I'm sure the answer is here somewhere but I couldn't find it ;)
been sitting on a short truckers set I shot with tony's hv30. it's a m2t file. I want to render as HD with chapters and my audio but not a true blueray if that's possible. I just bought a western digital live plus. it doesn't do blueray but it does
Media Formats:
- AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MKV (h.264, x.264, AVC,
MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), TS/TP/M2T (MPEG1/2/4, AVC, VC-1) MP4/MOV (MPEG4,
h.264), M2TS, WMV9
so what settings do I use to edit? ie what project properties and how/what to render as? since it was shot with the hv30 I assume for project properties I want HDV-1080-60i?? my tv is only 720 but will downscale to that from 1080. I was told the end result should be mkv. only mkv experience I have is limited to ripping sd dvds and encoding with Handbrake. I don't see the option to render as mkv in vegas.
I am very familiar with editing SD video in Vegas just never done HD. for sd stuff I use dvd lab to add chapters, mux the audio and make the dvd. never done chapters with vegas/architect.

Your source footage is HDV an M2t file.Project properties should be 1440 x 1080 60i.render to Main concept mpeg 2 and in drop down choose HDV 1440 x 1080 .

if you want a smaller file size you can import the audio and video to Vegas, synch it up and then output as either 720p or 1080p with the Sony AVC 'internet' codec. these are good quality files with smaller file sizes.
If you want maximum quality you would do what beatkilla said but i would go into advanced render and turn on 2 pass encoding. By adding audio it will force Vegas to rerender the video, there may be a program out there that allows you to add audio without rerendering the video.

I also have a question to vegas rendering.
I'd convert full hd mts videos to mpeg2/16:9/720*576
at other converting programs I can choose pan, so there wont be black part at sides, but in vegas I dont know an automatic soultion, set for this. Any idea?
Or can you recommend other good mts-mpeg2 converting programs than total vid conv?
Sothink video converter looks good, but I dont have patch for vers 3.3 :P
thanks ;)

In Vegas Project Properties there is a box to select for something like"automatically adjust video to better match project or render settings" that will get rid of the bars but make sure your using project properties that are widescreen DV if staring with HD material.Also render to a Widescreen setting.
