render to what?
Hi-realize this is basic but cant(exactly) find what I’m looking and there seems to be conflicting stories as to what looks best.
Up until now have used a fire wire to get standard DV footage into PC and then use Vegas 9 to render to mpeg2. Then I bring the rendered footage in to Architect 5 (wide screen PAL) where it is authored and it all looks good.Very good in fact.
Just before Xmas I bought a new Sony full HD(its achvid but records to 1080 p) camera.Already had a blue ray burner in the pc(as it has always been my intention to watch full HD on my 1080 tv(Panasonic) when the time came to upgrade .
I will buy a PS3 for the finished blue ray disc that I intend to buy next month.I can watch it on my pc with the burner until then.
Ok- here we go.
What do I render the files(on the time line)to?
I would like best quality as to watch Full HD through a blue ray player on my Panasonic 50 inch tv.
I also realise that I can burn straight from the time line but I really want to author my disc.
Some people say to render to avi,some people say mpeg-sheese why so hard?????
Someone give me please a straight answer as to what will look best from all of the different ways to burn a blue ray disc to be shown on a full hd tv on a ps3.
Thanks in advanceWayne

Hi Wayne,
It really is not that hard at all. Blu-ray supports HDV (MPEG2) or AVCHD. Since your camera is AVCHD just pick the Sony AVC template that is closest to your footage. For PAL that would be Blu-ray 1920×1080-50i, 16 Mbps video stream. Then render your audio as Dolby Digital AC3 and you’re done. Drop that into a DVD Architect Blu-ray project and you’re all set to author the disc.

Really appreciate it-one wonders why some suggest avi for Blueray but it doesn’t really matter now
Thanks again John -

I think it’s because people are always looking for the formula to the “secret sauce”, the magic incantation that few people know… when in fact, if you select an HD project template in Vegas and render to one of the HD templates, and you never change or tweak a single parameter, you will get beautiful pristine video. It’s the people who tweak without even knowing what they are doing that quite often get themselves into trouble and blame Vegas. There is no magic. Vegas simply works when you let it. 😉
