Rendered MP4 Comes Out Pixalated

Posted by Jackie Luffy on January 16, 2013 at 10:48 pm

Does anyone know why when I render in Vegas 12 (the newest one) at a bitrate of 8,000,000 and a two pass I get this crap quality?

And when I render in Vegas 10 (which is older) and render at a bitrate of only 5,000,000 (which is WAY lower) I get better quality????

I figured something strange out…

Vegas 12 – Render at 18,000,000
Vegas 10 – Render at 5,000,000

The only way I can keep the SAME exact quality is those settings… That is so unacceptable I thought newer software was suppose to work better, I guess not!

Which encoder are you using? Sony or MainConcept? Vegas Pro 12.0 changed it’s encoders so try the other one and see if it’s better.

Hmmm, I cant seem to use the Sony AVC encoder because it only gives me 29 frames persecond if its on 1920 X 1080 and my footage is 1280 X 720, also I cant find just a normal MP4 setting on the Sony AVC, it gives me Memory Stick ones, AVC or Bluray?

I Checked my settings on Vegas 10 and it was mainconcept and I made the settings the same on Vegas 12 and it still gives me the bad quality 🙁

I dont know why but I noticed throughout the video it would randomly get worse then go back up again almost as if the “Two pass” setting didnt work right and didnt give some scenes more pixels when it needed..

I am now trying VBR at MAX 20,000,000 and average 6,000,000

I dont understand the problem since mine is only 720P

Rendered out at Max 20,000,000 and average 5,000,000 gave me the exact same pix elated results..

I would go back to Vegas 10 but I cannot because there is an out of synch issue on Vegas 10

I would report the problem to Sony. They did make changes in the MainConcept AVC encoder between 10.0 and 12.0 but it shouldn’t have gotten that bad.

Thanks for the help John, but I think Im gonna let it slide with what I got, I ended up getting great quality (the quality that was my source video) by rendering Mainconcept MP4 with VBR of 45,000,000..

My computer cannot even handle the video obviously and its only 27 minutes 1280 X 720 with a huge file size of 6 and a half gigs.

My plan is to upload it to youtube in hopes it will keep the same quality, download it off youtube to get a smaller version of it with good quality or if that doesnt work then just compress it with Handbrake, that program seems to work well with squeezing things down with keeping quality! 😀

Thanks for the help!

If you like Handbreak then just use that. Render to QuickTime Avid DNxHD and convert to MP4 with Handbreak.
