![]() 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. I don't work for VEGAS Creative Software.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. Here is a table describing all the templates Sony Media Software has created for you in the render dialog for the professional MPEG plugin:Ī volunteer forum moderator as of. Even if you plan on replacing the audio with PCM or AC-3, you will need to import muxed MPEG files.Īlso, the project format has to match the source type (the audio and video project format are set in the Optimize DVD dialog.) For instance, if you bring a 4:3 MPEG-2 file into a 16:9 DVDA project, this file will be re-encoded because the source and project formats do not match. * Please note that elementary MPEG streams are not supported as a source format and will not load. 30 or less fields in every GOP (group of pictures). ![]() 36 or less fields in every GOP (group of pictures).Must be 16 bit, 48 kHz, stereo uncompressed.Data rate must be in the range of 64 kbps to 448 kbps inclusive.Here are the precise settings needed (meaning if the file varies from these requirements, it will be recompressed by DVD Architect, the prepare phase will take longer, and the quality may degrade): Note: Both the Sony Creative Software MPEG-2 encoder and the Sony Media Software AC-3 encoder have "DVD Architect friendly" render templates- use those templates without any custom settings modifications and you will have a "no-recompress file for DVD Architect" (unless it is too big to fit on a DVD). This type of file is broadly defined as a "no-recompress file for DVD Architect" If the files were encoded with the proper parameters, the files will not be recompressed by DVD Architect. You can import MPEG-2 video, and PCM or AC-3 audio files (from SF apps or from other apps) into DVD Architect. How can I assure they will not be recompressed? I don't want my MPEG-2, AC-3, and PCM files to be recompressed by DVD Architect. The following article first appeared at but is no longer available there.
