Sony vegas pro 9 render settings
Hi, I have a 2 hour 7 minute video edited in sony vegas pro 9, filmed in HDV.
Using DVD Arch 5.2 what render settings should I use to get the best quality on 1 DVD 4.7g.
Using Marks DVD Bitrate Calculator the recomended Bitrate is 4048.
Should I render the video in a different format to get the best quality.
Thanks Grant -

MPEG-2 for video and AC-3 for audio are the best formats you can render to.
Due to the length of your video, I highly recommend getting the VBR settings and doing this as a 2-pass render in Best mode.
It will take longer to render but the results will be worth it. -
Thank you for your help Mike.
I did try rendering as MPEG 2 using the template “DVD Architect Pal Widescreen video stream” I didnt change the bitrate and the video ended up at 5.37 GB.
Should I change the bitrate and if so, what to? -
Grant, you didn’t say but my guess is that DVDA is telling you that it’s 5.37 GB.
If I’m correct, ignore the warning as DVDA has a long history of incorrectly reporting file sizes.
I get it periodically and I’ve used Mark’s calculator for years so I know that my files are within the limits.
I ignore the warning, proceed to the next step and DVDA acts like noting happened.
As I said earlier though, to get the best picture quality, do it as a 2-pass VBR render.
You will see the difference. -
Thanks for your help Mike.
Very much appreciated
Cheers Grant
