Hello, I've seen that Sony stop the production of superbit dvd (i've discover this format with this news)
Is there a way to encode in superbit in Vegas?
Or what are the parameters to enter manually?
To the best of my knowledge, a Superbit DVD is simply one on which they omit most or all of the bonus materials, and usually use a static menu instead of an animated one. Then they make use of the extra space by encoding the main movie at a higher bitrate than usual.
So, yeah, you could easily make a Superbit DVD with Vegas -- just use a higher bitrate than you normally would. Keep in mind, though, that the higher the bitrate on a burned DVD, the harder it will be for a lot of DVD players to keep up (ie, it might stutter).
Interesting. These things have been around for several years, but when I asked at my Saturday morning coffee club meeting (where not one member actually drinks coffee, by the way) not a single person among the 23 who showed up this morning had ever HEARD of Superbit.
This obviously shows that people who don't drink coffee don't know anything about Superbit. It also seems to show that they don't advertise it very well.
Superbit wasnt really all that much of a push considering many DVD players couldnt play abck such high bitstremas without spewing and coughing up and falling over..
even though mpg2 SD DVD is rated at 10k kbps, not many can hand streams larger than 8kbps (excl audio)
So even if you encode your DVD to variable 9800high, 8000avg, 6000min you have more of a chance of a failed disc due to the the fact some drives cant stream these high bits
ideally, one would encode to a constant 8k, but even that nukes itself sometimes.. so with the lack of compatibility and the lack of sales, it pretty much died in the arse..
