After everyone has raved about Vegas, I gave it a try. Editing with it is really good but...


What are the ways to get best quality 30p from my canon 24mbps pf30/60i container?


I see "Internet"@16mbps & mp4 @20mbps. Is that it? I looked at custom but didn't see any other choices.


I'm not clear on the mp4 settings. What are others using for non-AVCHD disc/bluray?

Hi


Personally I output to Lagarith (lossless) from Vegas and then using AVISynth to x264 encode the video. x264 gives many more settings than you see exposed by Sony's own encoder, and the MainConcept one they include is only a "lite" version, i.e. you don't all the options and settings required for many outputs.


x264 quality is super, it's free, has a bit of a learning curve but google 'MeGUI' for an interface that wraps around it.


Regards

First, what is your desired output format? Second, you can create your own preset, no need to use factory presets. Sony AVC goes up to 20 Mbit/s in versions up to 10d, and up to 26 Mbit/s in 10e (I need to verify the minor version letters). MainConcept AVC/MP4 goes up even higher, I haven't tried anything higher than 40 Mbit/s.

mp4 is my first choice.
