I've got a 5 minute project I need to burn to DVD.
Is there any advantage to using 2-pass VBR encoding in Vegas to render the MPEG-2 video with a max bitrate set at 8mbps, or should I just go with the faster CBR at 8mbps?
I'm also finding that my DVD's are looking a bit brighter than the DV I'm rendering from Vegas. For example, if I burn a DVD with NTSC color bars (generated and rendered in Vegas) and load that into my DVD player the bars are brighter than if I play back color bars from a Criterion Collection DVD. Alternatively I tried rendering an AVI and just importing that into DVDA, but I had the same results. (In all instances I was careful to use the highest quality settings for all renderings)
