Render question
Do you render and save to AVI or a Mpf format when your getting ready to burn a DVD in DVD Architect 3?

You can do either but you will get slightly better results if you render an MPEG video stream and AC3 audio stream directly from Vegas. Use the DVD Architect MPEG2 templates that Vegas provides.

Could someone explain what DVDA is?

Alex,
DVDA = (Sony) DVD Architect...at least I hope it does as that's how I've been interpreting it over the last couple of years. |
It's simply much easier to type DVDA instead of the full "DVD Architect". (Plus, you don't need to know how to spell "Architect" :-) )
|
Just bear in mind that it's also a porn-industry reference, hence the reason many are loathe to use the "DVDA" moniker. Makes some folks snigger a bit. I tend to use "DVD A" instead, FWIW.
|
Yes a very bad choice of acronyms I think.

I use uncompressed AVI
I've been rendering TV :30's to uncompressed AVI's and then re-rendering out again in DVD architect. This yields a razor sharp output so far as I can tell.
The MPEG streams are compressed and result in less data on the DVD then when I re-render from AVI, so I'm convinced there is more compression if you go straight to MPEG. |

Of course there is. You render to DVavi first, you're going to a 4:1:1 sample, and then you render to MPEG from that, and you've got 4:2:0, which means it's really 4:1:0 because it's so starved at encode input. Always render from the timeline to MPEG if you can. |
