  • Are rendering options policed

    To what extent if at all does the Vegas program police your rendering options? For instance if you rendered out a standard DVD it appears that Vegas wants you to use the separate audio & video streams.

    Yet it appears that if you select the video options you are still offered the opportunity to customize the preset. If you choose to customize so that quality was best,you have 2 pass encoding, make the file progressive & include the audio would you still have a file that DVDA can create a compliant DVD?

    Thanks in advance

    Vegas does not police rendering options at all.
    It expects you to be knowledgeable enough to know what options are and aren’t acceptable for the format being rendered to.
    In the example you used above, DVDA would re-encode it as that’s a non-compliant file.
    DVDA wants to see separate interlaced mpeg-2 and ac-3 or wav files.
    Progressive is allowed only if it’s 24p.
    Other authoring programs may let you get away with it but not DVDA.

    Can any,some, or all DVD players play a 24P file?

    If so where is it found?

    If I go to to project properties I can see a couple of references to 25P. But when I go to the render tab I see no 24p options on offer.

    The reason that I thought these options might be policed is because you sometimes find some options preyed out.

    Thanks in advance
