Are there know problems (known to everyone but me) relating to the processing of mpeg-2 projects that contain large(-ish) numbers of clips.
Trying to simply product a DVD compilation of JVC camera clips, converted by someone else to MPEG-2 (albeit 1920x108050i). I have had the same trouble with straight 720/576 SD mpeg-2 -- to many clips and it's belly up.
When I get to 40 or so clips I get crashes out of Vegas 8. Version 7 is better but i still have to tread very lightly.
I stumbled upon a thread where "blink" mentioned a tool to allow for a settings change such that you could access > 2Gb of RAM. Is this the only solution (running 32bit XP)?
I love Vegas, but what should have been a trivial job has been killing me.
Would transcoding to something like MXF be better?
All advice welcome.
Thanks,
