HDV burn to Blu ray?

Hey guys,

It's been 5hrs of HDV MP4 rendering straite from the vegas timeline to Blu ray. It's only at 8%. I don't even want to imagine what an HDV MPEG2 will render at. My project is 2hrs long with some small graphics but why does it take soooooooooo long to render? I can't use DVD Architect 4.5 because it does not support Blu ray authoring so is this is the only way to burn to Blu ray?.

Thanks.

For one MPEG-2 rendering is a lot faster than MP4 (H.264) rendering. How long is soooooo long? Can you tell us a little bit about the project (source footage, color correction etc) and your hardware? But the short of it is, AVC (H.2664/MP4) takes a long time to render. No two ways about it.

Terji,

I did not know that rendering in MPEG2 HDV 1440-1080i is faster then MP4 H.264 HDV 1440-1080I. Thats good to know.

Thanks.

It is A LOT faster. Rendering to AVC takes a lot of time on any computer. It is hard work.
