Hi-
Now have VMS9.0B and was previous user of VMS8.0d.
I never had problems in 8.0d like this (had building peaks error with M2t files in 8.0, which 9.0 fixed), but on a few videos I've put together now I render off (as xVid AVI, if that matters) and the resulting video may play fine for a while and then it hits a spot and just stops............. then maybe a few minutes later it will take off again at-the-right-spot as though it had never stopped/paused for all those minutes.
Another problem I've seen in 9.0b is that the video will render fine up until a scene split and then the very next frame will be from a place further back on the time-line and it will render on from there until the time-line ends -- but the ending point is the time-line time wherever that brought the video too. In other words, if I have a 3 hour video and the video at hour 2:00:00 jumps back to hour 1:00:00, the last frame of the rendered video will be that found at hour 2:00:00.
Another oddity is if I drop a video into the time-line, let the peaks build, then want to edit out (delete) the first few minutes of the video, which I do by splitting the video out at the frame I want and deleting the preceding portion and moving the video against the 0:00:00 mark. This will render the video... sometimes... in unpredictable ways.
This is all very weird and I just don't get what it is that is causing it.
In a previous edit I got around one of these when I zoomed in and found there was a frame dropout or something on the master tape sent to me by the video guy (he renders out a DV tape to me after doing some work on FCP on a Mac, so it wasn't in my capturing from tape) and I had to split the scene there and do some cut/splice/delete mess to have VMS go through this as if it was a new scene inserted there.
Maybe that's a clue -- I don't know. VMS8 would never do this. If the peaks built, I could edit/move/delete the clips adnauseam and whatever was on the timeline became my xVid avi.
Sorry for the long post, but at 8-10 hour renders to discover the video is bad, I finally figure to ask the experts (you're all experts, right?). : )
