My computer is:

dell xps m1330
4G RAM
Intel Dou CPU T7500 2.2 GHz processor
Windows Vista

Project settings are

Internet 360 29.97fps
Best
Interpolate fields

Render

WMV 3mbps
CBR (tried Variables – actually made it longer..)
WMA 9.2
192 kbps 48 hz
smoothness 90
bit rate 1.5
video rendering quality best

I have a hdr xr550 sony handycam – video goes into pmb first, and then into vegas hd 9

Yep, I tried different bit rates and it made all the difference in file size, and my video quality is still really nice! Thanks

I take it though doing so doesnt cut down on render times at all? My render times seem to be 2-3x as long as everyone elses. It takes me 2.5- 3 hours to render a 10 minute 640×480 and I have 4 ram and supposedly lots of free space… do graphics cards have anything to do with render time – NVIDA installed faulty ones some computers purchased at certain dates and my computer is among those types…

Thanks,

Movie looks decent quality.

I’m going to try to play around with changing the Bit rates and see if it helps. Hope so!

Sony HDR XR550v. Uploaded first into the PMB software they provide, and then from there into sony vegas hd 9.

Oh, and I meant the 1280×720 and 640×480 are around 40 and 20 MB per minute, not GB. But like I said, I see others HD wmv videos who are same and or better quality and their file sizes are half of mine…
