Vegas 7 and 264?
Hey guys, well I’m a vegas 6 (6d to be exact) user, and I have to say, the workflow is easy, fast, and effective. So obviously no complaints there. But when it comes to renderring, I always hated the fact that I couldn’t render quicktime h.264 or avi x264. Now many it’s just my computer that’s messed up, but my friends using vegas also can’t render out those formats (or codecs). So how does vegas 7 integrate those 2 very powerfull tools (for those who had a chance to explore… I’d get the trial version but I’m at school and well…days are long).
Thanks in advance

Render to Sony AVC/AAC for PSP and anything else up to 720×480
Render to MainConcept AVC/AAC for ipod and HD.
This will give you Mpeg-4, H.264 in the AVC/AAC variant (which is what most people are using).

All of what Dr. Dropout says is true of Vegas 6.0d and Vegas 7.

When it really counts, I render a component Quicktime. Then I open it up in Quicktime Pro and export the video as H264 in what ever size I need (Usually 1280 x 720). Looks flawless…

I’m gonna have to give that a try

Wow, you must have a different version of Quicktime pro than I have. I have so fra been able to encode a single move file with QT, for all my other attempts QT has crashed. It is also the slowest video encoder I have ever encounted on any platform. This is QT on Windows.

You can render out to any properly-installed codec you have on your system, really.
I have ffdshow installed for those rare times I need i – and it can encode pretty much any MPEG4/H.264 type you’d want.
Just go to Render As.. and pick Video For Windows (AVI) as the save type. For the template, do a custom one. Once in that menu, go to the Video tab and choose the video format you want the video to be encoded as inside the AVI wrapper (in this case, fdshow. If you pick an encoder that has multiple options (like divx or ffdshow), the “Configure…” button will become active, and you can set all your encoding preferences in there.
(These actual steps are in Vegas6, so I can’t be certain they’re all in the same menus in 7. Haven’t updated yet, and likely won’t for a while).
