  • Rendering Problems with Sony Vegas Pro 10

    Posted by George Salajean on July 26, 2011 at 11:54 am

    I have this 1h and 57 minutes movie 1280×720 mpg 2 that I had to modify a few stuff and put the markers for chapters so I did that with Vegas. Then I proceed to render: movie for Windows .avi and then the codec is Sony YUV, I use the project settings and everything seem fine except I have a huge file of several hundreds of GB. I have been capturing the video with a Sony FX 1000 HDV 1440×1080, the computer has 364 GB free and at one point there’s an error saying that “there’s no space left” on my hard drive. Anybody has any ideas?

    Is there any reason why you are rendering to AVI? If your target is DVD, you should be using one of the MainConcept DVD Architect Templates. Given the duration on the timeline, you will also need to use 2 pass variable bit rate rendering or split your project into 2 to fit onto 2 DVD’s.

    I’m using double layer DVDs of 8.5 gb, splitting should not be an issue.
    My problem is when I hit “Render as…”. What exactly should be my settings here? This is what I’m asking. I’m fairly new to Sony Vegas so I think I’m missing something because I’m getting the huge files. And on the other hand I don’t honestly know what do you mean by Main Concepts DVD Architect Templates? I have to render first and then I use the DVD Architect, right?

    Taken from a recent John Rofrano post…

    DVD’s require MPEG2 video and AC3 audio. Render your video to MainConcept MPEG2 with any of the DVD Architect … templates that match your location and videos aspect (NTSC or PAL and 4:3 or 16:9 Widescreen). Then render your audio as Dolby Digital AC3 with the Stereo DVD template. These are the files that you should use when authoring your DVD with DVD Architect.

    But when the target is a Full HD file and the .avi for a 12 minute video ends up with over 100GB? What is wrong? Other 1920×1080 files as WMV have 560MB but with AVI the rendering takes ages and the file size is humungous.

    Ivan I don’t understand what you are trying to do. Why do you want a “full HD” file?

    [Ivan Ribeiro] “But when the target is a Full HD file and the .avi for a 12 minute video ends up with over 100GB? What is wrong?”

    What’s wrong is that you’re probably rendering an uncompressed avi.
    Determine what your needs are and choose a file format and template appropriate to those needs.

    how do you render a avi video so it is the same size input-output?
    my AVI video is 700 mgs but when I render it, it is like 20 gigs lol.
    I want it to stay at 700mgs or maybbe a bit bigger, like 1 gig.
