best workflow to BD in Vegas Pro12
I try to obtain the most optimal workflow in creating a BD with Vegas Pro 12 and DVD Architect Pro 5.2 for showing on a HD TV.
Footage is with Sony A77 DSLR, File Format: AVCHD 60i/60p, Recording Setting: 24p 24M (FX)
In Vegas, my template in Project Properties: HD-1080-24p(1920×1080-23,976 fps)After editing, with Render AS, many choices come up.
1) Sony MXF – HD EX 1920×1080-24p seems to be the 1st choice. I don’t have any experience with MXF, is this really a preferred rendering?
2) Sony AVC/MVC – BluRay 1920×1080-24p, 16 Mbps. Since my footage is AVCHD, I tend to think this is better, however there is the limitation of max. 16 Mbps.
3) Main Concept MPEG-2 – BluRay 1920×1080-24p, 25 Mbps Video Stream
4) Main Concept MPEG-2 – DVD Architect 24p NTSC Widescreen Video Stream. Since I use DVD Architect, this might be an option?
5) Main Concept AVC/AAC – BluRay 1920×1080-24p 25 Mbps Video StreamI could do test rendering with all these settings, but maybe somebody already did and/or knows what the preferred options are.
Any help greatly appreciated!

I have used option 3 & 5, mostly 3. Option 1 will cause DVDA to re-render as this is not BDR, and option 4 is not HD, it is for 720×480 standard definition.

I did comment that I use #5, it’s not really different than #3, just a different codec. I thought you answered your own question with #2 as it is only 16Mbps, but it’s fine also, but why not just use #5 with the higher bitrate.
