Rendering AVC/H.264 Within Sony Vegas

Somewhat higher quality:

Thanks to YouTube's incredibly stupid compression, the video looks like crap.

YouTube, why not take a page from Vimeo? They have full 720p HD content, and yet pulling off nice 640x480 is a pain here. Gah!

Back to the description:

Did this video for a friend, but if you are wondering how to render true H.264 within Sony Vegas, this should help.

one suggestion, *PLEASE* turn off the option in your screen recorder that makes that horrible "clickclick" sound when you click the mouse.

This is'nt H.264 this is just the regular MPEG-4 Codec Setting

Dude... Whats your resolution? Like 15x10?

Okay.. So.. I rendered a video out EXTERNALLY, using a Mpeg4-AVC rendereerrrrrrrr or sumfin, anywhore.. Sony vegas won't open the file. Help?

@Sakotius Yeah I learnt recently while studying the HTML5 video tag that H.264 is the codec and MP4 is just a container :L

@MythOfEchelon

9 months old :p but no. MP4 and H.264 MP4 are different. MP4 Sony AVC is a very badly coded version of H.264 that looks just like the normal MP4. H.264 (Using the X.264 encoder) is around double the quality of standard MP4 with no filesize increase. An example would be that 4mb/s bitrate h.264 would look like 8mb/s standard MP4 without the increased filesize

@Sakotius It's the same thing, isn't it?

@Jovan14606 yeah me too haha

i was using the Sony AVC option until i saw this video i guess i will start using the Mainconcept option now however i still don't get why the Sony AVC option has

templates that say internet or blu-ray if they were designed for the PSP

i also don't really understand the difference between the two and why some people said Sony AVC options were very bad and to stick with the Mainconcept it's because

im still very new with MP4 I've always been an AVI with DiVX or XViD in the past lol...

How do you get h264 files to even play in Vegas 8.0. They never work for me.
