Hey Walter thanks for you’re reply, I will be checking out the link you mentioned.
Also I did some tests, rendering using AE without multiprocessing reduced the time compared to AME by 2 hours 15 minutes! That’s insanely fast, although it looked like 82% of the RAM was being used by AE.

But the downside of rendering using AE is that the final video size is huge! Just over 22GB for 2 minute clip. Anyway I could reduce the file size, or is this where AME comes into play?

Thanks

I would like to say thanks to everyone who helped me during the project. The end result is almost over and it’s almost completed. It’s because of everyone’s help my project is almost complete. Just authoring left to do, which has encountered another problem.

So I tried reducing VBR yet still sony vegas froze and only around 5 minutes of the video got rendered!

VBR = Maximum = 4,200,000 Average = 4,200,000 Minimum = 192,000

Yet still sony vegas freezes? I also realised when the encode failed, the amount that was rendered 5 minutes had some sort of bars across the video, it was like a white bar that occurred varies times throughout the 5 minute clip.

PLease help me out here.

@Jeff Pulera,

DVD Architect PAL Widescreen Video Stream > Customize Template:-
Video Quality:- 31
Insert sequence header between every GOP:- Ticked
Two Pass:- Ticked
Variable Bit Rate:- Maximum:- 9,500,00 Average:- 6,000,000 Minimum:- 192,000

I wasn’t able to find an option for VBR .

Everything else has been kept the way it should be.

The above setting has only been done for my main video which is over 1 Hour.
When it comes to “additional features” (more videos) I will be using Adobe Media Encoder as originally there were created in Adobe After Effects.

What do you think mate? Everything has been setup to it’s best setting?

EDIT:- I’m not sure why but Sony Vegas crashes and stops running. I’ve tried 5 times yet still the problem occurs. PLease help?

EDIT 2:- After hours of testing sony vegas still freezes, I am unsure why. ;(

@Jeff Pulera, I’m really sorry for the late reply.

The total duration of all the motion menu including transitions is 2 minute 45 seconds. Within the motion menu there are 2 still menus; one for home where there will be two buttons and anther for “special features” so numerous buttons.

I tried searching for “MPEG-2 DVD” for rendering settings but only found the following:-

Can you please tell me which render setting to opt for.

Thanks

@Jeff Pulera

The total duration I want to put on DVD is just under 1 hr 20 minutes.

Just read the previous posts and I’m really confused.

So here it goes hopefully you guy’s will understand better.

I’ve been using Sony Vegas to create numerous video files. After which they have been compiled together to form the final video.

I used Adobe Effects to render out motion backgrounds to be used on both BluRay & DvD.

I used Adobe Encore for the authoring process. When it came to creating BluRay project the end result was great, audio, sound along with motion backgrounds and visual effects were just great.

Within Encore there was an option to create “DvD”. So just to test it out I opted for DVD and output was set as DVD Image. The end result of the DVD was incredibly poor; audio, sound along with motion backgrounds and visual effects were just awful.

So I’ve been searching around the internet honestly spending countless hours yet still have not found any solution on how the sound, quality etc can be improved. I can only rely on Creative Cow Community to help me out.

Pleas someone help me.

I can provide additional information such as the render settings for Adobe After Effects for the motion backgrounds.

Thank you very much.

I’ve purchased Reg Giant Instant HD, how do I use the plugin?
Sorry for asking silly questions just that I usually use Sony Vegas. I only use Adobe Effects & Adobe Encore when it comes to authoring.

[Farhan Ali]

Hello, thanks for your recommendations. Just did some quick research and looks like Reg Giant Instant HD looks to be reasonable. I’ll be purchasing the plugin, I hope it’s an easy plugin to use.

Have you used any of the plugins you have mentioned before?

[Farhan Ali]

Hello Chris Wright, thanks for you’re response. My client wanted DvD format because some of his friends and families do not have BluRay player.

Hello Oki Pienandoro, firstly I would like to say thank you very much for replying I really appreciate you’re help.

For all my video assets I opted to select “Use Maximum Render Quality”. But not sure if I had increased the “Quality” slider, I will give it a try.

How do I calculate maximum /average/target bitrate? And what’s the reason for the calculation?

What you must do is to render out to DVD-Folder in Encore, and do an IFO edit using freeware PGCEdit.

In Encore when it came to buring my project onto disc, I opted for DvD Image which created .iso file extension.
What’s an IFO edit?

Thanks
