Shrink Rendered File Size
I am very new to Sony Vegas and editing in general. I have put together a video of all of our little league football games and I managed to complete it and render it. With the video and audio I have about 9.6GB after rendering. I want to fit it on a DL 8.5gb DVD. How do I do that? The source video is AVCHD from a Canon Camcorder recorded in progressive format. I am rendering to DVD Architect using the widescreen 24p template. Is there another template that I should use that would reduce the size, or can I reduce the quality a little bit and get it to fit. What is the best way to do this and maintain the highest quality that I can? Thanks for the help.

How long is your video timewise. You should be able to render at least 70 minutes at a reasonable bitrate and get a decent quality on a single layer dvd. You need to take your edited file and render it to MainCoincept DVDA compatable MPEG2 video stream. The language of DVD is MPEG2. For DVDA you should render the audio as AC3.

My project is about 3 hours and 20 minutes. I have adjusted the quality down a bit and I am re-rendering now. Thanks!
