Full quality rendering in sony vegas

[Augy]

Hello everyone,
I've been doing some shooting for a bit of a time and tried to edit that. Everyting was going fine to this point, but it seems that I just can't find how to render the footage in full quality. The problem is that even though I choose mpeg 2 format, HDV output type, 1440x1080 res, 25 progressive frames and deinterlace methode : none, I get an image with lower resolution squares . I matched it to the original footage snapshot and it seems that my rendered footage is deinterlaced, though I edited with progressive setting... Well, the instruciton manual says that even though footage is shot in 25PF mode it is recorded as a 50i.
Could anybody help me with this?

Whack up the bitrate to about 5 - 8.

You can find it in "File > Render As.." then in the bit-rate tab.

Just type 5 M
(make sure there is a space)
or anywere above that but keep it under 10-15 I'd say just to keep a lower file size and render time.

Greg,

These are SD bitrates, not HDV.

Dude, you've told it to output progressive, but not deinterlace. You need to tell it to blend if you were shooting in 25P. That is because while it shoots at 25p, it splits each one of those 25 frames into two fields, and writes that to tape at 50i. It writes even lines as field 1, odd as field 2. So you blend the two fields back into one.

Also, Im guessing that you are choosing the HDV preset. Should be 25mbps, not 5.

Blending doesn't simply reconstruct a frame, it mixes every 2-line pair into one and then doubles them. This actually halves the vertical resolution and only makes sense when converting interlaced video from one format to another, like HD to SD.

Augy should let us know what he is rendering for and then we can help him better.

And he should post in the proper subforum.

Your settings are correct. Deinterlace Method only applies to transitions and frame speed changes anyway....your ouput should be the same resolution as your input.

Post before and after shots.

So, he needs to weave (do nothing). My bad.

It all depends what he wants to do with the output. Until now, it is not clear at all why his output is below par, based on what is settings were, it seems so illogical.

Wow! I'm impressed. How did you film it with hardly any grain/noise whereas it's all dark?

What are you referring to?
