Okay Old Smoke thanks for the reply.

Here are my Property settings please let me know if they look okay...

1920x1080 59.940p None progressive scan. 1.000 Square, 8 bit, Best, Gaussian, interpolate fields.

Render settings. Main Concept mpg-2 NTSC wide, 720x480 29.970, Upper field first, Picture quality set to Best, Vegas normal veritable bit rates. For my 30P render I switch UFF to none.

My question is being my footage is 60p and we are rendering to 29.970 interlace or 30P are these setting good? Also I have found if I render to 30fps progressive I get the picture quality I want but the trade off is not having smooth motion which may be a okay trade off.

I rendered out my 90 minute wedding @ 30P to put on a DVD to see how it will playback on my HDTV but ran in to a problem.

The clip size of the render came to 4.012GB which by the way is smaller then my interlaced render.

Problem being the longer interlace clip works fine with out a re-size message in DVDA 5.2 the 30p clip at 4.013GB in DVDA 5.2 claims its 5.7GB and says it's going to re-render it which I will not do.

Here's my Questions:

If I want to stay with interlace DVDs are my settings okay or does anyone know of any better settings?

If I decide to go with 30p for my DVDs any idea how to get DVDA to except my 4.013GB movie file with out re-rendering? By the way I re-named my audio file so it would not match the video file to see if DVDA would except it, sill had the same problem.

One last question is anyone on this forum making 30P DVDs? If so how do you like it in contrast to interlaced DVDs? Have you had any problems?

The subject was beaten completely to death some years ago in this thread, probably on this forum, also.

I can say with certainty that I've made many, many DVDs from a 1280-720-59.94p source and I don't remember doing anything special. They all looked fine.

On file size, you might look at these settings:
