Sony Vegas HD 11 & Adobe Audition running on a Pentium III Compaq

Despite being far below its published minimum specifications, Sony Vegas had no trouble installing on my 1 GHz Pentium III Compaq Deskpro EN, and I was able to successfully use it to create and render a test video, with some patience. Adobe Audition 1.5 also worked perfectly with the Aureal Vortex sound card to record an hour-long radio show.

Lol! keygen.exe :-) Guess you didnt spend the mega millions to actually buy vegas; probably like most people!

@agoodm The keygen was for Adobe Audition, not Vegas. I'm still on the free trial with Vegas. It's the best PC based video editor I've tried so far, but my main annoyance is that it has no good option for producing standard definition widescreen (854x480) non-interlaced video. It doesn't look too bad when I upscale it to 720P HD, but to me that's just a waste of pixels when the video wasn't HD to begin with.

@vwestlife I ran into this but later found out how to do it correctly... (see some of my vids are upscaled cus I couldnt figure it out) When rendering your project choose render as... In the type I generally use the MainConcept AAC/AVC option then under profile choose default profile. This defaults the output dimensions to the size of my input video. Ensure to adjust the bitrates as they dont seem to be set adequately by default.

@agoodm At least in the free trial version of Vegas Movie Studio HD 11, there is no such thing. Under "Render As", I have to choose one of the presets it comes with; I can't modify a preset or create my own custom one. And if I want progressive (non-interlaced) widescreen output, under "Sony AVC/MVC" it gives me "Internet 640x360 30p" and "Internet 1280x720 30p", but there is nothing inbetween the two.

the motor noise seriously sounds like the VCR component started smoking at some point (like on my VHS camera), is that a problem with the audio head or the tape transport spinners?

[vwestlife]

@bakonfreek The TRV318 camcorder shows signs of heavy usage, so maybe the bearings are starting to get noisy, but otherwise it still records and plays video perfectly.

@vwestlife I tried to play 720P on my pentium III computer using the fastest pentium III ever : the tualatin 1.4ghz , with 1.5GB sdram  and I was unable to play HD videos perfectly , there's too much frame skipping ,along with the sound , and even more with a 512mb nvidia video card . so I have a doubt about what you say

[FilipinorenderHD]

me still using pentium 4 and can still render up to 1080HD :)

[agoodm]

@vwestlife In vegas pro 10 there is save as type and template. My video is 800x480 as it comes off my camera phone... In order to get the correct size video output I have to go to properties and select my custom project size then go to render as; choose type mainconcept avc/aac and choose template default. Then I can click on custom on the right where I can change bitrates, pass numbers, interlacing you name it.

A noisy camera.

Don't need a new computer to edit video. No doubt, I used to convert DVD rips to a VCD format using a Pentium II overclocked to 300Mhz. I believe it took about 4 x the length of the movie to complete.
