I just bought Vegas HD 11 and I want to find out how to burn to DVD after I drop the clips on the timeline. I did a party and the person want to edit the video themself. Thanks guys
Yes, DATA DVD. You can only put 4.38 GBs of clips on the 4.7 disc. (or less) If he can edit your footage, as is, that's all you gotta do. May take a few discs for lots of footage.
Drag & Drop into Nero, or what ever and burn DATA DVD.
Drag & Drop from disc, back to a computer to edit.
You could also loan or borrow a USB drive to do the transfer to your client. That would save burning lots of DVDs. (Thumb drives would not be suitable because of file length restrictions of the file system used.)
1) Start
2) All Programs
3) Accessories
4)Command Prompt
On the command prompt line type Convert D: /fs:ntfs
In this example D: is the drive my Thumb drive is identified as. Substitute your drive designator. Note that there is a space after Convert and a space following the D:
This converts the drive from the FAT32 system that most Thumb drives come with to the NTFS system, which allows for file sizes up to the capacity of the drive
Finally, and very importantly, the Convert command should not delete files already on the drive.
My TV and Network Player have USB ports. The TV may not work with NTFS (haven't tried), whereas with the Network Player I know it would be read only. No doubt other devices exist which do not fully support NTFS as well.
On the other hand, if you want an NTFS thumb drive to use with NTFS systems, there's no reason *not* to do it. Personally, i don't own even one device that couldn't use an NTFS thumb drive so there's no reason for me to worry about backward compatibility.
