bottom one that looks like this: . From the window that pops up, select either "HSL Adjust" or "Levels" and adjust the settings I mentioned in my previous post. I don't know if this will do exactly what you're wanting, but it's what I came up with off the top of my head.
