AVCHD footage with sony HDR1 SR1E, vegas 7 wont burn DVD for me

[jonyfoz]

Hello all,

Please can someone advise a "noob". I am using Vegas 7 and am trying to burn a DVD with footage captured in AVCHD. Keep getting the following error message

The estimated file size is too large for the CDR. Try changing your render settings or a larger capacity CDR disc.

have played with the render settings but so far to no avail.

would be happy to convert footage from HD to SD, if poss after i have edited my footage in vegas?

I am using a SD DVD to burn onto. Do I heed a HD/Blueray disc?

Please help a noob, thanks for you time and for reading my post

What render settings are you using? How many minutes are you trying to store on the dvd? Lower the video bitrate and you can store more minutes /dvd.

And are you making a standard dvd-video in vegas?
And are you sure you are using dvds....it says cdr...but it could be a wrong error message from vegas though.

hey Baldrick,

thanks for your reply.

render settings... I tried MainConcept AVC/AAC (mp4)

templete.... Default Templete

desription...Audio: 128 Kbps, 48,000 Hz, AAC.
Video: 512 Kbps, 29.970 fps, 320x240

the footage is a little over 6 mins. (not that big?)

yep using a blank DVD to burn onto in vegas. I am clicking on TOOLS/BURN CD/MULTIMEDIA CD is that the correct procedure to burn a DVD? or should I be in a supporting programe?

thanks once again for help/and advice
