I am trying to burn an AVCHD file (1080/60i) to my hard drive. I am using Sony Vegas 11. Can someone tell me what the best rendering settings to use? Vegas gives me a long list of options and I have tried some, but I am just not getting good results.

Thanks
Gary

There is no overall "best" setting. It entirely depends on what you want to do with the resulting file.

How do you want to use this render?

I want to burn it to a Blu-ray disc. My DVD Architect does not work. I am using Roxio

Everything as described depends on how Roxio burns Blu-ray disks. I am assuming here that you want to burn a disk that will play in a Blu-ray player, not a video file on a Blu-ray data formatted disk.

A good guess for an output video format would be to use one of the the rendering templates within Vegas for DVDA Blu-ray output. These are designed to match the various formats that the Blu-ray standard addresses. Then, if you are fortunate, Roxio will not re encode the video when making a Blu-ray disk and use the video file as-is.
