PLEASE SONY - Give a clear answer on recompress

I create and render wedding videos

I capture with SONY HD camera and capture to my computer using Sony Vegas 9 Pro

I edit and have tried EVERY rendering you can imagine (mpeg 2, HD, Blue Ray, DVD Widestream, etc)

What I am trying to avoid is rendering once in vegas and then having DVD Architect do it all over again..ugggg...10 hours in one case...

Example
I render 4 blu ray clips (I select MPEG 2 and =Blu Ray Template etc etc)

I use a DVD A template to match what I output

When I hit optimize disk or create Blu Ray it wants to recompress

when I check to see why it says it needs to make it compliant

Oh..and Yes, I have my video and audio bit streams seperate...god forbid the tool understands they belong together like pre-HD and pre-Blu ray days...

So help....How do I avoid RECOMPRESS and not make my first render a squished version of what I need....Thanks

Since this is a user-to-user forum, it's not the best place to reach Sony.

You can reach them by selecting Contact from the About Us drop-down at the top of this page.

But if you're asking us, the answer is relatively simple. Well, depending on whether you're trying to create a DVD or a Bluray,, which have very different specs, of course.

Although remember that, since you're authoring DVDs, there is always SOME rendering and compression that needs to take place -- on your menus, for instance. Though, if you're using the correct export settings from Vegas, the video itself won't need to be. Assuming, of course, that it's under 70 minutes long.

If you give DVDA files that are compliant with the project and will fit on the disc, it won't recompress.

There are some cases where DVDA overreports the finished file size, in this case prepare anyway without optimizing and check the finished folder size.
