best settings for 1080p rendering

BlackOps wrote on 2/17/2026, 8:27 AM

I prefer BluRay 1920-1080 24p 25 Mbps AVC H64 format, but for some reason I can't save the audio track. The "Enable Audio" button is grayed out on the audio page. Is this how it should be? So my main question is how to save the BluRay format along with the audio track? Perhaps the forum experts can suggest better settings for saving 1080p movies. Thanks.

I also think Sony AVC/MVC is a good format for saving videos in good quality close to the original, but again, the audio option is grayed out (and there is no hardware decoding)

I'd render to MagixAVC as it has hardware encoding.

I've seen MagixAVC many times on the internet, but I can't find this option in Vegas Pro 23. Maybe it's called something else there.

Do you burn Bluray? For Bluray you render video and audio separately.

You are not the only one who cannot find it. It is there. See this topic:

Can you tell me please how do I render a separate audio track for the BluRay format?

I think I've found the best way: render the video in Blu-ray format and the audio separately, then merge the tracks using MKVmerge. The result is perfect quality, close to the original. Using Internet HD 1080p for progressive download , the quality will be worse than the original; I tested it with complex scenes. I hope someone can teach me how to properly save the audio track so that its length perfectly matches the video length.

I use HEVC 265 codec for game clips, and the results are stunning even with a low bitrate. I hope my experience will be useful to someone. But for movies, H264 is better.

Go to "Render" and instead of "Video" formats, choose "Audio", and there you have a bunch of audio formats

@BlackOps You still didn't answer my question, do you want to burn a Bluray?

I dont want to burn a BluRay. I just want to keep some movies in my collection in good quality.
