*sigh* Oh well, looks like I just need to get used to an extra step. Thanks everyone for helping me out with this issue… and hopefully Sony can make a Vegas that had a better MPEG-2 encoder AND isn’t too buggy.

Well, HERE’s a new one… I decided to try one more test:
1. I rendered the file I created in Vegas (background generator, text, etc) as an uncompressed AVI.
2. I loaded the file into another program (TMPGEnc 4)
3. Rendered as an MPEG-2 file (I believe all of the setting were about the same as Vegas)
4. MPEG-2 file had minimal artifacting. Despite the fluxuating lights in the video and the use of bright red, the compression artifacts were hardly visible unless you were blatantly looking for them. So, that leaves me wondering if the Main Concept MPEG-2 plugin is just a bit “faulty”?

Well, tried knocking the max bitrate down to 8mbps and rendering as elementary streams… same effect. Sad thing is, I finally tried doing a WMV test… also looked better than MPEG-2 🙁 Is there just something “off” about the Main Concept MPEG-2 plug-in, or is there just something I’m missing?
Also, in regards to DVDA, if you have a DVDA compliant file, it won’t re-render the video, which I always try to make sure as well.

As with AVI, I could try a WMV test as well. As for that template, it was based on info I found online in regards to rendering with the best MPEG-2 quality. Even the DVD Architect template already in there gave me blocking issues though. Could it be a case of having things TOO high? I’ve read that could cause various issues too.

Thanks for the heads up, but I just tried it, and got the same results. The video made use of the film effect FX, and I even did a test where I rendered it first as an uncompressed AVI (which of course looked perfect), then rendered that file as an MPEG-2, thinking bypassing the re-rendering of the FX would help… still had the same results.
