Having used Vegas since V4 and Architect as well and since I have been using HD for over 2 years I was eagerly looking forward to V5 of Architect to burn Blu Ray DVD's with menus. Up till now I have been using Cyberlink Power Producer which is great and reliable if a little slow. Obviously I was looking forward to the menu features of V5 from Sony.
Just to lay the ground work I use everything Sony; Sony FX1 cams, Sony Tape, Sony Vaio Full HD Laptop, other Sony HD Cams even Sony Blu Ray discs. I cannot be more compatible so where is this leading? (BTW Win Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 versions)
Well after reading the manual for any 'fixes' I have to look out for. So I get cracking and all goes well but on preview I see that the menu video I did has been shortened and will not loop. Odd that. I re-rendered it to make it 30 seconds which it had been shortended to and saw that it had another 15 seconds lopped off it and still no loop. Back to the original length and check the other videos in preview and all worked fine so burnt it to a 50 gig disc (which are very expensive). After it was burn found that every video had been shortened by half even though the space that would have been left on the disc was 13 gigabytes. This was wasting a 50 gig disc.
I checked all the settings, emailed Sony (no reply) so I am no nearer why this happened but until this rubbish is sorted I will be using Power Producer V5 or Ulead's BD Disc recorder 2.7 which work and are reliable. Come on Sony get your act together please.
