  Using SV Pro 8 – AVCHD to PAL DVD

  Posted by Craig Cooper on May 27, 2008 at 8:42 am

  Hi All,

  What is the best procedure in Sony Vegas Pro 8 to convert HD AVCHD footage to DVD PAL?

  I have tried rendering to AVI YUV which looks great but then looks blocky when cut to DVD.

  Do I start a project with PAL(720×576) and import AVCHD or start project in HD then import AVCHD then render to HD, then render to PAL DVD?

  Please suggest which template I should use as I have tried many and am not happy with the rendered output.

  Cheers Craig

  I find it best to keep your project in the same format that you will deliver in. This ensures that there are no surprises especially when matching aspect ratios. So I would start with a PAL DV Widescreen project and then add your AVCHD files to that and render using the DVD Architect PAL Widescreen video stream template and a corresponding AC3 template (Stereo or 5.1) for audio.
