  Sony vegas render (sry i know theres like a million of these)

  ok, im not well versed in how rendering works. but i figured that if the render settings were the same as the original file, it wouldn’t take long to render. I am however up scaling the video from 480 to 1080 luckily without any noticeable quality loss. so here is the info on the original.

  recorded gameplay with Virtualdub
  29fps 720×480
  Compresson: FFDShow encode mpeg4-mp4v one-pass quality quality= 100
  input image processing deinterlacing linear blending (ffdshow options)
  Audio PCM Uncompressed 4800Hz 16bit

  sony vegas pro 11 render settings.
  just using the avi render option with ffdshow instead of sonyYUV with the exact same settings as above
  but its 1920×1080 and i added a static text overlay, basically a watermark/logo and thats it.
  but it says 9+hrs to render.

  im trying to find a good quick way to keep the same image quality, but with at least 200-400MB for quick upload to youtube.

  for some reason, i cannot render with main concept avc, i always get the not enough memory error.
  WMV looks like crap. sonyavc doesn’t look right. and i dont want a 30min video going to 264GB again.

  most of my videos range from 2min to 15min and then on rare occasion 30min
  and even with 2min videos they still end up well over 700MB on most render settings.

  any way for a quick render and good compression? or at least quick render and a program that can compress with no quality loss?

  heck even another program like sony vegas that can render in HD?

  So many issues in that post.

  [dan wilson] “any way for a quick render and good compression? or at least quick render and a program that can compress with no quality loss?”

  First, there is no such thing as lossless compression. The very act of compressing the file means something is being thrown away.

  Second, file size is DIRECTLY related to the encoding bitrate. The higher the bitrate, the higher the quality, and the larger the file. If you want a smaller file, encode with a lower bitrate and accept the quality hit.
