I’ve finished editing my first project. It’s a 65-minute documentary with an additional 25 minutes of bonus material. It will end up as a commercially-manufactured DVD.
I’ve assembled the project in Vegas 4 and will be authoring / burning it in DVDA 2a. Then I’ll send the finished DVD+R to the replication facility for manufacturing.
My questions are:
1) Do I need to render to MPEG2 in Vegas before authoring in DVDA? Or can I tell DVDA where to place the various clips, insert my chapter markers, create my menu, and then render the entire project in DVDA? If I can do either, which method would be best?
2) When rendering, what settings should I use to ensure maximum quality? Total time will be 90 minutes, more or less, and there will be music so I want to preserve its quality to the extent possible.
3) Any special cautions or tips you care to share?
Thanks in advance for any help; it is always much appreciated.
