Encoding compression
I am rendering mpg2 1280 X 960 at a bitrate of 4,000,000
The videos come out pretty well but every minute of
video is rendered at 30 megabytes in size,
so a 5 minute video takes more than 150 megabytes of
hard drive space! I have seen high quality videos on
the internet rendered at about 11 megabytes per minute.
Is there any way to do this with Sony Vegas, or must I use
another program? I have tried reducing the bitrate but that reduces the quality.
Thanks,

Any reason for mpg2? You might look at Blip.tv’s standards for high-def video, but I’m pretty sure they’ll want an H264 mp4. You could keep the mpg2 and encode it in 2-passes. You might even pick up some quality while loosing some space, that depends on how much motion you have.

Hi. Would that give me a relatively compact 10-15 megeabytes per minute file size? I just want something I can upload to youtube.
If so, can you post a screenshot of the video settings for this so I can try it?
Thanks

Take a look at this page…

Hi, I’m grateful for your suggestion, but I’m not sure how to use the advice. The page in question suggests several formats, but doesn’t go into specifics about settings, except that it suggests a bitrate even higher than what I’ve been using which would create even larger sized files. I guess I was hoping that someone who had done it before could tell me how they compact HD videos.
Thanks
