MPEG-2 Render question

Is there any way to render an mpeg-2 file in resolution of 1440 x 480?????

I can only seem to get Vegas to render in DVD-compliant size (720 x 480).

I am using Vegas Movie Studio 9.0.

Thanks!

Are you sure that you aren't looking for the HDV template of 1440x1080?

Do you have VMS9 or one of the other versions such as Platinum? I don't think the standard VMS9 supports high def resolutions such as 1440x1080.

I am using platinum. I am interested in 1440 x 480 because I am trying to render two side-by-side streams at 720 x 480...thus the need for 1440 x 480...I don't want the black bars at the top/bottom of the final render, which I think is what I'd end up with if I used the full HD render size you are suggesting (thanks for your help, by the way).

I can do it in AVI format, but not mpeg-2...guess I'll have to find a conversion program to do it for me...Nero did it (about the only useful thing that horrid software does) but I recently lost my XP-machine (and thus the Nerovision program) so I have to find another solution.

Couldn't you just track motion to create your side-by-sides?

Or if using VMS10 Platinum HD Suite, the NewBlueFX Split Screen MSPS?

An easy way might be if you had a 1440x480, you could just use match media properties in the project settings. That should work in any version of Platinum.
