Submission Info

I just bought QT Pro, and still nothing. frakin' a this is driving me nuts! Does it have to be QT? Or can I submit a .wmv or avi?

Aaron, I tried downloading that program too, and no luck with that either. I'm thinking I just don't have something install right on my music machine and that's why its screwing up and my 'work' machine doesn't have the HD space. What a pain in the arse.

Anyone recommend another audio codec besides the AAC?

anyone want to hand feed me? and I thought I was technology savvy.

The AVI file is 9 gigs. :) I'm even having issues exporting a mpg2. what a hassle. I'm gonna try out SQueeze.. see if that does the trick. maybe just leave the water mark in there for the time being.

When I export a demuxed MPEG-2 from Vegas Video I get a .AC3 (audio file) and a .MPG (video file)...Jarred mentioned it should be .AC3 and .M2V. Is .MPG and .M2V the same thing? If I just change the file extension and upload will it be what he needs? Or am I rendering to the wrong format?


Yes, this question means I am doing the final render to upload!!! HOORAY! Precious sleep is just around the corner!

Happy Belated B-Day, J-DAWG! :thumbsup:
 
bingo! Thanks to Puffin' man, i'm well on my way!
*gota go change shirts from all the sweating bullets*

I NEED HELP!!!! I rendered the DVD version no problem, but I'm having trouble with the H.264 version.

I am using Vegas 5, so I rendered to an 24p Widescreen AVI file, then opened that in Quicktime 7 Pro and exported to a 480x320 mp4. What I got was only 12MB (that's cool), but it was 4:3, not 16:9.

My film was shot with the animorphic and edited in Vegas on a 24p Widescreen template.

HELP!! WHAT DO I DO? How do I get the correct MP4?

Larry, I think you can type in a custom width. eg. 1.0 squared, .9 dv, 1.22 widescreen or whatever. You might have to type in a custom one to match. Also get your dimensions correct. It would be more like 480x270 or something.

Jack Daniel Stanley could probably help you out better. He's one savvy dude.

If you have a file that's the right data size and 4:3 squeezed, then you can go into the Quicktime menu...

"Windows"
"Show movie properties"
the pop up menu select
"visual settings"
deselect "maintain aspect ratio"
and change 480 X 320 to 480 X 270
and save
done
:)
 
Thanks...apparently my AVI was not at the right dimensions 'cause it is playing 4:3 also. I'm re-doing the uncompressed AVI from Vegas, this time I told it to render it as 480X270, 1.212, 24p, uncompressed. Then I will open it in Quicktime 7 Pro and see if it is 16:9 like it is supposed to be. :fingers-crossed-smilie:

I sure wish I could figure all this compression stuff out....oh well, wish me luck :)


Edited to add: That seems to have worked, sort of. I think I was correct originally with the 480x320. WHen I rendered the 490x270 I got a widescreen file, but it was pillarboxed. I am re-doing it as 480x320 (I got that number by going into Photoshop, creating a 720x480 image with the pixel size set to 1.212 . . . then I changed the image size, leaving the maintain aspect ratio option selected, and changed the 720 to 480. The other number changed to 320).

Anyway, I am re-rendering the uncompressed at that size...then I will open it in QT7 Pro and try to save it as a .mp4. I have to "export" from QT7 Pro to get the h.264, correct?

Great, like I haven't had enough trouble trying to figure out how to render out what you currently want...now you are going to throw another format at me :)



Just kidding, sounds cool with me!
