Vegas rendering size

Postby Sora no Honou 空の炎 » Sun Nov 29, 2009 2:49 am

I am new to the forum so bare with me here:

I have been trying to render an amv, and am trying to do so in avi format, but no matter what I try I either end up with a ridiculous file size, or an almost unwatchable quality. I have little knowledge of codecs, besides using divX in virtualdubmod when I was removing subs to reduce file size. I set divX as a codec in vegas after going to custom, video, video format, but the quality was atrocious, so I just set it to the default template again. I am just using the NTSC DV default template right now... I am guessing I need to do something else. Please help asap. I need to do this soon.

Go with the ridiculous file size. It's not something to be scared of: having a gigantic, full-resolution, maximum quality master copy on hand is never bad. What you do then is take this master copy and compress it to a distributable codec (such as XviD or DivX) in another step.

Read this to be sure your Vegas export is as good as it can be:

For compressing that into a distributable copy, start here:

Thanks, I will have to use these this for next time. I am really new to the community, so the whole amvapp thing was unknown to me, but it looks really worth it. Thanks for helping. The tuts are really straight forward.
