Change screen size for HD Window Media files…
Is it possible to change the size of the screen for WMV files when rendering in HD? I would like to maintain the quality of HD but have a window of about half the current size when Windows Media Player opens my HD clips. I’d like to upload these clips to my website and have them open in a more reasonable (smaller) 16:9 size.
Thanks

Not sure I get what you mean here, but HD (with a 1.0 PAR) is 1920 or 1280 wide. If you want full HD quality, this is going to be the size of your windows media player.
For my website I render to 640×360, half the width and height of the smaller of the typical HD formats. Obviously, when I drop the resolution, the quality (total) is lower than in full HD.
Experiment with the various sizes, you can render to any size with most of the codecs, and find out what you think is the best compromise between resolution, frame rate, bit rate etc.

I just realized that the samples that I saw on Apple’s website (HD Movies Trailers) were in 480P. I really liked this size for the web but I don’t see any way to create this with Vegas.

No problem using 480p. Render using the MainConcept AVC codec (if you want H.264), chose the resolution you want and the PAR you want. Essentially, if you are rendering HD, you should go for 640×480 PAR 1.3333 or 852×480 PAR 1.0000 (I think it is).

Thanks for the info regarding Quicktime…
Is it also possible to render to a smaller size in Windows Media while still keeping the clarity of HD?
