Hi chaps – thanks for reply
the “Internet HD 720p” template is under MainConcept AVC/AAC in my vegas 11
Bit rates. I tried Max 3,000,000 and Av 2,100,000 and thought it was a but muddy
Max 8,000,000 and Av 6,000,000 and it looked better but file size was 3 times original.
As I say Max bps 16,000,000 and Av 8,000,000 gave acceptable quality but file size 4 time input.
MediaInfo gave the following – but its a bit much for me – I really don’t know where to start
