Burning bluray
Hi everyone,
I’m just looking for some views on the best way to render in vegas 9, and then burn in dvda. So, I film in 1080i 25 fps, when I render out in Vegas using the template it renders in vbr, but bluray in dvda in cbr only and defults to 18000. So dvda has to re render. What are people out there using as a bitrate, and render settings etc.
Regards

You should only use the “Blu-ray” templates in Vegas when burning to Blu-ray disc. If you are shooting AVCHD use one of the Blu-ray templates in the Sony AVC encoder, if you are shooting HDV use one of the Blu-ray templates under the MainConcept MPEG2 encoder. This way DVD Architect will not need to re-encode them.

Hi John,
Yes when i render in Vegas, just 3 templates have the = symbol next to them. One is a HDV template (which outputs in HDV not MPEG2) and the other 2 are bluray templates 25mbs and 8mbs…. so if i choose the 25mps bluray template the default settings within that template are VBR 30.000/25.000/18.000…that’s fine…. then when i go to burn in DVDA the default bit rate for bluray is 18000 constant (that’s what it looks like to me)…does this not mean a re-render at DVDA?

Just for clarity, HDV is MPEG2. The very same MPEG2 codec used on DVD’s except at a higher resolution and 25Mbps bit-rate.

Nope. DVD Architect will not re-render a the Blu-ray compliant streams coming from Vegas Pro. It just takes them and uses them as-is. That’s the advantage of rendering in Vegas Pro where you have more control.

So as I film in HDV, would this be a better template to select than a bluray one?

The MPEG2 templates that start with “Bluray” in the name are the ones I would use if you are shooting HDV.
