My NLE is Sony Vegas Pro 9c. I have the same loss of quality when I am rendering to PAL (I live in the Netherlands) SD widescreen. Taking video footage in SD is no option for me. I didn't by a new HD camera to shoot in SD. But when you want to share your video with your friends, you will mostly have to burn it on a DVD. What I do is render the project to a *.wmv format. Then it is still HD. I import the *.wmv file in DVD Architect (comes with VEGAS) and burn it on a DVD. Before the burning of the DVD starts, DVD Architect will render the file again to PAL SD Widescreen format. The quality of that DVD is as it should be, but it takes a long time rendering. So if anyone knows a shorter method?  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hd-quality-goes-down#post-52373 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 04:49:57 +0000 birdcat 52373@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I record in HD all the time and render out to SD most of the time - My NLE (Sony Vegas) does a superb job of downconverting to SD and what I view on my DVD player looks great.</p> <p>I do convert the MTS files to M2T using VASST/New Blue FX's AVCHD Upshift first so maybe that is an option for you.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hd-quality-goes-down#post-52364 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:49:42 +0000 geraldprost 52364@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>You are going from HD to SD. The encoding process is trashing your video. If you are publishing to DVD, switch your camera to wide screen SD. This way the camera does the downsizing. The encoder doesn't have to compress as hard so your results will look better. I know it sound odd but unless you are publishing to blue ray, it makes no sense to shoot HD. You're still getting the value of the HD. I had to do a test myself before I would believe it. I took some video in HD then burned it to DVD. Then I took some the same footage in SD footage and burned it to DVD. The SD footage looks better. Until we get better encoders this is what we are up against.

But i can't edit this footage with adobe premiere pro cs3 or pinnacle studio 11 because i need to save it as an mpeg2 file first. But when i save it as a mepg2 file the quality is rubbish compared to what it looked like on the hd writer software. Plus it only gives me the option on the software to save it as a mpeg2 file.</p> <p>Im getting really annoyed because the picture quality is fantastic when it is on the camcorder and the hd writer but when i edit it after ive saved it as a mpeg2 file(which is the only option on the hd writer), the quality is quite frankly crap. </p> <p>Just wondering how i can get the footage off of my hd camera and edit it in the best possible quality, i want it to look like the footage on the camera, is this possible?!Do you have to save the footage in a different file format and how do you do this. Im just getting in to filming and am a bit thick on things like this as you can probably tell. please speek terms i can understand, cheers</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/vegas-pro-8-error-saving-file-cant-find-solution#post-36936 Wed, 28 May 2008 10:46:58 +0000 JoeCubicle 36936@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>John,    Thanks for the reply. I tried holding shift and starting Vegas, no luck! I've reinstalled Vegas a couple of times already (before I posted). AND... I've tried restoring to a restore point (2 different points before the AVG thing) and both failed.</p> <p>One thing I found in a post somewhere was a different Vegas error: the post said to: Start - Run - 'sfc /scannow'  then: Start - Run - 'chkdsk /r'.  And the guy posted back that everything worked! I tried this but came to a point to where it asked me to insert my CD that I used to install SP2. I didn't have one so I might try making one and trying again and inserting the disc. Basically it's making sure that all the System files are in place and correct.</p> <p>OR... I might just reload the whole system. My laptop came with Vista and I put XP on it anyway and have all the drivers I need, so I know I can get there.</p> <p>Hit me back if you come up with anything else. I post back with any miracles I might find.</p> <p>Joe C.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/vegas-pro-8-error-saving-file-cant-find-solution#post-36928 Wed, 28 May 2008 08:01:17 +0000 Johnboy 36928@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>hmmmm.... interesting problem, i would first try a "reset" of vegas by holding the shift key while starting vegas.  that will restore everything to it's defaults......  second thing i would try is to reinstall vegas to fix any files that have been corrupted, third thing i would try is a system restore to before you upgraded avg to 8 and see if you still have problems.</p> <p>Good Luck</p> <p>John</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/vegas-pro-8-error-saving-file-cant-find-solution#post-36924 Wed, 28 May 2008 06:36:13 +0000 JoeCubicle 36924@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hey all,</p> <p>I started a new project in Vegas 8 the other day, I wanted to get my clips in and save off the project to edit for later. I threw in the clips, waited for all the audio to load and went for the save. I received the following error: </p> <p>Error - " An error occurred while saving the project file MemorialDay.veg. The file could not be created. "</p> <p>I've messed with folder permissions in file explorer. The folder alway has a green square in the 'Read only' box (not a check, just a green square) I clear the green square and save for this folder and all below and still I get the error.</p> <p>I did one time get the project to save by naming the project something else and while in the 'Save As' dialog box, right mouse clicked the folder I was saving in and did the 'Read Only' box clear and continued. It did save the project and and when double clicked in file explorer brought up Vegas and the project.</p> <p>But...</p> <p>When I made a modification to the project and tried to save it gave me the same error as above. AND... when I closed everything and went back in using file explorer the project was renamed to PROJECT.veg.bku. I tried the same thing over again and that time I went back in the project was GONE! Not renamed, but gone.</p> <p>I CAN'T HAVE THIS !!! I need to get some editing done.</p> <p>Last week I upgraded my AVG Free virus application to Ver 8 from 7.5 like I was told to do and it made my laptop run 'funny'. Everything took forever and some things just wouldn't load, but they showed as running in Task Manager! WEIRD! I looked at Avira's virus and it has some good reviews so I uninstalled AVG and am now using Avira's Antivir. That's when I brought up Vegas to get some work done. And now I'm not getting anything done except typing out my probelms.</p> <p>One note: In the past I would be editing and go to save and get this error. I would try again a few seconds later and it would save. I never thought much of it. Now it will not save a project at all.</p> <p>Has anyone encountered this?</p> <p>Is it something to do with the File I/O manager of Vegas?</p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p> <p>Joe C.</p>
