  1. Hi, I'm using trial version of Vegas 5.0 with multicam. I sync'd two streams, split by markers, added new video track and dropped sections from original streams to create my final edited track. Then I rendered to avi, and went to bed. THe file filled my 100GB partition and errored. Yet, when I opened it, it ran only 5 minutes of video!

    My two original inputs were transferred via Firewire and were about an hour so less than 12 GB each. How could I end up with such a huge file?

    thanks!

  2. D1 Uncompressed RGB output os only about 112 GB/hr. Not sure if you can trust a file that errored out during creation.

  3. 1st, sorry about the 2nd post. I was not even at my desk at that time (hmmm).

    So, in the format I saved it (default uncompressed), its expected to get that large a file size. I assume it just oversamples?

    I rendered again in NTSC DV avi and entire project of just under 1 hour was about 11.5GB.

    thanks

  4. Uncompressed RGB is about 10 times larger than DV. Uncompressed RGB is 3 bytes per pixel. DV first reduces that to 1.5 bytes per pixel (YUV 4:1:1 colorspace) and then compresses it by another 5 fold or so.
