  Shooting/rendering HD to DVD

  Posted by Bob Mark on June 14, 2010 at 4:12 pm

  I’m just wondering what settings you folks are using to get decent quality DVD renders from HD footage. I have been hearing the best way to go is shoot 720 30p or 60p (less aliasing) and set the Vegas project settings to DV widescreen progressive scan. Then render out to mpeg2. Can you folks share your work flow on this? Thanks.

  … I shoot 30 (or 60) progressive, and I always render to DVD mpeg2 DVD architect NTSC widescreen template with progressive and best quality settings… if you have the time, try 2 pass encoding option…..

  very good results on DVD so far….

  good luck

  Ok. Do you have your Vegas editing settings on DVD widescreen or the native HD settings?

  You can work with an HD project-timeline, but for producing DVDs, render settings HAS to be DVD widescreen… as I said, I always choose DVD arch. NTSC widescreen and check for BEST and PROGRESSIVE options on the custom settings (remember I shoot progressive…)….

  good luck
