Rendering for DVD Architec1 3.0

ScheffFrog wrote on 8/4/2006, 6:21 AM

I have always rendered my movies in V6 in MPEG2 BEST and AUDIO at 44. I wonder why when then using DVD Architect 3.0 it almost always RE-RENDERS the audio and VIDEO? Is there a rendering in V6 that sets the movies up for DVD Architect so that I can by pass the re-rendering process in DVD Architect?

Audio should be at 48. Audio for video is always 48 and that is the DVD standard.

Otherwise, you might be able your bitrate too high for the amount of material ona DVD.

Also, the audio needs to be rendered in one operation (at 48 kHz), and then you render the video WITHOUT the audio, as a separate operation. Two different, separate renders. Otherwise DVDA will re-render.

If you render in Vegas, DVDA should NEVER have to re-render. Ever.

Also, rendering in Vegas, as you are doing, is almost always the preferred way to do things, so keep doing it that way.

IF you use the DVD Architect templates, yes.

I like to put short video clips as the Menu background (e.g., panning a photo). If I point the background to a .mpg (rendered in Vegas, say) file will it also not render that (I have been putting .avi clips)?

DVDA will render or re-encode almost anything associated with a menu (there's only one situation where it won't, and since no one does that...).

So in the case of a menu background, I find it always best to hand DVDA a DV AVI (or in some cases an uncompressed AVI) file rather than MPEG-2.
