Can I make this type of MPEG-2 in Vegas 6.0?
So I’m doing my first spot for Broadcast and the media distributor is asking for a specific type of MPEG-2 to upload to their facility. I’m creating most of it in AE, then I’ll bring an uncompressed AVI into Vegas 6 to make the MPEG-2. Can I encode this with Vegas, or do I need a more specialized application? Here are the specs:
Encoding – MPEG-2
Min – 10 Mb/s
Max – 25 Mb/s
Preferred – 25 Mb/sScanning – 480 60i (upper field first)
Pixel Aspect Ratio – 0.9
Aspect Ratio – 4×3
Chroma – Min – 4:2:0 (MP@ML) (720×480)
Chroma – Preferred – 4:2:2 (422P@ML) (720×512)GOP – All Allowed, IBBP preferred
Frames per second – 29.97 (NTSC)
Stream Type – Program Stream
Audio-MPEG-1, Layer 2 – 384kb/s Stereo
Audio-Dolby AC3 – NA
AVG Digital Audio Level – -17dBfs
AVG Analog Audio Level – +4dBm
Luminance Level Max – 100 IRE
Chroma Level Max – 120 IRE
Setup level – 7.5 IRE
Timecode – Non Dropped Frame
Also, how would I QC this type of file?
Thank you so much in advance,

You should be able to me these specs using Vegas though you won’t be able to hit 25Mbps (the max bitrate is 15Mbps which is still within your spec).

Thanks. Now is the 15Mbps limit, is that a Vegas limit or a limit of the format? Also, any recommendation on checking this file to see if it looks good on TV? I don’t have a specialized video card (like Decklink), just firewire, and a dual head Matrox.
Thanks for the help,
