ABSTRACT
Back in the “good ol’ days” of broadcasting, editors had to worry about two types of output and one resolution/frame rate: Beta SP for broadcast delivery and VHS replication, or DV for broadcast and VHS replication. Audio for the disc, regardless of whether it is Surround, stereo, or mono, will ultimately be an AC-3 file. Two-pass encoding allows the encoder to scan the media in the project, allocating bits for which sections need more attention in the encoding process, as opposed to single-pass encoding, which merely encodes what is put into the encoder. Corporate intranets and the Web once were very disparate delivery destinations. Vegas enables users to generate constant bitrate or variable bitrate files. Vegas has the option of either rendering an entire project or merely doing a print to tape. The difference is that with a print to tape, Vegas temp-renders sections of the project that require recompression.
