Okay I'm trying to render to the best quality I can using vegas 8 pro.

Okay what's the best format for rendering for the internet and also what's the best format for rendering to dvd.


also how do I make professional dvd menus in dvd architect, if you could give me some pointers.
 
So you want to render to the best quality you can? Or do you want to render to the best quality for internet viewing and / or DVD viewing?

Can you provide a bit more information on where the vid will be viewed online? Youtube? Vimeo? etc... As for DVD, the standard mpeg2 NTSC template works just fine, you may need to tweak for interlaced / progressive and framerate, but it's the best setting out of the box.

As for DVD menus, I would suggest starting with the Vegas 8 manual to help you get familiar with DVD Architect. If you're looking for advanced menu ideas, check out the VASST Absolute Training Volume 6 - Going Deeper into DVD Architect. www.vasst.com
 
did you look at my videos chenopup? They look good dont they? I'm just trying to get the best quality You can get with a dvx100a and Sony Vegas 8 and I know this is the best place for advise and thank you for your help so far.
 
Hi Debonaire,

YouTube takes the content and encodes it, but from what I've given it, good Windows Media (WMV) 640X480, deinterlaced at a high bit rate - (2pass VBR) 1300 Kb/s for Video and 96/Kb/s for audio. I have TMPGEnc (Tsunami Xpress) which is a dynamite encoder and worth the $100 bucks to encode to web and DVD.

Very good results on YouTube are also coming from H.264 from similar encoding numbers.

DVD encoding is MPEG2 (Xpress does this, too, and you can check bit rates that you need to encode to based upon the amount you have (it's dependent upon how much you have to fit to the disc) at with a calculator at Videohelp:

Making mens is like writing a detective novel, you work backward. Figure out where you want to end first.

Some really great and involved menus are move involved than the DVDs. You might not be talking that level of complexity, some menus just begin as Photoshop designs that are screen grabs of the content.

Not to mention the numerous Hollywood DVD menus that seem to design this way. You tend to see it on older movies being transferred to DVD where there possibly isn't much budget for redesigning a really killer 3D or After Effects menu but start pulling out some of your DVDs and look at what was done there. Mike Gunter is right, much of it can be done with some nicely layed out Photoshop images.
