The question of the century: How do I compile 1080p in Sony Vegas?

[B]Read this[/B]: [U]The video has to be a suitable size for youtube.[/U]

I'm always seeing 1080p (1920x1080) gameplay videos on youtube, but for the life of me, I cannot find any suitable rendering settings in sony vegas to do it. All of the videos are enormous, shit quality, or have no sound due to the source AVI files I've used.

I've searched google for methods, but I've mostly been finding shit forums posts and lame tutorials that teach you how to compile 1480x1080 ([I]lols guiz, it's 1080p!!![/I])

If anybody could find me a (good) tutorial, or simply explain a method of how to do it, I would be very grateful.

Note: can any mods fix the typo in the title?

for youtube 720p > *

Try WMV 1080p 24fps, that's what I use for 720p, see if it works for 1080p.

Don't use vegas if you're concerned about quality. I export 1920x1080, uncompressed out of vegas. Then I encode with MeGUI to x264 .mkv which I upload to Youtube.

If you really want to use Vegas. Pick WMV, go to custom, Video tab. Set the image size to custom. Set width to 1920, height to 1080. Make sure pixel aspect is 1.000 (Square). Framerate should be what your source material is to avoid skipping. Youtube has shit 1080p, so it doesn't need to be great. Just choose 'CBR' in the mode. Go to the Bitrate Tab. Set it to like 5-6M. Youtube is about 3.5mbps at 1080p, so it's not that critical.

Audio isn't too important. I usually upload 192kbps 48khz.

Also, Youtube's 1080p is shit, if I haven't said it already. It will take the 1920x1080 video and discard deinterlace is automatically. Which makes it 1920x540 basically, then it's resized back and compressed to shit.

Thanks for the help, I'll try these things.

I use MOV at 1080p, filesizes are small and youtube accepts them fine.

I refuse to install quicktime. That program is like a virus.

How is it like a virus? It's just like any other program, I don't see what the issue is. I'm sure I have it installed on my PC, but only for iTunes.

Yeah, and this trojan named "Steam" is being detected by my antivirus all the time. What's up with that?

Also the 1440x1080p thing, that has to do with HDV. Which in order to fit it to a 25mbps data-rate for video tapes reduces the resolution but resizes it on the output to 1920x1080.

So, it's actually a VERY common resolution for people with HDV camera's and are looking to edit in HDV, then export to Tape and mail it to a colorist or editor.

[quote="What I said about MagicISO"]I like this because it has the charm of not being one of the shitty programs that when you install it, makes your computer think the only reason it has to operate is because of the program. They shit all over your appdata and registry, put a bunch of icons on your desktop, make a bunch of start menu entries, and basically take control of the computer. But the problem is: I just want to mount ISO's, dammit.[/quote]
