Producing Video got to around 80 percent and lost it??

[flyfisherman]

it is fairly long over one DVD and I am using a trial version, would that cause this? Trying to make a dry fly trout fishing vid here in Central Pa. How do you make a movie that needs more than one DVD? Just did the same darned thing when trying to make a DVD. Some of the clips were made with a mini DV camera (tape) and some with my hard drive camera, would that cause the problem?

I will try!! Comp is HP M7457C,Intel (R) Pentium (R)D CPU 3.00Ghz Speed 3000MHz,Win XP Pro Ser Pack 2 2.00GB Memory 280 Hard Drive, Video Card NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE, right now my comp is rendering the vid at 70 percent, I do have other vid editors on my hard drive, in addition I have a seperate USB DVD recorder and a seperate USB hard drive running! I have Roxio 9, a Cyberlink editor that came with my JVC HD camera, Picassa and another vid editing program. Great to talk to a local guy, the Phillys are doing much better than the Pirates. There is nothing fancy about the vid, just clips from my HD camera and my tape camera, and a few titles, that's it, just trying to combine the clips into one or two DVDs for safekeeping and future use! Working with Ulead Studio 11? That I downloaded trial version about a week ago. OK Render completed preview came up I skipped that I am short 6.16/4.30GB? I want to make the DVD on two disks get message to fit or to change? How do I make the two DVDs?? Thanks in advance

Read the following about Project Settings. It explains how to reduce the bitrate to fit more onto a disc.

And BTW, the Phils aren't doing so hot right now!

Thanks for the info: Will take a while to read all that! A quick question, why can't I make the vid into two DVDs if I want? I deleted some stuff and all went well, vid came out fine! I am seriously considering buying Ulead, Cyberlink drives me nuts, keeps losing my stuff.

You can. You'll just have to split your projects into two separate ones. I just thought you wanted it all on one.

One major problem with your plan, though, is the differing sources of your video. Some comes from a mini DV camera. I am assuming that you captured it in its native DV format. But even if you captured it as mpeg-2, one of its properties would be that it uses a field order of Lower Field First (LFF). The rest of your video came from what you describe as a HD camera. Unfortunately these days, HD seems to be used interchangeably for both Hard Disc standard definition cameras (more accurately HDD) and High Definition cameras (correctly called HD). No matter in the present circumstances since all of the HDD and HD cameras of which I am aware, and certainly JVC ones, use a field order of Upper Field First (UFF).

And I am afraid a basic rule of video editing is that you cannot mix LFF and UFF together in the one project. If you do, then one or the other type will display badly, with jagged edges and choppy motion, particularly in action shots... You would thus have to edit the videos from each camera separately and convert them into separate new videos which would be burned separately on a single DVD....

As for your size problems, if you are inserting DV files into the burning module, you need to be aware that, all other factors being equal, DV is over 3 times the size of mpeg-2. So one hour of DV will run to about 13 GB, but one hour of high quality mpeg-2 (8000 kbps and LPCM audio) will only run to around 4.3 GB or less. So that factor needs to be worked into your calculations.

If you still need to break your project in two (quite apart from keeping LFF and UFF source video separate), then you simply find a logical spot around 4.3 GB long or less (NOT more) and cut the video at that point, and make each half a separate project which can be burned to separate discs.

Thanks again gotta go my Schnauzer (he is black) wants to play ball, gotta go. Nice forum here, I think I will buy the full version, I don't need Bluray or any of that latest stuff, which version of Studio should I buy, is there a suite?

Well you are talking to the converted here (as I am already into high def video) and I have VS11.5+. But I can assure you, you might not feel you want the fancier bells and whistles right now, but you will soon see the advantages of things like the extra timelines. And these only come in the VS11+ version, i.e. the one with PLUS in its title. And if you then find you are entering the world of high def, Blu-Ray etc, you can upgrade for free to VS11.5+ which gives you extra high def functionality.

Thanks a bunch the HD means a JVC hard drive camera, love that darned thing, works great, but the Cyberlink editing software is crappy, the Cyberlink for Everio works fine loads from the camera no problems can make DVDs no problem, but that's about it. their editing software Power Director has more bugs than an ant hill. Gonna ago study the stuff you recommend, THANKS AGAIN

I will check out VS+ Thanks again
