Rendering AVCHD to dvd

[Aleksandar Acimovic] “What do you mean by default presets?”
Options – Preferences gives you a few tabs where you can set things.
If you’ve never changed them, it’s possible that these folders are getting full and should be emptied out. -
Ok I installed DVDA PRO and ignored message, now my DVD is burning… I will notify what happen, how will it look in the end. Maybe problem was in Studio version….still one more thing, it needs to rerender audio, so can you tell me some info about audio settings in vegas, what bitrate to use for audio for dvd quality?
-
Rerendering the audio is not a problem with quality, but if you use the Dolby AC-3 preset for DVDA, then the audio should be fine.
If you were trying to use something like a WAV or MOV file, then that could have been the root of your original problem because a WAV file is huge compared to an AC3.

[Aleksandar Acimovic] “avarage 4886”
I thought I had already said that the average bit rate for your project should be 4611Kbps. 4886 was probably too much.

I’m having a problem too rendering a file to burn to video DVD that is obviously much smaller than Vegas “thinks” it is.
Vegas was saying that “Approximate Size: 3.3 Gb”, then when the DVD was done burning its file and file sizes according to Windows Explorer are:
/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.vob 232kb
/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.vob 970 Mb
/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_2.vob 955 Mb970 Mb + 955 Mb + 0.232 Mb = 1925.232 Mb = 1.93 Gb rounding to 2 decimal places
Why does Vegas think that 1.93 Gb is 3.3 Gb?

[Dieter Moreno] “Why does Vegas think that 1.93 Gb is 3.3 Gb?”
It’s not Vegas, it’s DVD Architect. It has a long history of incorrectly reporting file sizes.

Yea, we don’t know why it does this but you bring up a good point. Whenever you think that DVD Architect might be wrong, it’s a good idea to Prepare the DVD but don’t Burn it. Then check the VIDEO_TS folder size and if it’s under 4.7GB, go back and Burn from the existing folder and be sure that it will work regardless of any warnings you may get. DVD Architect allows you to do these two steps independently so why not take advantage of that to check your work.
BTW, speaking of checking your work, you can preview the DVD in most DVD Player software simply by pointing it to the VIDEO_TS folder. This is a great way to check your work without burning a disc.

I don’t have DVD Architect. I burnt the disc using the “burn to disc” feature in Vegas.
It actually is Vegas that is estimating larger than expected file sizes on DVDs.
My version of Vegas is Vegas Pro 10.
