Until recently I was not having this problem. I have regular DV 60i footage, bottom field first, etc footage.
I use Vegas 8c to edit and render out using the supplied DVDA widescreen Mpeg template. The audio is encoded to AC3 with Vegas. The Template seems to be Variable bit single pass with Max bit rate of 9,000,000 avg (I forget) and min bit rate of 192kps. Is this the correct default? Or did I accidently mess up the default?
When DVDA gets it, I make menus, etc, and then prepare project, it always want to re-render the video. Looking under "advanced" it's default seems to be 8,000,000 for the video. It does not say anything about variable bit, ax-avg-min, etc.
The only thing I've changed was, in the Vegas 8 rendering, after selecting the DVDA widescreen DVD template, was I selected 2 pass encoding when I rendered, was selecting - 2 pass encoding. Is that what is screwing things up?
Thanks for any help. It seems I've seen other people have this problem, but I tried a quick search on here and it didn't seem to come up with exactly the same problem. The only thing I found was some one said to make progressive first - Something I've tried with bad results on any motion. Lately I've mostly been doing HDV to bluray, and I have not had the problem with DVDA wanting to re-render the video, just the audio sometimes- which isn't a bit deal. Also on this DV to DVD project, the re-render by DVDA looks terrible, more jaggies and kind of a watery flicker.
