Hey Guys,

The rendering went great! Got the file down to 6.3GB and the audio just shy of 200MB
The weird thing now is, when I import it into DVDA, It’s telling me the project size is 9.01GB
It recognises that I’m using a Dual Layer disc and even though I know DVDA’s size estimates are usually off, it still won’t let me burn the movie. Or it will start burning, then say, it needs a 2nd layer break and when I can’t insert one-it cancels the whole thing.

Have you guys encountered this before? Is there something in DVDA that adds to the file size?

John,

Thank you SO much for your advice! That is exactly what I needed.
I’m buying dual-layer DVDs today and I will let you know how it goes.
Thank you again.

Nigel,

Can you walk me through how I would do this?

Ok,

I’m mostly focused on getting the file rendered to a size that will fit on a disk.
If I set it to the 720 by 480 resolution, which file type would work best?
And what specific settings should I go with?

Or should I just send it to DVD Architect and Vegas will automatically select the correct settings?

Hey Jim,

Unfortunately the director has been trying to cut the movie down and failing. So I think this is the runtime we’re stuck with.

How low would the quality go if I rendered it in the Sony MXF format?
I’ve definitely given up on getting the quality in 1080 at this point.

What settings should I use? (Sorry, I am REALLY new to this)
