XP has all you need. No special drivers, nada. Just install an AGP and PCI card, hopefully of the same model to avoid two driversets, or get a duallie head like the Matrox tools, and you're good to go.

Shane Schmidt · August 17th, 2004, 03:37 PM

OK, for some reason I cannot seem to figure this out.
I have a 5:26 short that needs to play over & over on DVD. My client is taking this to a hunting trade show and wants to be able to put it in the DVD player & have it loop for about 55 or so minutes.

Can DVDA2 do this? Do I have to do the loop in V5?

I know most DVD players will loop a single movie but I do not want to confuse my client by teaching him how to do that.

Thanks in advance!

Shane Schmidt · August 17th, 2004, 04:03 PM

I see that on page 104 of the DVDA2 manual it says that I can set an end action to the media file that will link to another media file. I am assuming that I can loop my DVD in this way.

Does anyone know how I can set it for a specific time or should I just do the math?

And hey, is it me or is V5 a tad buggier that V4? I have all kinds of bizarre things happen to me in V5 like text clips not showing on the preview when it is obviously there.

Thanks again.

Shane

Ryan Gohlinghorst · August 17th, 2004, 04:25 PM

Using the end action for the clip you want to loop, set it to link to itself. Once you start it, it should continue to loop indefinitely.

Shane Schmidt · August 17th, 2004, 08:39 PM

That did the trick, I just set the clip as the intro media & linked it to itself with an end action.

Thanks again.

I'm fairly new with Vegas 5 and have applied the "Glow" effect to an entire video track.

I want to remove the effect from all the clips that it's applied to. I must have had all the video clips selected on the track, and applied the effect to one(all).

Anyhow, I can't click on the individual clips and remove the effect for it doesnt show the effect applied but I can clearly see the effect on the video in the preview window.

I would imagine it's an easy fix. Like I said, I'm new with Vegas... go easy on me :)

Thanks!

Check the effects button on the video track header(little green box on the left of the video track timeline

Nate Cannon · August 18th, 2004, 03:12 PM

Bill... Thanks for the quick reply!

I will try that when I get home from work... If that does it, I will delete the post.

Vegas has been pretty overwhelming for me. I've been using Pinnacle's Studio software for about 4 years but it was time to move on to bigger and better! And it surely is!

Thanks again!

Trey Perrone · August 18th, 2004, 03:51 PM

two problems i have with my Vegas5

1. when rendering mpeg2 files...if i choose two pass (VBR) it hangs when it gets to 50% and starts its second pass

2.when selecting "normalize" on an audio clip it mutes the entire clip.

ANyone else run into anything like this??

I just reinstalled the OS (xppro) not even a month ago.

tried the repair option for Veg5, nogo. tried uninstall of Veg5 and DVDarch2...still nogo.

Randall Campbell · August 18th, 2004, 07:37 PM
