Vegas Movie Studio Platinum – How to render movies?
Just upgraded from 4.0 and the new 9.0 is really cool in many ways but I still cannot find any information on what format to use when I want to render my movies. I want to:
1. Make best quality movie for burning to a DVD
2. Make a light version for uploading movie to the netCan somebody give me a primer and feel free to expand on the subject. I also would like to know how to set the project and other properties for proper combination with the rendering prosess. I use an older type high end basic miniDVD sony video camera with true 16:9.
Also, Im using Windows Media Player and all movie formats do not show.
Thanks

Doesn’t the Movie Studio version have a Make Movie button that takes all the guess work out of this for you? Why aren’t you using that?
DVD’s only use MPEG-2 video so you should use the MainConcept (MPEG-2) type using the DVD Architect widescreen video stream templates. For the web, try the MainConcept (AVC) type starting with the iPod template and tweaking it for your needs (i.e., make it widescreen) This will produce mp4 files.

Thanks for your feedback. No, the make movie button is no shortcut to success. There is like a thousand options available of which I have absolutely no clue.

Video is filmed in true 16:9. Strange is that under the media preferences the pixel aspect ratio shows as PAL DV Widescreen but if I try to use that as a pixel aspect ratio under project preferences then I get a squashed render. If I use PAL DV then I get a black stripe above the movie and below but at least the movie is in 16:9. Here are my settings:
Project properties
– template: PAL DV
– pixel aspect ratio: 1.0926 PAL DV
– preview device, output format: PAL DV WidescreenOk, so that is strange but at least I get the right 16:9 format. The other problem is that when I render to a mpeg2 format it will not show in Mediaplayer or on my DVD. On my WinDVD it works but not on Windows Media Player or on Quick time. What am I doing wrong?
