sony vegas rendering too big

[misteroldschool]

i just rendered a 5 minute video in sony vegas and it came out as 1gb, i made the same video in windows movie maker and its only 220mb, the vegas video is much better quality than the windows one but is there a happy medium in there somewhere? cause for the 1gb video youtube is saying a 556minute upload time :\ so ya is there any way to make vegas render videos in a smaller size?

in Vegas, render as .wmv @ 6Mbps.

I render as a .MP4 and a 6 min video comes out at 184mb

It's all about the bitrate, bring it down until you start losing quality and use THAT!

I use .wmv @ 720p and files are small.

Check out my photobucket for Sony Vegas settings. A 5 minute video will render at about 150mb.

My settings in Premiere Pro are:

4min vid = about 180Mb

Type: Video
Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 1 Pass
Target Bitrate Mbps: 6
Max Bitrate Mbps: 9
Resolution: 1280x720
Frame rate: 30

Type: Audio
Codec: MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 44100 Hz

YouTube re-encodes it very fast, as the settings are almost identical.

3M bitrate in .wmv here!

i did this and it worked quite well, i also did MP4 and it worked well for making ti a small size but the quality was not so good, im going to try 3Mbps next time and see how that goes

how do i make it widescreen(?) how do i make it so that the video takes up the entire screen not just the middle in other words?

a small part of the top and bottom of the screen is getting cut off for me, is this avoidable at all or should i just live with it?

unless the camera has an option to record in 16:9 format this is unavoidable its one or the other im afraid

My widescreen is faked by unchecking "Maintain Aspect Ratio" it stretches it width ways and you lose the black bars.No ones ever seemed to notice and if they have, they havent commented. I also con YT into thinking my videos are HD by rendering them so...
You can also convert your final froduct to a .flv format which reduces size considerably, Vegas wont do this so use some 3rd party freeware. Keep experementing until you get it about right...
