I'm pretty new to Vegas - so apologies in advance for my ignorance. I'm using Vegas Pro 13, and DVD Architect Pro 6.
Up until now I've been rendering using Main Concept MPEG-2 templates to produce videos for burning to Blu-ray in DVDA. For my setup rendering in MPEG-2 takes a quarter of the time or less than rendering in AVC. Hence my choice of render template. Using that I have been able to create Blu-rays along with the chapter markers created when editing in Vegas Pro.
However I recently found that rendering in AVC gave significantly better quality - particularly where there is a lot of motion in the video - so I switched over to that and bit the bullet on the long AVC render times.
I did a massive amount of work preparing seven individual videos and rendered them out for DVDA. Rendering time for all seven videos combined must have been somewhere up around 12 to 14 hours.
I imported them all into DVDA and was shocked to see that the project markers hadn't been imported. After a lot of experimenting I found that for some reason Main Concept AVC will not save a .sfl file even if I have the "save project markers..." option ticked. However the Sony AVC/MVC templates will.
I really don't want to have to go and render everything again in Sony AVC/MVC. Is there any way I can generate .sfl files for the videos I've rendered with Main Concept AVC? I did try to use the "Export Chapters" script, but that generates a .xml file and there doesn't seem to be any way of importing that into DVDA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'm sweating bullets thinking about another 12 to 14 hours of rendering.
TIA
