OK, don't beat me for asking this question. Disclaimer: I have searched many posts and visited many websites. Other websites don't help enough because this is a vegas specific question. Older posts haven't helped enough because there are some contradictory views and newer versions of vegas seem to make some older comments irrelevant.
So, as I get ready to render my latest DVD I am considering my source material and final viewer options. I obviously want the best quality, but I can't decide what to do. My obsessive compulsive disorder kicked in and I have paralysis by analysis. See the flow chart at the end of my post to see why.
To make this as basic as possible, this is my situation.
I have four main source types:
1-regular DV shot on a Sony TRV-120 camcorder
2-HDV shot on a Sony HC3 in 1080i
3-stills shot on a digital rebel (6mp)
4-some graphics/text that I can render at whatever format/resolution I choose
I have three main viewing options:
1-HD widescreen LCOS (My house)
2-Lots of family w/ CRT's
3-some friends/family w/ computer viewing
Now, since this DVD is for my family and I will default to future viewing quality over current. I will let viewing option one trump the others. I noted the others for explanation of the 3240 options.
So, with these different source materials, with the desire to get the best quality possible rendering to standard DVD and playing on an HD widescreen (1080i) via component or hdmi cables from a progressive scan DVD player...what settings should I choose (see next post for exact questions)?
Thanks,
Carson
