So what's wrong with using AVC straight out of Vegas for Youtube or my website? The answer is nothing. The results are good, and there are already excellent tutorials about this: http://eugenia.queru.com/2007/11/09/exporting-with-vegas-for-vimeo-hd/
What if I want higher quality back from Youtube than I am getting now, but I am using consumer equipment, Vegas Movie Studio, and I don't want an overly technical, time consuming solution?
The following tutorial was made for you, with the help of a few users on the Vegas Pro forum. It guides you step-by-step from your completed Vegas project, to rendering an intermediate, and final encoding using Handbrake x264. Hope you enjoy the results of over a year of testing, and feel free to post constructive feedback here or on Youtube.
