Using Vegas pro what are the best Frame size/Frame rate & Video file type should I use to make BD HD disks using the Nikon Z9 camera.

File size frame rate choices are: (7680x4320:30 to 24) File type H.265 10 bit or 8 bit

(3840x2160; 60 to 24) File type H.265 10 bit or 8 bit or ProRes 422 HQ 10 bit

(1920 x 1080 120-100) File type H.265 10 bit or 8 bit or ProRes 422 HQ 10 bit

(1920 x 1080 60-50) File type H.265 10 bit or 8 bit or ProRes 422 HQ 10 bit & H.264 8 Bit

(1920 x 1080 30-24) File type H.265 10 bit or 8 bit or H.264 8 Bit

Thank you for your help.

BD is HD.

UHD BD is a different format.

Specs for both are on Wikipedia.

Format overkill during shooting is generally a waste of time unless you will be zooming a lot during editing.

Thanks for the help. Can Vegas 17 produce UHD BD file for burning in DVD Architect. Help much appreciated

I don't think DVDA has been updated for UHD BD. Check out TMPGENC, it might.
