Sony Vegas Bitrate – Specifying Length of Project
Hi guys,
Will appreciate any help on this one. I am burning a DVD (25p). My project length is three separate video clips (1080p) totalling a length of around 80 minutes. To render I am using MPEG-2. My question concerns calculating the bit rate. When calculating the bit rate for rendering each of the three separate clips in Vegas, do I specify the length of that clip, or the total length of the DVD?
Thanks!

If you’re trying to figure out how much you can fit on a DVD, you’ll be looking at (total video time) * (bitrate). There are lots of bitrate calculators around that’ll work out the fine points for you and give you a reasonable number. I used one recently that even recommended an average, peak and minimum bitrate for two-pass rendering.
Now, you won’t be rendering 1080p for DVD. DVD doesn’t go that high. You’ll want to use the Mainconcept DVD rendering template and adjust your bitrate there.
