Rendering Not Matching What I see in Timeline/Monitor
Thanks John, I think I understand now. Just to confirm that this is what I would do. 1. Split the video after the bad frame. 2. Place the cursor on the frame before the defect 3. Set that frame to velocity = 0 Done? Hopefully the video won’t be too jerky!

John and Jetdv, I appreciate this discussion but confess that I am lost with the recent exchange! Would one of you kindly explain how a velocity envelope would be used to solve the issue? Thank you!

Rendering Not Matching What I see in Timeline/Monitor
The mystery grows deeper! I cut out the two bad frames and inserted 2 frames of jpg. Most of the time it works, but sometimes I still get a line! If I place the jpg on top and make it 3 frames long, where the extra frame is one frame before the first split, the line is gone. All I can think of is there must be some "deficiency" about the way Vegas is displaying individual frames.

Rendering Not Matching What I see in Timeline/Monitor
The noise/lines are clearly visible in the source video! They have nothing to do with my edits. My edits are an attempt to eliminate the noise. I can try adjusting the default length of the still when adding it to the time line. The way I've been doing it is to move the cursor to the first frame that shows the defect, then add the corrected jpg, advance the cursor 2 frames, make a cut at that point and delete everything following the cut. Playing the timeline there is no evidence of the vertical line...

Rendering Not Matching What I see in Timeline/Monitor
Hello John, Your help is much appreciated. Perhaps I misunderstood DMT3 and ran the experiment incorrectly. I simply placed the corrected jpgs on the same video track that contained the errors. You used the word "replace" which I think means I should cut out the bad 2 frames and insert the corrected jpg. Is that correct? I have corrected the pixel dimensions in properties. This has not changed the render in any way. I notice in the image you posted that it indicates still images 5 sec/150 frames at 29.97. Could this be the issue? The project frame rate is double that. Is the render possibly "seeing" the jpg still image at the wrong frame rate? That might explain why I sometimes need 4 frames to eliminate a 2 frame error????

DMT3, Thanks for your idea. Unfortunately this makes no difference whatsoever to the render. I play the timeline and all the noise I fixed is gone 100%. I render the video and the noise is still there in almost every single edit point. But, now the noise is reduced from 2 frames to one frame. Nothing has changed by adjusting project settings or Quantize changes as mentioned above.

My bad! The video and jpgs are 856x480. I have corrected that. I'm not sure where the extra 2 pix entered the scene. My options for Quantize/Snap were set correctly. I have modified unquantized Events to "TRUE" in preferences. Attached is a screen of ruler settings. Is this correct? Thanks!!

Hi Roger, I can confirm that Mediainfo confirms the source footage to match exactly the project settings. I don't understand what "quantized" means re frames. Thanks for your comment! P

Rendering Not Matching What I see in Timeline/Monitor
Hi John, Hopefully this helps? The lines are from a DVD that I converted to 59 fps using Topaz Video AI. The lines were I believe were added to give the appearance of an old film. I'm trying to get rid of them. They come and go randomly lasting two frames. I've upped some screens. When the jpeg is placed over the two frames the line is gone. After rendering the line may or may not appear on a single frame but never over two frames. Odd! If I stretch the jpg to cover 3/4 frames the error goes away. Sometimes 3 frames works if I cover the frame before the error. Sometimes I need to add an extra frame on both sides of the error. I can't discover any predictable pattern of why it works or doesn't work. Thanks for your help! P Not sure what notification settings you want me to change in my profile?

Eliminating an artifact in 2 frames?
Gid, thanks a lot for taking the time to make up that video! That is most impressive software for sure. In comparison, my problem is quite simple. Just some static random appearing lines in pairs of frames. Anyway, the issue is sorted now. Thanks again!!

Eliminating an artifact in 2 frames?
Musicvid, thanks! That fixed the problem. I also found that if I split the jpeg rather than drag it to size that also worked. Gid, thanks for the post. Would you please share a link to the plugins that you mention? I'm quite curious about them even if they are expensive. Thanks

How do I add .mkv videos to my blu-ray project?
I thought I might post on this old thread only because I was recently trying to open mkv files in Vegas and DVDA. Almost every Google search result says to recode the file which seems like a very poor choice (as mentioned in this thread). I was successful using a free tool : AviDemux. https://sourceforge.net/projects/avidemux/. The tool allows for direct copy of the audio/video into a wrapper of choice without encoding. It is very fast! I converted to AVI wrapper and the files opened straight away in Vegas. Renaming the AVI to AVC allowed the same file to open in DVDA. Another useful tool for extracting audio to ac3 (or wav) is TAudioConverter. It will extract the audio to a large number of formats and is very simple to use. It is not necessary to demux the audio from the video. Simply drop the multiplexed video file into the program, select the correct track, and convert to ac3. http://taudioconverter.sourceforge.net/ I've had more luck using this tool than Vegas. My ac3 files from Vegas won't open in DVDA.

1280x720 50p Render to Blu Ray?
Cornico, I followed the link you pointed me to and I was able to produce a 1280 x 720 50p m2v file that imports to DVDA and does not need further rendering. Many thanks for that! A render with Sony AVC gives no m2v, but avc. You followed NOT my suggestion. edit: I see what the confusion was. I mixed up the two suggestions/names. I corrected the post above! I'm sorry if there is any misunderstanding in what I wrote. I did generate an AVC file and eventually it did load into DVDA. It just took so long to load that I thought it wouldn't and initially gave up. So, your instructions are fine and thanks for that. For some reason though I cannot get the rendered ac3 file to open with the video. Now I have 2 templates that work fine for the video (MainConcept AVC and Sony m2v). Is there any advantage to using one over the other? Both appear to look pretty similar at default bitrate settings.

1280x720 50p Render to Blu Ray?
Thanks John, I tried again to add the Sony AVC file and got a long spinning cirle. This time I just waited and after 5-6 minutes it opened. (Is that normal to be so slow?) Also, another problem (of course) is that my rendered audio won't open or load. It has the .ac3 extension from the Vegas render. I have it named exactly the same as the video file differing only in the file extension. I cannot add it manually either. If I render to .w64 it does open. Is there a difference between Pro & Studio ac3? Thanks, Peter

1280x720 50p Render to Blu Ray?
vkmask & Cornico, Thanks very much for your help. Much appreciated! Cornico, I tried your suggestion and I ended up with a file that will not play in any stand alone player (like VLC) and will not even load back into Vegas or DVDA. I have no idea why this failed. I did try several times. I've attached a screen shot. Do you see a mistake? Vkmask, I followed the link you pointed me to and I was able to produce a 1280 x 720 50p m2v file that imports to DVDA and does not need further rendering. Many thanks for that! Peter

Thanks for both answers! diverG I will try your suggestion. Musicvid, the choices I see for BD are 1440x1080 and 1920x1080 and are either 24p, 50i, or 60i for Mainconcept. Would I chose 1440x1080 50i? Thanks!

CD Burning Problem
I made some progress by turning off all non-microsoft services. I can now burn a working CD but only using Disc at once if I want tracks to work at all. Unfortunately determing which service is causing the error will be difficult! Another crazy bug in this program is that selecting "test" destroys any CD placed in my drive even though nothing is supposed to be written to the CD. And it's not possible to even run test without a blank CD in the drive. I will destroy a CD testing every service to find the problem. For a program with this level of sophistication this manner of buggy software really is disappointing.

CD Burning Problem
I could still use some help with this problem as I gave up months ago and just used a different program. In fact that program is the original Vegas Video! It burns my CDs just fine. To answer the questions from the post above. It is an Audio CD, 44.1/16 bit stereo with track markers. The problem is exactly as I described in my first post. If I try disc at once and select test only I get the same result. The buffer fills to 99%, test burning tracks will sit at 0.00% with the CD burner spinning at high speed. If I cancel I get a warning that the disc is not finished. But waiting does not fix anything. Really appreciate some help if anybody has any idea. THANKS, Peter

Not Understanding Event FX....
Well not to beat a dead hors but..... it certainly looks like it's part of the effects chain! I don't think I can post a screen shot. However, when I load Pan/Crop first, followed by a video FX the FX shows up 2nd in the "chain" following Pan/Crop as seen in the window right above the word "Preset." Peter
