The MainConcept MPEG-2 encoder in Vegas Pro renders with the Low Delay flag turned off. If you’re
rendering with a different encoder, ensure Low Delay is turned off.
PAL MPEG video (.m2p, .mp2, .mpg, .mpeg, .mpv)
If you’re using the MainConcept MPEG-2 encoder in Vegas Pro software, use the DVD Architect PAL video
stream or DVD Architect PAL Widescreen video stream template to render your video stream. You'll need
to render your audio stream separately according to the parameters listed in the AC-3 audio or PCM audio
headings in this section.
If you're rendering with a different application, the following settings will produce a compliant PAL MPEG-
2 video stream.

Media File Settings for Blu-ray Disc Projects
You can burn Blu-ray Disc projects to BD recordable discs using the BDMV format:
n A 25 GB single-layer BD recordable disc can store approximately 3 hours, 42 minutes of AVC video
(15 Mbps) or 2 hours, 15 minutes of MPEG-2 video (25 Mbps).
n A 50 GB dual-layer BD recordable disc can store approximately 7 hours, 25 minutes of AVC video
(15 Mbps) or 4 hours, 31 minutes of MPEG-2 video (25 Mbps).
When you use Tools > Burn Disc > Blu-ray Disc in a stereoscopic 3D project, Vegas Pro will create a
Blu-ray 3D™ Disc.
If your project is destined for professional Blu-ray 3D™ Disc replication, Vegas Pro can prepare
content in full HD per-eye format by rendering two separate files (using Left only and Right only
modes), which can be read by an MVC encoder such as the Dualstream 3D encoder and authored
using a tool such as Blu-print.
For more information about working with stereoscopic 3D projects, see "Stereoscopic 3D editing" on
page 201.
