Vegas 6 Render problem

[Shifty268]

Hey there need help.
Someone i know is trying to make a video with vegas quite along video. He is trying to render about 3 hours of footage into one big dv video. He drags all the clips onto timeline and joins them together. The problem starts here; when he renders them to PAL DV it renders them into 5 clips. He is wondering how to make one big clip. I went to his house and tryed looking in settings but i have know idea how to fix it!!!!

Can someone please help!

make sure he has a ntfs formated drive for one thing

Ok i see, couldn;t get hold of him.
If he hasn't got a NTFS formated drive is this the problem. If so can you get around it anyway? or does he have to reformat his hard drive to NTFS.

He doesn't have to format his drive - windows XP comes with a tool to convert Fat32 to NTFS. Beware though - this is a one time deal and there is no going back to FAT32 without a reformat/reinstall. NTFS is more efficient, handles larger files and disks than FAT32, has better security options, and is more robust. FAT32 is dead - dance on it's grave.

Will this fix the problem?

How do you get into the tool?
