Sony Vegas Codec H.264
Bandicam optimizes recording performance by using a hardware-accelerated H.264 encoder. So users of Bandicam can enjoy high quality and high speed recording.
If you use the H.264 codec, please carefully view the manual below:
VBR vs. CBR
- VBR Variable bitrate allows a higher bitrate to be allocated to the more complex segments of media files while less space is allocated to less complex segments. If you check VBR, you can get a better quality-to-space ratio compared to a CBR Constant bitrate file of the same data.
FourCC Code: H264 and X264
- H264: H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC Advanced Video Coding is one of the most commonly used video formats for the recording, compression, and distribution of high definition video.
- X264: x264 is a free software library for encoding video streams into the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC format.
If you choose H264, you can play the recorded video on most media players and edit the recorded video with Windows Movie Maker, Pinnacle Studio, etc.
However, if you want to edit the recorded video with Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere with the AVI container, you must choose the X264 option. If you don t use Sony Vegas, you may not choose the X264 option.
Keyframe Interval: 1 to 300
- If you choose 150 as the Keyframe interval, keyframes will be created every 150 frames.
- If you choose 1 as the Keyframe interval, every single frame becomes a keyframe.
- When you want to edit the recorded video, you may choose 1 as the Keyframe interval. When you choose 1, the recorded file size will be larger than others.
What s the difference between a frame and a keyframe.
- Frame: A frame is a single shot of a series of still transparent pictures that form a video. A frame contains partial information of a still scene.
- Keyframe: A keyframe is a frame used to indicate the beginning or end of a change made to the signal. A video file has a limited number of keyframes - not every frame is a keyframe. A keyframe contains full information of a still scene.

I have specs I need to follow for rendering a feature length movie that will be used for streaming, but I m rather lost and can t seem to find the right information on how to follow these specs.
I have Sony Vegas 11 12, so I can use either one for this. The info I m listing about what I m trying to do will be in terms of Vegas 12.
The footage I m trying to render was shot on a DVX100B 24fps Squeeze
Here is the spec information I m trying to follow:
Codec/Compression format: H.264 Multipass: On Frame rate: Current
This should be either 24, 25 or 30 fps - whatever you edited in. Video data rate: 2500kbps Resolution: for PAL videos 1024x576 orfor NTSC videos 854x480
The pixels should be square or 1:1. Interlacing: Video should be de-interlaced or progressive
If the source video is interlaced, be sure to select the Deinterlace video option, but if the source is progressive or already de-interlaced you don t need to do this again. It s important to select the right de-interlacing option or your video will look bad on the web. Sound: AAC Codec, Stereo, 48khz, 320kbps I m not entirely sure what H.264 is and the information out there is a little sketchy. For awhile, I was under the impression that H.264 and MP4 are the same thing, but with further research, it appears that they may not be. I don t really understand it, obviously.
Here s where I m running into problems and there are many:
First choosing the right CODEC:
I m thinking I need to render as MP4 to get this H.264 - There are 2 options for MP4 Rendering on Vegas 12. One is Sony AVC/MVC and the other is MainConceptAVC/AAC.
The Sony AVC/MVC has a lot of options that don t make sense to me. So I m assuming MainConcept AVC/AAC is where I want to be.
Inside this codec I am guessing I should choose one of the internet options and the highest quality option appears to be Internet 480p widescreen, so that s what I ve been choosing.
IF I m in the right codec, this is the issue I m having with following the specs.
Codec/Compression format: H.264 - - - I think I m in the right spot.
Multipass: On - - - I have no idea what this means and see no options for a multi pass at all.
Frame rate: Current
This should be either 24, 25 or 30 fps - whatever you edited in. - - - When I click on CUSTOMIZE TEMPLATE the Frame Rate I have has several options. There is one option of 23.976000 IVTC FILM and 24 FILM and I m assuming I should choose 23.976000. Does that sound right.
Video data rate: 2500kbps - - - I see no option for for Video Data Rate at all. The closes I see to that language is variable Bit Rate, but it doesn t have an option close to 2500kbps that I can see.
Resolution: for PAL videos 1024x576 orfor NTSC videos 854x480
The pixels should be square or 1:1 - - - There is an option for Multimedia wide 854x480 so that s easy enough, but for Pixels, I don t see any options for 1:1 - I have an option for Pixel Aspect Ratio, but my options are 1.0000 or 1.3333 - Is 1.0000 equal to their spec of 1:1.
Interlacing: Video should be de-interlaced or progressive
If the source video is interlaced, be sure to select the Deinterlace video option, but if the source is progressive or already de-interlaced you don t need to do this again. It s important to select the right de-interlacing option or your video will look bad on the web. - - - I m pretty sure DVX100B footage is progressive, so I don t have to do anything here correct. If so, I don t see any options for it anyhow.
Sound: AAC Codec, Stereo, 48khz, 320kbps - - - When I click the Audio tab at the button, it shows the sample rate Hz at 48,000so that should be good. I don t see an option to adjust to 320kbps. In the format information section it is mentioning audio at 128 Kbps. Is there anyway to up it to the request 320kbps.
I ve tried rendering using all the above information and the MP4 render comes out in horrible quality.
Any information anyone can give is much appreciated. I m very lost.
