As such, you ended up transcoding those files to MPEG2 in Vegas before you authored the disc. That's just another subject, there are so many playback options now, but unless it is required due to project size, the one I avoid is BD media due to expense and slow burns.Ĭlick to expand.For the former, I discovered that the MainConcept AVC files as rendered in Sony Vegas will never be compliant with the DVD Architect Pro's AVC protocol regardless of the resolution and bitrate. mxf plays back at 30-40 mbps VBR on the PS3. It's so much faster than burning rewritable BD for small projects, and at any bitrate you want from the flash drive. mxf onto a USB flash drive, or DVDA5 and AVCHD-Patcher to play from a PS3 with full menus, even 24p playback, from a USB flashdrive. I don't believe you can choose 18mbps AVC with the Sony AVC encoder in Vegas (as I recall), at the least it won't smart render in DVDA5 at anything other than the template settings.Īnd yes, 39mbps mpeg-2 is going to look great on 25GB Blu-ray media for sure, but 18mbps AVC (from DVDA5 encodes) is about nearly as good, a lot more efficient, and you can put it on AVCHD (regular DVD blank media) and because of the low bit rate plays back on a lot of Blu-ray standalones, with full menu functionality, 24p, chapters etc.įor proof of concept, I actually just use TSMuxer and AVCHD-ME to put native. It's slow, but if you have the time for quality renders, it's better.Ĭlick to expand.It seems to be a 'different' implementation. This was the best quality AVCHD method, better than mpeg-2, and better quality than the faster but poor quality low bitrate encoders in Vegas, (Mainconcept and Sony AVC). The quality of those disks were very high. mxf files, Vegas will smart render these very quickly, thus a blu-ray authored disk would go through only one re-encode, from mxf to AVC, by DVDA5. Although it is slow, and not too many adjustable parameters, there is one parameter that it does give you control over, the bit rate! It lets you choose whatever rate you want! I eventually settled for 18mbps, which meant AVCHD disks could play from regular DVD media in quite a few standalone blu-ray players. I also found through trial and error, that the DVDA5 AVC video rendering although painfully slow and with not too many parameters to choose from, actually rendered with incredible quality, better than the encoders in Vegas, either the Mainconcept or Sony AVC. It would thereafter smart render it without re-encoding. ![]() ![]() Then when the movie file with audio was imported into DVDA5, I would point the selection of the audio track over to the separate audio file. It's been a while since I used DVDA5, but as I recall, I was able to have it not re-encode the 5.1 audio by rendering out the audio in Vegas separately. ![]()
