Camera: Canon Vixia HV30 (HDV) [1080/60i] [1080/30P/60i] [720/30P]

RLE: SONY Vegas 9 Platinum (consumer version)

Objectives:

(1) Shoot/Render for the best possible viewer experience ...

(2) Final distribution via .wmf data files and YouTube Upload ...

(3) Will commit to multi-pass render times and longish upload sessions (P4+4G).

My latest 1080/P30 upload looks "good" at 720 but like a choppy slide-show @ 1080.

My first trial was @ 18MBit/sec CBRx2P ... trying to retain most quality (priority).

Looking for "Golden Generic WorkFlow" for best (1) .wmf ... and ... (2) YouTube "file".

I would like one "super-quality" output render, for local distribution of .wmf files on data DVD disks (better than Blu-Ray and runs on any .wmf computer)

BUT ... willing to do seperate output renders for YouTube upload if I absolutely must.

I figger I am pretty "main-stream", for a "seriously commited prosumer artist"

Truly ... For local and internet distribution (and purest local HQ archiving) >>>>

WHAT WORKS BEST ??? ... Thank You SO MUCH !

.wmf is a still image format used mainly for clipart.
Vegas doesn't save it.
Youtube doesn't accept it.

Why?

Do you really mean WMV ?
Again, same question. Why?

Yes ... .wmv ... I was thinking "windows media file" ...

Doh! ... Would like to say that was a typo ... fat chance.

Now that I have sufficiently blushed ... Does anyone have an excellent answer?

... They keep changing the names of the codecs, just to make me look stupid(er)!

Then it's simply a matter of buying a faster PC. If your 720p exports playback properly, and the 1080p ones don't, provided that you used the right field order and frame rate, then it's a matter of you and your viewers getting a faster PC.

If you want best compatibility with most viewers, only export to 720p. Not everyone has a fast machine.
