    I made an mpeg 2 from vegas 8. The project was 1 hour and twenty minutes long, it took vegas 8 2 hours to make me this mpeg.

    Why is it that only using a simple menu, architect wants to take 8 hours to author this?

    What bitrate did you use to encode it?
    My calculator says either a CBR of 7,136,000 or a VBR of 7,848,000 / 7,136,000 / 3,568,000.
    If you give DVDA a file that’s not the proper size, it’ll re-encode everything to fit properly.
    Also, make sure that your DVDA project properties match your source video.
    That is, if you encoded a 4:3 video, make sure DVDA wasn’t set to 16:9 and vice-versa.

    when you say encode do you mean what I encoded it to in vegas 8? I encoded it there to hdv 1440×1080 with rendering set to best. Should I not be using that template in vegas or something. The file size is like 16 gig mt2 mpeg. I just dont understand why it has to re render and for so much longer when I already have it mpeged out of vegas

    Are you trying to make a DVD or a Blu-ray disc? If you rendered to HDV I assume you want to author a Blu-ray disc. In that case, did you use the Blu-ray rendering templates provided in Vegas. If no, then that’s the problem.

    First of all thank you for spending time on this for me I appreciate it.
    I realize that rendering from vegas to HD isnt the fastest way to eventually author and burn an sd dvd, but I loke to save my files as hdv in case i want to burn a blu ray at a later date.
    What I dont understand is why nero can author this hdv file to a sd dvd in 3 hrs 49 mins, but architect is taking 8 plus hours.

    There is no point whatsoever in giving a dvd package an HD image. It has to all the math again, and the quality will not be as good (you are re-clocking the audio and video). Sony takes longer because its using top-end broadcast algorithms. Rendering to DVD spec will save all this time.

    That’s fine, then render an HDV file and save it in your archives and then render an SD DVD file for DVD. What you are doing is rendering twice which means less quality. You loose quality going to HDV and then again taking the HDV to SD DVD. Render an SD DVD MPEG2 file right from Vegas and feed that to DVD Architect and it will create the DVD in only the time it takes to copy the file to a shiny disc.
