What Resolution to Render for HD Viewing?
Hi,
I am fairly new to Sony Vegas 8.0 (Platinum). I have edited a video I shot on a Canon Vixia HF100 at 1440×1080 resolution and am preparing to render it to DVD.
Except I don’t know which settings to set for output. I’d like to be able to watch it at HD resolution as it is meant to be played on HD screens.
I have gone through the different settings but am confused as to which one would give me the optimal results.
Thanks in advance!

If you can play it with a reletivly fast computer connected to the HDTV via VGA, HDMI, DVI or component video, try rendering to Windows media video V9 8 mbps HD 1080-30P video. You can still get better with the custom settings and raising the bitrate. Watch full screen with Windows media player. This look great on my HDTV. There are also HD mpeg render templates you can experiment with. If you have to play the DVD with a regular DVD player it has to be downconverted to standard definition, 720 x 480 mpeg 2. Hope this helps. Danny Hays

Thanks Danny!
Very informative. Thing is I made the DVD for a relative’s home use; just a nice DVD player with a large HDTV. I just want her to be able to just pop in the DVD and see it in its full 1080 glory LOL.
I appreciate your response…thanks again.

Unless they have a Blu-Ray player of some sort, it isn’t going to happen.
