USED DV AVI Template - Looks incomplete when viewed in WM or Quicktime

Jay J wrote on 11/16/2002, 11:04 AM

I edited an AVI, and then render to a AVI using the NTSC DV (32 mins of Video and Audio). When I play the new render version in Windows Media Player or Quicktime, it only displays 4:42 secs of Video/Audio. When I drop the avi file back into Vegas it shows all of the video. I figure I have some setting wrong, yet I haven't been able to figure it out.

I am not sure we understand what you are saying. Can you describe what is incomplete?

If the file is larger than 2 gig then Quicktime will not play all of it. I do not know quite what you are saying.

The rendered Video is approx 7GB. The original is approx 7GB.

I recorded the Video via my Sony DCR-TRV27, Adaptec FireWire Card, and VV3.0c. Sonic Foundry Codec (no 3rd party and no Microsoft codecs in options).

The original will display the full 32min in Windows media player and play the entire file. The original will only display and play 4:42 in Quicktime.

The rendered version, rendered using the default DV NTSC video only displays 4:42 min/sec and only plays what is displayed, in both quicktime and windows media player. I hope this helps. Thanks for the reply. Jay

You reached the length limit in QT.

Thanks K,
yet this doesnt' explain why the original which was recorded in Vegas displays the full 30+min, yet once rendered it will only display the 4:40 min/sec. I thought Vegas used the same coded while recording as it does when it renders. Any SF help?

In Options => Preferences... => General, make sure that "Strictly conform to AVI2 specification" is not checked (unchecked is the default).

See this link and this one for further info.

Hope this helps.

K-
Perfect! This resolved the issue within WM. So if I understand the Sonic Foundry DV codec does NOT strictly conform to the AVI2 specification during the recording processes.
