Hi Guys - Me again !!

Can someone confirm if this is correct procedure for creating movie in Vegas.

I open new project
Drag my videos to timeline
Add Markers, text etc
Select all the project with l/r locators
goto Project
select Make Movie
Select movie details IE - save to harddrive, PAL, Default settings uncompressed

I then render the video which is just a test but its about 360mb and it takes about 1 hour to render that file on a pentium D 3ghz with 3gb RAM.

Does this sound like the correct procedure? and time scale?

I also then take the movie into DVd Architect
then the markers should show up in DVd Architect
i then highlight AVI File
right click
select "insert scene selection menu"
then give it page title and select the amount of links per page

If this is correct procedure great, but if it is its going to need about 50 hours in total just to render the AVI`s then i need to drop those into DVD Architect and do it for the the complete DVD which i presume is goingto take forever AND the test video i am doing at the moment only has 2 AVI`s in it yet the size is 1.6b which means 6 videos per DVD - SURELY THIS CANT BE CORRECT?

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

This is the way I would do it;

Open a new project
Import media file(s).
Edit clips.
Render as mpeg-2 (make sure you include audio stream and uncheck loop regions box).

Open Dvd Architect
Start adding mpegs until your disk is full.
Edit chapters.
Adjust menus.
Burn.

Otherwise, if I was really concerned about time, I'd convert them all to DivX, put them all on one disc and create a word document with the titles hyperlinked to each clip so they would open in Media Player and include the document on the disk.

Hi All,

Flickson - thanks for your tips i am trying them now, i will let you know how i get on.

Many thanks
