Final Render
I posted on this the other day, now can’t find the post. I have 2 30 minute clips that are currently mpeg2. I am going to be presenting them on a 10foot x 10 foot screen. FullScreen. My question is 2 parts, I was told to render at at least 8mbps, which format is that and how do I keep it as small as possible? 2nd part has to do with size. What size should this be to look proper? I’m a novice when it comes to something this big.

8mbps refers to the bitrate of an mpeg-2 stream.
Who told you they have to be at least that bitrate as 8mbps is the maximum recommended bitrate for consumer DVDs.
Since you have 2 clips totalling one hour, it’s very easy to render out of Vegas at that bitrate.
How did you do your original mepg-2 render?
If you used the default settings, which one did you use? -
Audio: 224 Kbps, 44,100 Hz, Layer 2
Video: 29.970 fps, 720×480Default Template
is this correct?

If by Default Template, you mean “DVD Architect NTSC video stream”, since the video is only 1 hr. long, I’d make one change.
Click the word “Custom” next to the “Template” box and then click the “Video” tab.
Change the bit rate (bottom part of the screen) from VBR (Variable Bit Rate) to CBR (Constant Bite Rate) and from 6,000,000 to 8,000,000.
Save this as a preset by clicking in the “Template” window at the top of this screen and adding 8MB CBR to the words “DVD Architect NTSC video stream” so that you end up with “DVD Architect NTSC video stream-8MB CBR”. Feel free to change this name to something else if you want. I prefer this as it tells me exactly what it is.
Now click the “Save” icon (looks like a floppy disc) to the right of this window.
This template will now show up as a render option the next time you choose MPEG-2.
BTW, If any of your videos are under 1 hr, I recommend using CBR as your final quality will be better.
