Have a Problem Rendering for Blu-Ray
Hi All,
I have an hd project which is a total of 2hr & 13min and i render as Mainconcept Mpeg2 : Blu-ray 1440×1080-60i, 25mbps then after a while a message comes up saying vegas has stopped working. Is this the right setting for best quality? Now i am trying with the HDV 1080-60i and it is rendering with no problem . Thanks in advanceBernard

You should use the Blu-ray template that most closely matches your source footage format. Was the original footage HDV 1440×1080-60i? If so that’s what you should use. If that doesn’t work for some reason and HD 1920×0180 is working then just use that. There should be no difference in quality between the two (just a different pixel aspect ratio).

Hi John,
I used the 1920x 1080 setting and i put the Variable bit rate from Max to 25MB and left the Aver at 25 and Min at 20 and the Quality at default 15(Do i leave as or raise it?)then it rendered. I haven’t looked at the play back yet for quality. My file with audio is 23.1GB and when i opened this file in DVDA 5 the file is now in red at 25.4GB. So it can not fit on a 25GB disc. I don’t know what happened here.Bernard

Setting the Max and Average the same doesn’t make sense. The Max determines how much you are allowed to use if needed. The average says that, on average, if you go over up to the max you must also go under to compensate to keep the average. Keeping the Max and Average the same is like using a constant bit-rate.
when i opened this file in DVDA 5 the file is now in red at 25.4GB. So it can not fit on a 25GB disc. I don’t know what happened here.
A typical 25GB Blu-ray disc can hold almost 2 hrs of 25Mbps footage. You are obviously over that. You can encode at a lower bit-rate and loose some quality or switch to AVCHD which can give the same quality at lower bit-rates. I would use AVCHD and not sacrifice quality but it’s up to you.

Hi John, I used the Sony AVCHD 1440×1080 601 and it will take around 5 hours to render which is not a problem.

That should work. It does take a long time to render AVCHD because of the compression it uses but the files are a lot smaller so you can fit more on a disc.
