  • Advice on encoding with 1280X720

    Lately I have been using Xvid but have found whether it is interlacing or what it sometimes leaves lots of lines if you need example here:

    Converted in same size using Xvid

    Original raw video roughly in same place

    I have googled a lot about this and people are raving about this H.264 and myself using vegas as my main video editing suite would like to know how exactly to use vegas to do this. Now I have saw many people ask this and I do have the main concept but when I converted the quality was just terrible.

    What I am asking is what is my best bet for making the smallest size file but with the best quality Xvid? Mp4? or what. I am working with high definition video here and want the best but also not ridiculously massive files.

    Thanks David

    If you want to make nice looking MP4 files in Vegas at 1280×720 try this:

    Use the Sony AVC render type and start with the Memory Stick SD NTSC widescreen – 2128 Kbps template. Then press the Custom… button and make these changes on the Video tab:

    Video Format: AVC
    Frame size: (Custom frame size)
    Width: 1280
    Height: 720
    Field order: None (progressive)

    That should give you pretty good quality for a Bit rate of only 2K. You can take the bit rate up or down from there to find the right balance of file size vs quality.
