1256*864
Vegas 9.0
No problems with audio.

I have like a pretty good quality render, but its gonna make the vid like 700mb for 20minutes. Is that bad? I'm sure it is.

o my gosh, flatscreen ress...  

open vegas otions, heres somwhere is option "project properties" ar somthing, ok now fill:
frame rate: 25fps/30fps (leave 30fps at maximum, dont try to make ir more.)
Wight/hight: 1256/864, dont try to change, you cant get better resoliution if your fraps setings filmed at this one (1256/864).
pixel ascpect ratio or somthing like that: 1.000 square.
rotation and etc by default.
Gama :1
rendering quality: best
deinterlace: none
pixels: 32
and remember to mark "start new projects with this setings"
save..

Then start to make your vid, croop and etc.. save and render.

Try change audio codex, but 35mb/min its prety normal size.

As I said I've done all guides, and still got bad results.
As for the project settings I'm fine with that. Its just the rendering settings.
And this test render I did was without audio :/ (10 second footage was 6mb)

Edit: With audio has the same size.

[Malicious]

screen your project setings.

btw, which format for file you choosing?

[Pepsi ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿]

.wmv seems to be best.
Whenever I try the old XViD Mpeg-4 option. It not only takes years to render, but comes out looking the same as the .wmv, but larger size.

U should rly try out the h.264 codec.
It works fine for me on win 7.

I'm guessing that ur problems are made by the sound compresion. When u don't compres audio, the file is getting rly large.
Btw, its normal that SV is rendering a 20min vid for like 4-5h [depends on the codec u use].
So just try to render small parts of ur move to check if its of with the quolity/size.

[Pepsi ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿]

I've been rendering a 10 second snippet, just to test. I'll try again with that codec, and I'm on XP  btw.
Lame MP3 just seems to error whenever i try it... so what audio codec should I use?

Also, vegas 9 makes this codec look so much more complicated then on the tutorial... should I just leave everything default? Or.. what? :[



PS:

Now its saying that this codec does not support the current render settings...

x.264 - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/853450/movie/ppowned.avi

[Pepsi ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿]

Omg tell me how to do that! :<

[Sirius92]

x264 is like screwed up totally on 9.0, I've been following Mek's guide and several guides and I get non-quality lost but almost the same file size, I'm using MainConcept AAC and the quality it's really good & I can turn 2.5gb into 180mb.

It's the first time I'm rendering or using any of these programs dunno what the fuck is wrong.

[Odene]

Ok.. U made me to check my render set up! Gah.. p;

Well, lets begin, so when u render a movie, u can do it in 2 ways. I checked many guides and did 2 setups that works for me fine.

1) U have to render it twice, 1pass and 2pass [it takes hell long, but the size is rly good
2) Render it ABR, i render it once, but i will get a bigger size, like 60 mega on a 500 mega vid

I don't haver much time so I'll just make screens of my render set up, and just try it out
This time we'll use the ABR type of render.

Save the video as .avi
Ofc change the frame rate for that w00t u like

ps. Don't switch anything on the x 264 analysis~ and rate~ config.


@Ninjaedit: I'm using SV 8

[Pepsi ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿]

The selected codec does not support these render settings.
Sigh..

[Pepsi ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿]

I tried to render uncompressed and the video doesn't show up, just the audio..
Any ideas?

P.S. I think I got it, nevermind..

[Odene]

U rendered it 1pass ?
If u won't compres the audio, the movie will be much bigger then is should be..

But still I don't get it why it don't work for u...

Ok, another idea, try to do it the exact same way as on my settings, this way we will find out if just the frame size don't work, or ur sv9/codeks are fucked up

@Edit: What was the problem ? ;>

[Pepsi ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿]

Even with ur reso i get same error.
Atm im trying to render uncompressed in vegas and compress in virtualdub. But the files turn out to be 2x the size from virtual dub.. :/ And bad quality..

[Odene]

If my render set up is blowing a error, I'm 100% siure that u got smt fucked up on the softwere..
Guess SV9, but the codeks can also be wrong..

[Pepsi ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿]

Whats the best sony vegas? Ill try to download it before I start editing.

[Odene]

I'm working on SV8, dunno w00t is the best one.. p;

[Pepsi ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿]

im downloading 5, im sure that was good.
Ok now i compressed 10 seconds with h264 and my fraps is so light and has strange flickering dark bits
