That would be the one which works for you then!

There is no "best" for all projects but you will generally settle for what ends up looking ( and sounding) good for you based on a bit of trial and error
Im using the MPEG2, HDV1080-50i at the moment but noticed that the audio is mpeg2 rather than AC3. Is this a problem? I notice a slight decrease in quality, not a big deal but im wondering if there is a better output format.[/QUOTE]
The main formats are LCM ( CD quality), mpeg2 and AC3 : LCM is the best , but it is very space consuming. AC3 combines smaller size with great quality. I think mpeg2 is in between
AC3 encoding should be but is not always available in non " full " versions.I however thought Sony now had it in all versions...Perhaps DVD Architect Studio does??

.avi uncompressed seems to give me problems and the file size is huge so i dont really want to use that.

Cheers for any help but please remember this is the cut down Vegas so not all the options are there that are in the full version.

Im not sure where the footage is from. The full versions have all the options and may be got at "cut down prices" if you keep your eye open otherwise you may find that you can work with whatever options Movie Studio Platinum has given that its al for your personal use anyway
