It still looked pretty bad, not much change. I am trying again with the highest constant bit-rate available, which was something like 9,800,000.

Alright, thanks so much for your help. I’ll let you know if something else goes wrong. 🙂

My sincere apologies, I somehow skimmed over this DVD Architect option when looking at the render settings. I have been able to do pretty much exactly what you show in the images (thank you so much for the visuals). My only question now is, if I have a 1280×720 original size to my video, do I want to go with 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio?

I am trying a 2-pass render from Vegas right now. There are no DVD Architect Studio presets in the render options, but I just went with what I did before plus a 2-pass. Hopefully it will look better…
Also, it’s not the Vegas render that I can’t change the frame rate of, it’s the DVD Architect Studio settings I can’t change from 30fps.

Hi, I tried these settings and they imported into DVD Architect Studio just fine, but I am having two problems:
1. The quality of the video is pretty awful. I’m not just talking about the frame size, I know I can’t get away from that (as I understand it), but I mean that it is very pixelated and has that kind of “silhouette of the previous shot” effect going on throughout it. This isn’t going to be acceptable with the company I am making the film for.
2. DVD Architect Studio won’t let me change the output framerate to anything but 30fps. The film is at 24fps, so I don’t want to waste more time and effort burning this DVD only to pop it in and watch it be all “ghost frame”-ish again.
Ugh. This is way more difficult than it should be…
Thanks for your ongoing help, guys.
P.S. I am definitely using DVD-RWs now.

Thank you! I am able to access these options and have customized the render like you said. Do I need to do video and audio separately? Or will DVD Architect Studio take the video (video+audio as one file) and break it apart itself?

I don’t have time or disk space to convert a file every single time I want to render it as .mov. The main reason I’m concerned is because I typically render footage I’ve added effects to from After Effects as DNxHD codec .mov files. I thought that to be the original problem but Vegas simply won’t work with ANY file that would, by default, open with QuickTime.

Getting back to my original problem…haha.
It doesn’t seem to be codec-related. Any files that would, by default, open in QuickTime do not work properly in Vegas. I have Movie Studio Platinum 11. I plan on trying the method previously mentioned of uninstalling QuickTime and iTunes and re-installing them. I will try that tomorrow and see if it solves the problem.
Thanks.

P.S. This only started happening within the last few days. I have always been able to import and work with these file types in the past. I don’t know what changed or how to fix it.

Alright, awesome. I’m very familiar with the rendering process so I shouldn’t need that sort of aid. I’ve never even used that Make Movie button on Movie Studio anyway, haha. Thanks for your help.
