You probably have the scene detection enabled. Open up the capture utility, go under Options, preferences, then under the capture tab, and uncheck the first one on the list "Enable DV Scene Detection" Hit OK and that should capture everything as one big long clip.

Load the clip on the timeline and then go under Tools, Burn CD and select Video CD and that should burn it for you.

Thanks for the response,

Do I need to compress to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 before burning or is this done automatically. My file size for the DV is about 10Gig.

Thanks again.

VCD use mpeg-1.The reason you get the file split is 4gig limit in fat32 when capture in avi format. In mpeg2 will capture one file or convert to ntfs file format.

Wowser, if you are capturing to a separate capture drive make it NTFS format (XP).
For VCD use mpeg-1 compression by rendering that from Vegas. Don't know what you are usinfg to burn you VCD's with? Don't you have a DVD burner? You will get a much better product with mpeg-2. 10 gig sounds like an uncompressed or raw AVI file which is way too big to be directly burned to a DVD as a DVD video. Vegas 4.0d will not burn you VCD or DVD directly. You must use another burning software like Nero or Ulead DVD Movie Factory to burn the disk.

Vegas WILL burn the VCD or MPEG 2 directly, or you can deliver in Windows Media, Quicktime, or REAL format, including a player/installer.
Visit the Tools>burn multimedia disk option.

I like the file, but would recommend a HARDER music pop/intro just before the main vid, this lessens the harsh incoming audio, and creates a 3-5 frame audio build prepping the ear for what's there. If anything, the audio is a little too wimpy. A bit more bottom, and get your hands on a stereo widener such as the WAVES or Cakewalk tool, it will sound more powerful if widened. Sounds like a typical stock library audio track, so beef it with some EQ and widener, IMO. It would also leave more room for your voiceover, if you spread the track wider and left the voice dead center.
Your stream could definitely use some work, but the creativity, layout, etc are all very nicely done. Nice concept, and very cool editing. While I recognized most of the shots in there, it still felt fresh and inspired.
Hope it sells a million gigs for you.

Thanks for all of the replies. I'm running windows xp with the NTFS file system so i shouldn't be hitting a filesize limit. One of the clips was actually 5.9gig. I think if I deselect the option provided in an earlier post I can get around this. I played around some more and was able to burn a VCD with Vegas 4.0. Looks like Vegas automatically compresses using mpeg1 when you select to burn to VCD.

Next step is to buy a DVD burner to get better quality. Thanks for all of the quick replies. It has helped me alot.
