Render Settings - Mixed Format > Mixed Destination

Im trying to sort out what I will deliver in so I can start to do test renders of my mixed format timelines (P2, AVCHD, HDV)

This post : http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/24/898751

sounds like its saying that these settings:

System Tab
Format: MP4 file format (*.mp4)

Video Tab
Video format: AVC
Frame size: High definition (1280x720)
Profile: Baseline
Entopy coding: CAVLC
Frame rate: 29.970 (NTSC)
Field order: None (progressive)
Pixel aspect ratio: 1.0000
Bit rate (bps): 6,000,000

Audio Tab
Audio format: AAC
Sample rate (Hz): 48,000
Bot rate (bps): 128,000
Audio coding mode: Stereo

will yield a file that can A. be streamed online or burned to a data disk for distribution. B. be used in a DVD authoring program for high qual HD dvd.

is that right?

In V9 --For upload to YouTube or Vimeo or such, I use SONY AVC to render regardless of what is on the timeline. If the timeline includes any HD footage or you want to upload for HD then I use one of the templates "Internet 16:9" -- right now for YouTube I'm using the "Internet 16:9 HD 30p 1920 x 1080" with great results.

I would not use the same (MP4) file for DVD authoring, I use MainConcept Mpeg-2. I don't own anything Blu-Ray so I do not output anything in HD for DVD. Generally I don't do DVD's of over an hour. I customize the standard template "DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen video stream" to include audio and to adjust the average bitrate to 8,300,000 bps and checking 2 pass. This, I believe, gives me about all the quality that can be had without going to Blue Ray.

By the way, my AVCHD looks really stunning on my 23" Acer LCD when I output using MainConcept MPEG-2 with the HDV 1080-60i template customized to output for 1920 x 1080 with Variable Bitrate two pass at an average bitrate of 22,000,000.

Yep. I use Sony AVC (choose one of the internet templates) for web and MainConcept MPEG2 (choose one of the DVD templates.)

has anyone gone the "data dvd" route and used the "web video" for everything? like building an interface with flash or xhtml. I wonder if there is any way to get a data dvd to play on desktop dvd players. I have a project where most of the users would be computer based but some may not be.

desktop dvd players.

Do you mean standalone DVD players for use with Televisions or DVD players used in computers? If computer based, I'm sure you could code html or flash to play video files off a DVD data disc (not sure how you'd kick off the html or flash) but I don't think you could from a standalone DVD player designed to be used with a television. But why not use DVD Architect to make a DVD that will play on both? Wouldn't that work? Is it the size problem?

how do you make a dvd that will play on both?

YOu seem to want to render in Vegas to a file format you can upload to Youtube as HD and use the same file to create a dvd data disc that will play on a standard dvd player. I don't see that as possible.

What I was saying is very basic. You can make an authored DVD that will play in a computer DVD drive as well as a regular DVD player. Neither would be HD. I suppose you could use the files on that DVD disc (they are mpeg files) to upload to Youtube but it would not be HD. I believe it would be 720 x 480.
