Vegas users, whats the best DVD settings?

When I've attempted this in TMPGEnc an error message is generated stating that the selected resolution is beyond the DVD standard...and forces me back to the encode selection window, until I select a DVD compliant resolution.

I encoded an MPEG2 stream @ 1920x1080 last night before i posted. I notice you're using this v3 Xpress or something. I'm not familar with it but in version 2.5 which i use... you simply unlock the standard template profile and then go your hardest with all the relevant settings... it DOES do it. I highly doubt in v3 (a newer version) that it would have less functionality. Though these days i wouldnt rule i tout O_o :)

Is Avisynth plug-ins a downloadable, pay for, or part of Vegas, I am not at my studio computer right now so I cant check -->>>

The Avisynth/Virtualdub denoise filters are open-source and generally free. Do a Google search for Virtualdub filters and you should find plenty.

The adaptor for loading Virtualdub/Avisynth filters in Vegas (PluginPac) can be found at:

To Daymon: I must correct myself!! You're correct, TMPGEnc 3 XPress encoder does encode MPEG2 HD.... I just went back into it and did a short render. At this rate, every DV editing app will handle HDV before the end of the year!!! If it doesn't rain it pours.....
