Adding Multiple Discs in the time line

Before I purchased Sony Vegas Movie Studio 4.0 I wrote sony asking this specific question. Can I add multiple discs to the time line and burn multiple discs to one 4.7 dvd disc. The reply I got was, yes, you can using this software, I have yet to figure this ou. The tutorials don't tell me how and when I try adding multipe discs to the timeline the program crashes.

Was I fed a line of bs or is this possible and if so plz tell me where I can find the tut or tell me what to do??



Best Regards,
Ralph

First of all, this is the Vegas forum - you *may* get a better response in the Movie Studio forum.

Second of all, what do you mean by "multiple discs"? You should be able to add whatever you want to the timeline (no matter WHERE it comes from) and then burn the total to DVD.

Thanks for answering my post, I am using Vegas Movie Studio 4.0.
I chose this forum because I thought it was correct, please excuse me if I posted in the wrong one this is my first time here.

What I mean by "multiple discs" is, multiple; more than one disc, two or three. My problem is after I make a 1.4gig disc with my sony handy cam then put the disc into my cdrom the software does not support importing from the cdrom nor does it support the file extension.

So, what I want to know is how do I import video from my handycam to Vegas movie studio? I should be able to pop the handy cam disc in my cdrom and import but it don’t work.

Ralph

Oh dear. The Vegas software (as far as we know in this forum) is VERY bad for you if what you want to do is edit from those DVD-based camcorders. Vegas is basically awful at editing MPEG files. It is great for editing other format - but not for MPEG format.

The Movie Studio forum is the best place for you to answer movie studio questions. But I can't imagine Movie studio is any better editing MPEG than Vegas is.

Vegas (and Movie Studio) will not perform as quickly when editing MPEG files, but neither will most other software (Pinnacle used to make a native MPEG editing program a few years back, but it was expensive). However, they WILL still edit the results, and as Ed (jetdv) says, anything you put on the timeline can ultimately be re-rendered out to tape, or back out to DVD, if that is what you choose.

are you sure John?

Can Vegas (or Moviestudio) directly edit the "results" from one of these DVD Camcorders? I thought you had to run them through some demuxing and other stuff like that berfore you could get them to the timeline. From the sounds of things this user is expecting (quite rightly if you ask me) that he can just drag+drop files from his Camcorder DVD onto the Vegas timeline.

There seem to have been quite a few posts in the forum about this very issue - and I think I recall the gist of things from before. It would be cool to know for sure.
