Rendering Blu-Ray Project to Standard DVD…
Hello,
I have just upgraded from Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 to 11.0. With 9.0, I have rendered and burned several Blu-Ray projects to Standard DVDs as 1920×1080 HD isos that played fine on a Blu-Ray player. My bitrate was only 10Mbps and the quality was very good.
I was able to “fool” Sony Vegas as well as DVD Architect into thinking it was burning onto a Blu-Ray disc even though it was a standard DVD. Now, it seems, both programs complain if there’s not an actual Blu-Ray in there. Is there any way around this? I found a work-around in that I can burn it to an ISO image and then use something like ImgBurn to burn the ISO file but I wonder why I can’t do it in Vegas or DVDA anymore?

I just tried this last month after remembering a Sony Webinar Q&A session mention you could do this. I could not find a way to do this without the workaround you mentioned. I find ImgBurn more useful, so I’m not sure I would consider this a workaround as opposed to a better workflow.

Try using the “Legacy” disk drivers. Options, Preferences, CD Settings tab, check the “use Legacy” drivers. Worth a try. This has fixed a lot of odd burning problems for me in the past. It will force Vegas to bypass the Vegas drivers and use the ones that are mapped to the Windows system.

Sony did indeed drop supporting AVCHD disc burning directly. This happened in later builds of Vegas software in the latter half of 2011.

I agree with Mark Barton, the ImgBurn or similar workaround is useful since I for one seldom burn with DVD A anyway.

Interesting … I’m happily burning lots of DVDs and BluRay with Sony DVD Architect 5.2 build 133. It is my preferred method of authoring disks. I have not installed the latest Build 135 (nervous).
I render my SVP 11 projects using the MainConcept codec for video only (creates a .mpg), then separate Dolby pro render (creates a .ac3, then bring those into DVDA.
Am I missing something? Did you mean that SVP 11 no longer can burn directly? That seems crazy, the menu options are still there …

Stephen,
Vegas software does burn directly still of course. In my previous post I’m referring to cases, where you want to burn BD quality to a DVD.
Here’s one of the threads discussing that problem.
