Vegas Mpeg 2 HELP!!

[David Bilodeau]

Jack, that looks like the specs for DVD Architect NTSC video stream (a standard Vegas render setting).

When you select that one, look at the video tab of the MainConcept MPEG-2 that comes up for that choice.

Then click Audio and you can change the audio settings to match the spec.

If you look at the advanced video tab you can see the various frames included by default.

The Vegas online help is very extensive and should help you confirm all this.

Thanks!! It’s the VBR @ 12 mbps that confuses me
It has Maxium, Adverage and minimum settings on the tab, and I’m not really sure what all those numbers mean. not sure i even want to know.. haha… but I need to somehow give them VBR @ 12

any ideas?

thanks again!

“Variable Bit Rate” – on the Video tab, to get 12 MBPS you will have to change the Output Type to ATSC and then tweak the Variable Bit Rate at the bottom to 12,000,000 (you can enter any values there). However, I have a gut feeling the default values that appear, which are larger, would suffice. Perhaps they are specifying “minimum specs”?

Might be worth a Google search of ATSC to read more about this standard. One such search revealed this article:

dude…. you are the best.

thanks a million!! I’ll render and send it away
all this “Long GOP 15 frames w/3 frames” talk is making me nuts

I just hope it’s what they need

thanks again
