Hi. I have video where I want to switch out the audio track for a hi-res version and burn to blu-ray so I can have the hi-res audio. I am playing around with MS17 Platinum. How does one maintain the 24/96 track when rendering? I can't find info on this. Thanks.
Of the three 24/96 encoders that are legal for BluRay, only PCM Wave is available in Vegas as a rendering option. You need to check your Vegas version to make sure 24/96 is there, and is supported in your BluRay authoring software.
Thanks for your response and sorry for the delay in writing back.
The file is 24/96 PCM. What do you mean by "your Vegas version"? Movie Studio 17.0 Platinum, Build 204.
The hi-res is maintained in Architecture but not MS17 Platinum. It gets rendered to 16/48 in MS17 Platinum.
It won't if you use the DVDA BluRay video templates, which by design do not contain audio.
Then you render your audio to 24/96 PCM with the same file name.
Import the video stream into Architect, and if named correctly, the audio stream will follow.
This will also avoid stream re-encoding when authoring your disc.
Hopefully my last question: what do you mean by "if named correctly"? It's ok if you point me to nomenclature guidance if that is easier.
Named correctly means exactly named (other than the suffix) as your video stream.

When importing a video into DVD Architect 7 you should have an .AVC file in a blu ray template (no audio) and then an audio file in either .W64 (Sony Wave PCM), .WAV (uncompressed) or .AC3 (compressed dolby audio [I'd suggest using WAV and letting DVDA re-encode to a maximum of 256Kb/s of dolby audio in DVDA, since Vegas is limited to 192Kb/s]).
About the naming, have both your audio and video files in the same directory but the names should be the same except for the file extension. For example:
C:\Test\My_Movie.AVC
C:\Test\My_Movie.W64
When you drag the video file into DVD Architect it will detect the audio and automatically import it to be your video file's audio. If it doesn't, double click on your video in DVDA and, in the timeline at the bottom, right click the audio part of the timeline and "set audio" and select your audio file.
