I have VMS 9. I want to archive my AVCHD movies (and original clips/JPEGs) to an external hard drive.
What is best: to render on my computer's drive, then copy to the external? Or just render right onto the external?
Another question: As a test, I rendered a video clip (I named HD Test) via Main Concept AVC and the Default Template. It rendered fine (unlike when I tried rendering as Sony AVC - said "bit depth not supported").
But, the clip was automatically saved in TWO places though: as an MPG4 Movie in My Works/HD Test/Renders - which opens with Quicktime or VMS, and is 8.6MB in size;
AND also saved as a VMS Movie in My Works/HD Test - which opens with VMS or DVD Arch, and is 22.5kb in size.
Why was this saved in two places, and two diferent file sizes?
Which one should I keep, for archiving.......or do I have to keep both?
thanks - I'm a beginner as you probably can tell.......
