Hello,

i am using the Sony HDR-CX900E camcorder and i want to save the recordings after editing in same quality without rendering. Of course the faded szenes must be rendered, but the rest should not be rendered.
Before i had a Sony HDV camcorder and it was possible to use the smart rendering for the recorded mpeg files.
I am still using Sony Vegas Pro v13.

Clip details:
Video codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264), 1920x1080, 17Mbit/s, frame rate 25, Planar 4:2:0 YUV
Audio codec: A52 Audio (aka AC3) (a52), 2 channel Stereo, 48000 Hz, 256 kB/s
Sony quality description: AVCHD FH, 50i, 17M

I have also some other clips with i higher bitrate and 5.0
Video codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (h264), 1920x1080, frame rate 25,  Planar 4:2:0 YUV, 24Mbit/s
Audio codec: A52 Audio (aka AC3) (a52), 3F2R/LFE chanels, 48000 Hz, Bitrate: 448 kB/s
Sony quality description: AVCHD FX, 50i, 24M

I tried a lot of render settings in vegas but i never get smart rendering.  
Can somebody give me some hints to find the correct render settings for smart rendering? I want to create video clips for some media player, not for BR-Discs.

Best regards,
Martin
