What kind of disc are you using? BluRay? DVD? What are you trying to encode to: mpg2 for DVD or HD or AVCHD?

If DVD are you using a dual layer disc?

I'm burning DVD, I used Mpeg2 - Default, setting to render my project, now all I need is a way to put project unto one disc.

Do a search on here for an mpg calculator. (I am also certain there is one on Vasst.com).

Adjust your bit rate to make it fit. If you are using a dual layer disc, you shouldn't have to adjust much or even at all.

don' want to us a double layer disc. I'm not familar with the calulator, I was thinking there was a format I could use that sqeezes the file down or uses less space, my orginal file rendered in default AVI was 15 gigs and when I rerendered it , with Mpeg 2 it was 5 gigs, now if Theres anything else I can do to get it down a little farther. I will search for the calulator to see what you are talking about . I sure thank you for your help.

The final size of an MPEG2 file is determined ONLY by its average bitrate.

Assuming that you'll be using a single layer disc and 192kbps .AC3 audio, render MPEG2 out of Vegas using the DVD Architect template, hit the "Custom Button" and set Maximum Bitrate to 8,000,000, minimum bitrate to 3,216,000 and the average bitrate to 5,360,000. Make sure the quality slider is all the way up. You will have to render the audio separately. Use these two files in DVD Architect.

when you say render the audio separately Explain, Ive never done that before. I'm learning so much on this forum, been using Vegas for 3 years, and it seems like I'm just getting the hang of it.

Rendering to MPEG2 using the DVD Architect template will result in a file which only contains the video portion of your project. When this is finished rendering, go back to "render as" and select WAVE (Microsoft) .WAV" and render this as a 48k 16bit stereo file and give it the same name as the video track you just rendered. You will end up with two files, one for the video and one for the audio. When you load the video track into DVD Architect, it will recognize the audio track automatically and load that as well.
