Making a CD from a .veg

Randy Brown wrote on 12/16/2003, 3:35 PM

Hi all,
Well, tis the season and my wife once again talked me into shooting her students piano recital (for free). Last time I wound up saving all of the individual edited events into separate .WAVs and importing them back into Vegas to create a CD also. Is there not a way to just create a CD from the .veg?
TIA,
Randy

I think there are scripts for rendering regions into separate files...probably need to hit the Scripting forum for this one...

Randy, are you talking about making an audio CD? This is extremely easy. Place the cursor at the beginning of the first track and press N to create a CD track marker. Advance to the start of the next track and press N again ... repeat until all tracks are marked. Then go to Tools / Burn CD / Burn Disc-At-Once Audio CD. That's all there is to it.* It doesn't matter what video tracks you may have on the timeline; this operation ignores them.

*ps. well, make sure there's a blank CD in the drive first, of course. ;)

Thanks Kelly,
Making the CD track markers is what I could not find anywhere(other than right-clicking a .wav in the media pool and selecting "add as CD track")...even though my post didn't describe it well, that was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks again buddy,
Randy

ARRRRRRRGGH!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, Kelly's reccomendation for adding the tracks worked great but it just won't actually burn separate tracks. I have what should be 33 CD tracks but it only burns one long one. As I recall when you add a track from the media pool by right-clicking and selecting "add as CD track" V4 automatically puts a 2 second gap between events. After getting only one track on my first try, I inserted a 2 second gap between all events (tracks) but have the same results. Suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Did you press "N" at the location for the start of EVERY CD track? You should have pressed "N" 33 times to get 33 tracks.

I've created several audio CDs using this method:

1) Add audio tracks to the timeline
2) Press "N" at the beginning of each audio track
3) Tools - Burn CD - Disc at once Audio CD

The only difference for me is that the tracks (cropped AVIs with fades on the end of the audio and 2 seconds between each cropped AVI) were already there from the MPEG2 project I had created to burn to DVD. I'm also just using "track-at-once" but I wouldn't think that would make any difference.
Thanks again Edward,
Randy

I believe the only difference between "track at once" and "disc at once" is the automatic 2 second gap.

Actually, I think there are other differences (redbook) but I'd agree it's not relevant in this situation.
Thanks again Edward,
Randy
EDIT: I stand corrected, just for the heck of it, I tried "disk at once" and it worked perfectly....thanks guys!
