    I had to render video in Sony Vegas and at the end of the day when actual setting rendering settings came no matter what I chose (mainconcept or Sony AVC) nothing of those 2 gave me great quality unless the size of 50 min. 1080p video was 5 GB. And I needed for superb quality because that video actually was a slideshow with photos with small faces. I spent 2 days for googling and searching. Handbrake would be useless due lossless video is insanely HUGE so x264 was the only way.

    I wish I'd found smth like this 3 days ago so I wouldn't spend so much time to search and learn.
