Rendered .m2t filesize weirdness in Vegas 8.0c?
Hi – experiencing some weirdness that I am sure someone can explain.
I have simple 1080i NTSC Sony AVCHD files I am dropping onto the timeline rendering as 60i 1080 Blue Ray. I select Best Quality, single file for audio and video. It creates an M2T. I use the MainConcept renderer.
I did a simple zoom in/pan effeect and a 3 minute file renders as 1GB…. does not sound healthy!!
As I know NOTHING, can anyone kindly guide me…
thanks in advance

Just a guess, but I think that Version 8 predates AVCHD.

gosh i hope not. being cash strapped vegas 8 is all i could afford.
Documentation indicates that it can handle AVCHD from Sony camcorders.
It also does seem to have a render option for Sony AVC – should I be using that? Or Mainconcept? Apologies for not being on the latest and greatest, hoping my situation will change shortly 🙂

sorry – this version of Vegas should read version 8.1 (x64)
So to sum up – I really do NOT know what I am doing. I seem to have three options? I lack the skills to know what I should be choosing, if any of these?
1. create Mainconcept AVC MP4 (no presets for my AVC bitrate, only low values, so I tried manually entering avg bitrate 20mbps, peak 25mbps?)
2. Create Mainconcept M2T file (files seemed good but MASSIVE after some transitions)
3. Create a SONY AVC file. Would not render 1920×1080 – only 1440×1080. Looked nice though 🙂
