I want to put a lot of clips (that have already been edited and rendered) together and print to tape and I would like to know what is the limit on the time line to send back at one time?
Thanks Tink

I don't think Vegas imposes a limit. Probably the only limit you'll face is the length of tape you're recording on. I've successfully done over 4.5 hours in a single print-to-tape operation. Of course, this was to VHS running at EP, not to DV, but the principle is the same.

Since I always make an archive copy back to my camera using DV tape and then burn a DVD here's what I do:

If you have ample hard drive space another way is to 'print to tape' using the AVI file type and DV NTSC. Once rendered, open the media pool, find the file you just made, open, feed to camera through firewire. Then close down Vegas. Start a new project, open the AVI file you just made, render to MPEG-2 DV NTSC. It renders about 8 times faster than leaving the original source files.
