I have shot a video using my Sony HDR SR11 camcorder. The captured video is close to 1Hr 45mts.
I imported the video to my computer using the supplied Handycam utility. The files were stored as a number of .m2ts files.
I then imported all these files into Vegas and then edited the video by introducing audio (music and Voice) and a few text slides. I then rendered the video in Sony AVC format using the AVCHD 1920X1080 NTSC template. My intention is to load back the edited Video onto my camcorder using the Picture motion browser and play it on my HD TV.(This was the recommended procedure from Sony). While rendering the video, Vegas crashes after different time intervals. The maximum video footage that I was able to render is around 15minutes. I am able to view and upload the partially rendered Video. I also went through Sony customer support knowledge base and as per one suggestion, I tried breaking the footage to smaller timed footages, saving each as a separate projects and then rendering them separately, opening a new project and importing these rendered videos and stitching all of them together. The rendered videos were saved as .M2TS files and when I imported these in the project media of a new project, I found these were shown as .m2ts files and not as .M2TS and when I started rendering, it started rendering all over again at which time I thought it was useless as I knew the tool will again crash if it has to rerender the entire footage.
My computer details are as follows:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz CPU
Operating system: XP
Memory 4Gb DDR2
Internal Hard disc: 400Gb. 4 partitions. C drive 100Gb.
I use a 500Gb external USB hard disc for storing the captured Video as well as for saving the edited Video.
Is what I am doing something unusual? Is there a limitation to the length of the video one can render? Is loading back the edited HD video on to the camcorder to view on a HDTV not common? In the absence of a blueray burner, how does one view the edited HD video on a HDTV?
