Hey all,
just wondering if anyone had some suggestions regarding Vegas 4 and AVI rendering. I'm just trying to shorten some home video here and burn it to discs for family. I live in Colorado, so it's alot of pans (mountains, aspens, etc). I'm rendering everything in .avi for now, since i understand it's the highest quality format. However, when i play this video back on my laptop using windows media player, the pans blur so much as to make me dizzy. These aren't fast pans either...

As i understand it, motion blur is OFF unless i turned it on, and seeing as how i don't know how to do that, we'll assume i havn't. :)
Is what i'm seeing normal? Is it because of the laptop (LCD) screen? Is it because some of my settings are off???
I'm not trying to do anything fancy, jst accuratly repersent what i see on my DV tape. This blur on pans has got to go!
THanks for any and all suggestins.
matt

First of all, I'd print it back to tape and watch it on TV and see how that works. Concevably, if you're not slowing anything down or adding any effects, an .avi render should look no different than the original, except for any enhancements you add.

Playing .avi on a laptop LCD screen in Media Player is probably not the best environment to judge the quality.
