Issues with Vegas 9 QuickTime renders
Whenever I try and encode a QuickTime file (for web use) from the Vegas timeline, the file size doesn’t change based on what template I use. In theory, a 256kbps QT file template should render out a file smaller in size than a 512kbps QT file template.
I read a similar post that dealt with the audio tab in the render settings. Vegas crashed whenever I clicked on the tab, but that was fixed by rolling back QuickTime from 7.6.4 to 7.6.2. I thought that would also solve my render problem, but it didn’t.
I’m using Vegas 9.0b (build 772) on Windows XP Pro. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The more I troubleshoot this problem, the more I’m convinced it’s an issue with Vegas 9 and not QuickTime. I uninstalled and reinstalled QuickTime (7.6.2) and still have the same issue.
To clarify the problem I’m having: When I encode a two-minute video QuickTime file (using the 512kbps template, for example), the file size should end up being about 7-8mb. Vegas 9 encodes every preset template (256kbps, 512kbps, 1mbps, etc) similarly and they end up all being roughly the same file size (25-30mb).
I tried encoding the same file on another computer using Vegas 8c (with QuickTime 9.6.4) and it works fine.

If that’s the case, then it must be something new with Vegas 9. Vegas 7 and 8 don’t have this issue at all. I need to encode QT files that are under 10mb in size.
