This is my first project with Vegas. I have been using Premiere for years. So, I'm a new-B to Vegas and already have a LOT of questions. I'll post a host of video questions in another topic later. But for now I'm trying to make an audio CD from a video project and need some help...
My project is set up for 5.1 surround since it will be output to a DVD with DD5.1. But also making an audio CD. I've got 24bit 96khz audio tracks mixed for surround sound the way I want them for the DVD. I've also got one video track in the timeline with its corresponding stereo audio track muted (I do not want to use the camera's audio). I've got CD tracks marked in the timeline.
Questions:
1) What is the (easy) procedure given my current setup to mix down to stereo before making a CD? Will Vegas automatically mix down the 5.1 to 2-channel stereo for me as part of the CD rendering process? Or, do I have to change my project settings to stereo?
I have tried 3 times to do a disk at once CD burn with the above configuration and Vegas bombs each time. I am using a dual Xeon 2.8 system. The length of my audio tracks is about 33 minutes.
2) When I click burn disk at once, I get a waning stating: "Red Book Warning, Track 1 has a pause greater than 3 seconds." What does this mean?
3) I click write-cd (anyway) and the prerendering process starts. This takes about 13 minutes and uses 100% of both CPU's. It raises my CPU temperatures higher than I have ever seen before. After 13 minutes the progress meter gets to 100% and then Vegas either halts without an W XP error or bombs with a W XP error. Why does it bomb each time?
4) If I restart Vegas and try gain without powering down, after I click "write-cd (anyway)" as part of the red book warning dialog, I get the following error immediately: "this drive cannot write the current PQ list correctly" and it will not let me proceed. What does this indicate?
5) Will muted tracks be part of the render?
6) When Playing the timeline, why doesn't the <CNTRL> right-arrow go top the next marker? How can one easily advance to the next CD track while playing?
7) Will vegars (how to) write CD-Text onto an audio CD?
