"Render As" question at DVinfo.net

For all you who produce DVD's, what do you "Render As" in Vegas? .avi, .wmv etc?

What is the best format for using to make DVD's?

You can render an AVI and let DVDA do the conversion to MPEG-2 for you.
I prefer to render MPEG-2 for video (DVD Architect NTSC video stream) and AC-3 for audio (Stereo DVD) as I have a lot more control.
If the video exceeds 70 min. in length, then the bitrate has to be tweaked and I prefer to do this myself.
