I think we can all agree that Sony Vegas sucks big-time when it comes to rendering. (If only I had known what a pain messing with blu-ray was going to be a week ago...)
So here is where I am at: After much fiddling, I have worked out a reliable method for getting perfect video and sound off of a blu-ray and into Vegas HD Platinum 10 (no small feat!). So now I have two lossless master files: video= Lagarith in AVI shell, audio=W64. These are beautiful. Vegas plays nice with them. No glitchy issues so far with either of these codecs plus perfect 5.1 audio with the discrete channels maintained. Vegas can also miraculously re-encode these formats (as two separate files) and the audio stays synced when I combine them into a new Vegas project!
As near as I can tell, my "make movie" or "blu-ray authoring" options in the Vegas menus are useless, and many of the "render as" options (even when I separate video and audio) either don't work at all or render something inaccurate. As an addition to the insanity, I now come to find out that DVD architect apparently can't manage 5.1 audio? (Thank goodness that piece of garbage was bundled as an HD application)!
Which brings me to my question. Blu-ray authoring software recommendations and/or steps to work around Vegas's retardedness? I am too battle fatigued at this point to spend anymore time researching workaround solutions. My Sony Vegas disc is about to become a Frisbee. Help me fanedit forum. You're my only hope.
