V10.0 Movie Studio Platnium – can you change render paramaters from default templates?
Brand new to Vegas and have just started the 30 day trial.
Can you set render options in Tools > Burn Disk > Blu-ray Disk “render parameters” section to use something other than the template options?
I’d like to use this tool to burn a blu-ray disk with custom render options similar to those available in the Project > Render As settings, but don’t see any way of changing the templates (do 2-pass VBR with average and max bit rate, etc.)
Can these be changed, or are you limited to the options presented, e.g., for Sony AVC, highest bit rate template is 1920×1080-60i 16 Mbps video stream.

Sorry but no.
As you’ve discovered, the timeline burning option is extremely limited.
To do more than that, you have to do it the hard way 🙂 -
Hate to ask a newbie question, but what is the “hard way”. I’m new to NLEs. I’ve got an uncompressed 1920x1080i AVI file (1hr, about 361GB of HDTV) that I want to convert into a reasonably high quality blu-ray .iso. All I’ve done with Vegas is add an intro title and chapter marks – I don’t even want a title menu.
After some research I’m thinking I want H264/AVC 2-pass VBR with about 15-20M average (ala commercial BD disks) and 35M peak bps (upper limits for HDTV).
If I don’t do this from the timeline, (burn blu-ray disk was too simple to be true, I guess), what are steps to accomplish this? I can do a ‘Render as’ which seems to let me have the options I want, but I’m not sure how to go from that output file to a blu-ray .iso (Ideally without actually creating a BD-RE disk and then ripping the .iso from that). I’m searching around in the forum, so if this information is in lots of places I’ll find it, but if you’ve got some simple hints, they’d be much appreciated (28 days of Vegas evaluation time left).
Thanks,
Brian

“Hate to ask a newbie question, but what is the “hard way”.”
The “hard way” is exactly as you mentioned in your first post and that is to go File – Render As and customize it as necessary.
” I’m new to NLEs. I’ve got an uncompressed 1920x1080i AVI file (1hr, about 361GB of HDTV)”
That’s a huge file.
Where did the source video come from that it’s so large?“…but I’m not sure how to go from that output file to a blu-ray…”
I’ve never done Blu-ray so I can’t tell you how to proceed.
What I recommend is to to post this question in the other Vegas forum here on the Cow as there are several very knowledgeable users there who will be able to help you. -

Well, I’m able to output a mp4 file with Vegas using the settings I want. Seems the way to burn it to bluray is to then use DVD Architect. However, that program insists on re-encoding before burning. The settings I used to create the mp4 file were consistent with what DVDA help says are bluray compatible, so I guess I’ve got to fiddle with this a bit to figure out why the re-rendering is occurring.
[Mike Kujbida] “That’s a huge file.

Thanks. I’ll fiddle with this and peruse some more and post there if I can’t figure this out. It would seem that taking a 1920x1080i uncompressed AVI and rendering it to a 1920x1080i bluray with a 2-pass VBR AVC encoder with an average and max bit rate setting would be a relatively simple task. Hopefully my difficulty rests only in my unfamiliarity with the tools 😉
