which bit rate do you use for 720p HD?

[Mike Kujbida]

Gilles, I like the Sony AVC Internet preset for this.
If you want to see how good it looks, take a look at (my latest production!!) the various video segments at https://www.stclaircollege.ca/healthsciences/
Everything was shot at 1440x1080i and then run through this preset to get what you see there.

Thanks Mike that’s what I use as well. I was wondering if lowering the bitrate would be worth it though.

my preset is VBR avg 8000, max 16000
is this yours to? should be unless min magically changed.

Gilles, I use the Sony AVC preset and it sounds like you’re using the MainConcept one.
Here’s what mine looks like.

I too highly recommend the Sony AVC format, and its
not necessary to fiddle with the bitrate.

Thanks for your valuable input guys.
I used Main Concept as I’ve had clients with video/audio sync issues when viewing the SONY AVC render before. When I used MC, no issues.

I’ll try Sony AVC again… this is a new client.

Sony AVC 720p is not included on Vegas Pro 11. I mentioned this before and still wonder why it is missing.

[Mike Hinkel] “Sony AVC 720p is not included on Vegas Pro 11. I mentioned this before and still wonder why it is missing.”

That is just ridiculous 🙁
Have you emailed Sony to ask them why it’s not there?

[Mike Hinkel]

“Have you emailed Sony to ask them why it’s not there?”

No, I didn’t. I guess maybe it is time I did.

[Joseph Tessier]

I have contacted Sony about this and have not gotten any word about any updates to correct. I just use 10 when I need to render for internet – not the most efficient but workable for now.

In the interim, could you not create a Template in Vegas 11 that is identical to Vegas 10’s Internet 1280×720-30p? You would have to change the Frame size to Custom and set Width and Height accordingly and duplicate the other values.
