Re: Rendering AC-3 Audio for DVD Architect

Hi Howard........hmmmmm, seems like an odd problem. Don't you have a setting called Default Template in the Template slot of the AC-3 Render window, using the down arrow? If not I'm thinking something must have happened to your Vegas install. Also are you using Vegas 6.0, because I don't see any mention of "with Studio AGC on"? Also your Custom button shouldn't be ghosted, another reason why I think you'll have to re-install Vegas. As far as the file names go, maybe they are too long? Not sure of that, perhaps someone else could confirm or deny that? Could be the underscore mark, as well, I don't know. But what I would do first is re-install Vegas, make sure you have the Default Template back in AC-3 Render, and save it as Europe.AC-3 or 2006.AC-3, shorten the name up. On the screen, in DVDA, you can call in any name you want on the DVD. Instead of re-rendering your MPEG2 file, I'd re-name that to Europe.mpg. The only thing that is important, is that the .AC-3 and .MPG files have the same name and are rendered to the same folder. In this way you can rule out the long name and/or underscore mark theory. But personally I'm thinking a re-install will solve your problem. Best of luck, let us know how it goes.
