Any Vegas 5 users, what format are you using when you render a clip after editing video in 24PA, also what settings do you apply if MPEG or other? In other words, what is the best setting to render without a enormous .avi file
Depends on what your delivery medium is. If it's DVD, I render out using the MainConcept MPG file, DVD Architect templates. If it's for web streaming, I use WMV8 or WMV9 with whichever template is appropriate.
