Renderization on Sony Vegas

[unforgiv3n82]

Hi, I'm making a dvd on sony vegas, i already have edited the video and audio,
the total lenght of the video is 2 hours and 10 minutes,
and i want to split it in two DVDs (1 hour each) for best quallity.

But now i have multiple options and templates for rederization
my video is in 16:9, and my questions are:

- wich is best: NTSC or PAL??

- and a guide for the best rederization SETTING

Thanks in advance

Did you just make up a word, 'renderization'?

But go to Google type in "Bitrate Calculator" and that will give you some insight on what they should be for out-maxing the quality.

Being that you are in Chile, I'm willing to guess that your camcorder is NTSC but you should only create a DVD that your camcorder is given in.

There are a bunch of great walkthrough/tutorials on YouTube if you search!

A little while ago I made a DVD using Sony Vegas, PAL and NTSC it shoudn't change the quality, because that actually depends on the DVD standars from your country. I used PAL and on every single seting I made sure that it was at the highest level, and I didn't loose any quality at all, if you downloaded the DVD from Argentina you can see it yourself!!

Thanks man, i was thinking on doing it PAL too.

Usually leaving the format as is, is the easy way out.
You can check the format beforehand using an application like medainfo or gspot.

Or you can easily find it out using the Match file option in the Project settings on Vegas.

When you make pal dvd from ntsc files it change quality, too ntsc from pal.. and why?

PAL = 25p/sec
NTSC = 29,97p/sec

and where will be that missing 4,97picture ?

If I edit something, I save in mpeg2, you can choose ntsc, or pal and 16:9 also in the properties and in rendering too. I think if a video is 16:9 its not good to convert to 4:3.
If you want to split into 2 dvds, you can just insert the half of the video and in rendering tick save only the loop area, thats a very easy way to split, I guess.
(I dont know much more like what's the difference between ntsc-pal, I must learn too.. )
