Sony Vegas Pro9 64bit, Canon 5dmkII, output bitrate
Hi,
I am considering whether to purchase either Sony Vegas Pro9 64bit or Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 for producing edited blu rays of my home movie footage from my Canon 5d mkII on my 3Ghz Core2Duo PC, 4gb ram. I have read all sorts of issues regarding editing with footage from this camera with both packages. I am hoping that the new Canon firmware upgrade (24p shooting mode) will resolve at least some of these. Nevertheless, I have downloaded the trial versions of both packages. Unfortuantely the Adobe version wont let me output a blu ray as far as I can tell (so not much of a trial 😉 ). The Sony software has let me burn a disc of some unedited footage from the camera. The result was quite pleasing. There didn’t seem to be any stuttering of the image so not sure if it is doing something automatically re. the 30 frame input file from the camera? Regardless of this, my main question is that the output to bluray (at 1920×1080) seems to be limited to a Sony AVC 16mbps codec. Whilst I like the results, is it possible to preserve more (or all) of the original data rate of the Camera (~38mbps)? Thoughts appreciated.Regards,

You can also use the Main Concept MPEG2 encoder up to 25MBps. Just change the Video Format drop down. I just checked and this works in the trial too.

Hi, yes i see that the mpeg2 encoder works to 25mbps. I am wondering if it is possible for the (or a) avc encoder to work above 16 mbps (preferably up to 38mbps) in Vegas, as my input file is avc.
