Canon 70D HD video
I have a Canon 70D and it creates a 1920X1080 30 frame rate file….It is pretty sharp and good color .MOV file. What is the best way to render it so the average user can play back the file at or near the original quality. I am not really concerned with file size as I am usually using small clips.
I am using Movie studio HD platinum 11.

Some thing else to add….The file out of the camera is 55 seconds and 583 MB the highest HD after rendering is 99MB.

I would use either the Sony AVC or MainConcept AVC encoders with the “Internet 1080-30p” template. That should give you a file that the “average” user can watch and still have high quality.
(note: the template name may be different in Movie Studio but I’m sure you’ll figure it out) 😉

What I want exactly is to be able to edit the .mov file that comes out of the camera at close to 600MB for 55 seconds and not lose 1/6 of the quality in rendering. I can see a clear reduction of quality in the rendering file at all HD levels compared to the original. Right now I am just trying to play it locally on my computer.
Even making a blu ray disk puts the output file at around 130MB. -
I figured it out. I have been using VLC to play videos for years and it is defaulted on my computer. I used windows media and ACdsee and they both played the rendered file at full HD, very clear.

Yea, VLC uses it’s own codecs and sometimes that’s a good thing but sometimes it’s not. Glad you figured it out.

Ok but back to my original question. The original file is 600mb for one minute of video. The highest quality I can do in rendering is 110mb. That is roughly a 1/6 drop in quality. Is there any way either in Vegas or some other program that I can get the same size and quality out of the file that I have put together as the original.

Why are you limited to 110MB/sec? Perhaps it’s a limitation of Movie Studio 11?
With Vegas Pro 12.0 I can render to MainConcept AVC with bit rates up to 240Mbps. 600MB/sec is 80Mbps so use a bit rate of 80Mbps (i.e., 80,000,000) to get a 600MB/s file.
The calculation is pretty simple. You divide 600MB per second by 60 seconds to get 10 Megabytes per second. But bit rates in Vegas are specified as mega bits per second not mega bytes. Since there are 8 bits in one byte you have to multiply 10 megabytes by 8 to get 80 megabits (80Mbps).

Looks like the highest I can do in movie studio 11 is 25 mbps.
Don’t know if I want to spend $600 to get that little extra quality. -
Is there any way to custom add that rendering at 80 mbps to my version?
Since the most I can render at 25 mbps. -
[Paul Robbins] “Is there any way to custom add that rendering at 80 mbps to my version?”
I don’t know. That’s one of the differences between Movie Studio and Vegas Pro. Vegas Pro allows you to customize the render templates more for professional workflows that require higher bit rates.
Also Sony keeps swapping back and forth between Sony AVC and MainConcept AVC for their “Internet” templates with each version. I don’t know which one Movie Studio 11 prefers. Whatever one you tried, try the other and see if you can create a custom template with a higher bit rate.
Having said all this I don’t understand why you need it. Your source is your acquisition format and your project is your delivery format and no one delivers 80Mbps video so I see no need for this high a bit rate.
