1920x1080 Rendering Question

GT Music wrote on 1/13/2012, 7:28 PM

I'm using 29.970 fps interlaced, 1920x1080x12, AVCHD clips on the time line. of Vegas Pro 9.0e
The project is only 33Minutes long. My question is after Rendering to: Save as Type -- MainConcept MPEG-2 (*mpg;*m2v;*m2t:*mpa) with the Template set to DVD NTSC. The Final AVCHD Files is 6gb which is way to large to put on a DVD-R.
Any suggestions as to how to get this video (with it's high Def) onto a DVD?

Thanks in advance

GT

A DVD video is Standard Definition, not High Definition.
If you are talking about putting AVCHD on a DVD media (which is not DVD video), you will get 17-20 minutes, max.

Use this procedure to make a DVD with HD material that will play in many (not all) Blu-ray players. For this effort I used Sony Vegas Pro 9.0e. You didn’t state which version you intend to use.

When finished editing Render As: Sony AVC

Click the Custom button and copy these settings.

Render video and audio as separate elementary streams. Ensure the files are in the same folder.

In DVD Architect, create a new Blu-ray project with these settings. If your audio is stereo, you can render to .ac3 or PCM.

Select your rendered video file. The audio file should load automatically but if it doesn’t explore to the file location and drag it to the DVD Architect timeline.

Set the End Action and Remote Button Setting to suit yourself.

Select Make Blu-ray Disc

Select Operation To Perform: Prepare

Write the .iso file. DVD Architect should not recompress the video or audio. The operation should go rather quickly.

Download and install ImgBurn

Use ImgBurn to burn the .iso to the media of your choice, DVD-5, DVD-9, Blu-ray.

This disk should play on many Blu-ray players. It will not play on a DVD player. You can experiment with different bit rates up to the capacity of the media. 15 mbps plays reliably in the Blu-ray players that play this disk at all.

"It will not play on a DVD player."

Furthermore, you may have difficulty getting the drawer open again to remove it.

Thanks John

I am using Vegas 9.0e and I know I can't used BlueRay disks in a standard DVD player, so is there a way to improve the quality of the video to make it look close to high def on a standard dvd player, maybe the sharpen video fx would help a little, any ideas

thanks agin

I sometimes go to Blockbuster and rent titles in Blu-ray and DVD. If the story is compelling and the post production is well done, I am sometimes surprized to see how good a DVD can be or how little attention I pay if I was really involved in the story. Something about suspending disbelief.

At this stage of the game, I would spend a hundred dollars on a Blu-ray writer (or write red laser media with the method described above) and about one hundred dollars on a Sony BDP-BX58 at Costco.com and move on with what little life I have left.

"I am sometimes surprized to see how good a DVD can be"

If you can spend more than $100K (as in Hollywood) for the encoding software, hardware and technical staff, then you, too, can approach HD quality in a DVD.
