| |  Can I render H.264 from Vegas 6.0?
Hey all
Just a quick question; Can I and How do I render in H.264 from Sony Vegas? I tried "render as" and chose Sony AVC, and the quality was appalling (I even put the quality right up, I think). I think I prolly did something wrong; so just a quick question; can you export to H.264 inside Vegas 6.0 and what should I set it to to get the best possible quality?
Thanks in advance |

Yes. I am no m264 expert but I believe the main concept encoder / codec that comes with vegas is m264. Also if you install the latest qt on your pc then you can render m264 qt files too.

Cheers, so from the Dropdown menu, which should I chose, because like I said, the "AAC" (Which, according to the Help file, is H.264) looks really bad in terms of quality... >_> Or do I export it as an .mov file, open it in Quicktime (Guess I better go by QT Pro then...) and then export a lossless .mov to H.264??? (May have just answered my own question >_>)... |

I don't know Vegas, but I would have thought it would go along the lines of exporting as AVI, then selecting the codec as the compression. |

Sony AVC/AAC is for PSP export. Use MainConcept AVC/AAC for everything else. |
