VMSP 8 - Audio re-rendered?

Bob Denny wrote on 11/28/2007, 7:55 PM

If I produce a file in VMS for NTSC DVD I am forced to use the settings for video and audio. Once I am in DVDAS I can select AC3 for better compression, but then it has to re-encode the audio which takes time.

If I can make DVDs with AC3 anyway, why did they brain-damage the [Configure] button in VMS so you can't set it there? (I've seen a friend use Vegas Pro and configure the MPEG/Audio)...

VMS8P lets you export in mpeg2 without audio and in AC3, so when you get to DVDA you don't have to recompress.

Huh? Do you mean render the video and audio files in 2 separate operations then put them into DVDA separately and get them back into sync there?

Bob, have VMS render to AVI not MPEG. You won't have to worry about the audio issue. Bring the AVI file into DVDAS and let it take care of the MPEG/VOB encoding to DVD.
