It was stationary and continually rolling.

Remember the Rolling Stones "Forty Flicks" DVD? There is a "select a Stone" feature where you can pick which camera angle you want to see at any point throughout the video.

Maybe I'm being a little too ambitious.

Can't say i'm familiar with anything Rolling Stones, sorry, but i can picture what you mean easily enough.

So you're saying the second camera with you was on the band the whole time too? And the video you're making is just the band video? I was working under the assumption that the second camera was mobile and you were ambling around grabbing shots of guests.

Both cameras were rolling continually. I had camera 1, the Canon Xl-1S. I was just going around getting the dancing, etc. Camera 2 was on a tripod focused exclusively on the band. At the time I just set it up that way for possible breakaway shots and shots to cover my "oops". In review, the camera 2 shot of the band is strong enough to stand up on it's own and I thought maybe I could offer that view as an option.

Metallicas' S&M was a similair idea. Genreally a 'normal' music dvd - but on 4 songs there are additional angles where you can choose any of the 4 members and stay with just them, or flick around between each as you want.

Why not do it?

Probably less familiar with Metallica than with Rolling Stones. ;)

But yes, as long as both cameras ran continuously, setting up a multi angle DVD should be a piece of cake.

You can have one track be the full length.
You then can place in the DVDA timeline individual clips on the second angle.
This will save space on the DVD as the angle is "multiplexed" only at the points
in time as needed.

When you select angle 2 and nothing is there it will play angle 1 (the lowest angle).

Go for it!

Bring all footage into one vegas project, create one audio mix for both angles if that is what you want, create one video track for the dancing, waltzing, chatting, etc. Create another video track for the band angle, sync the tracks up with the audio, then when you want to render the video for the waltzing dancing, etc. mute the video track of the band, then render, then mute the reverse to render the band track. Bring those rendered tracks into DVDA putting them onto different tracks to create the angles and voila!. but doing it this way assumes you want to use a continuous audio track for both angles, and make sure you have enough space on one DVD to put all that footage on it.

Great ideas. Thanks!

DVD DL's are coming down in price...except for the printable ones...60 bucks at Sam's Club for 100.

BTW, the band was a country/rock band. Very good.
