• Best render settings for youtube?
    15 replies, posted
I'm basically looking for best render settings to render my video, by best I mean good quality, not too big file size and decent frame rate. I'm using Sony Vegas Pro 10. My video is 1280x720 at 25 fps recorded with fraps.
Experiment with Sony AVC/MP4 inside of sony vegas. It's not the best, but it's the best you'll get from something inside of sony vegas.
Render it in as high quality as possible, then encode with x264 to mkv. On a slow preset you can most certainly ramp it down from a few gigabytes to a couple of hundred megabytes. My twelve minute 720p beat hazard videos on fast preset, over 8gB of raw footage encoded into a 350mB mkv with minor not noticable loss.

Well thats not what i meant. Encode it in avi in as high quality as possible. Download x264 from [url]http://x264.fushizen.eu/[/url] Create a batch file, preferably in the same folder as the x264 exe and movie, name it whatever.bat. Copy paste this into it, i think output and input is pretty self explanatory. [code]x264 --preset veryslow --crf 19 --acodec vorbis --aquality 100 --output output.mkv input.avi pause[/code] Start the batch file, and wait for it to get done.

If you want better results you'll need to go for an external program. I use a batch script for x264 encoding, but you could use Easy264, MeGUI, Leimings GUI, etc [editline]13th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=naos;32270241]Well thats not what i meant.

Doesn't have to, works for me without. If not, then download and install avisynth [code]AVISource("INPUT") ConvertToYV12()[/code] save it as whatever.avs, and change the input in the batch file into the avisynth file [editline]13th September 2011[/editline] Don't use a GUI based encoder, especially not meGUI.
I use a batch script and I based it around the idea of using avsynth scripts, but I hope I can remove them and just use the .avi
It works fine for me. I only use avisynth when there are multiple sources, like longer fraps recordings.
Thanks for the replies, I'll try all of the mentioned above.
I've ran into some problems: [img]http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/9113/derpdurr.png[/img] Also when I downloaded x264 from [url]http://x264.fushizen.eu/[/url] it didn't work, so I got the 10bit-depth one from here [url]http://x264.nl/[/url] if that makes any difference.
Does, the one from x264 doesn't support vorbis and has by far more bugs and less features then the one from fushizen. Which one gave you this error message? And i think you can remove the aquality line completely.

The reason for the error message is that it sucks and doesnt even support it. Lets rather focus on getting the one from fushizen working. In what way doesn't it work?

Now when I tried to extract it with 7-zip the batch file works fine. And it's taking about 10 minutes to convert a 10 second clip, but the quality and file size is great. Thanks for helping me out.
Yes, it can take some time depending on what cpu you have, but its most certainly worth the wait. You can if you want to change the preset to fast, which will encode it a lot faster, but wont compress as good (a lot bigger filesize). Although i wouldn't suggest it, just let do its work. You can probably still browse and talk to people whilst its encoding, it wont harm the encode process, but might take a few minuter longer, although not many.
