Ello everyone.

I'm having an occasional problem with rendering, and I can't figure out what is going on.

In the video below, You will see that my video occasionally gets SUPER pixelated for a few moments. It appears to happen most when there are quick drastic changes in colors/lighting. And I'm not quite sure how to address it. I would guess that since it is pixelating that it would be a bit rate issue, but I figured my bit rate settings were more than sufficient. (Variable 1 pass. Avg Bit rate 8mbps, Max bit rate 16mbps). And this isn't just a youtube problem, it happens when I play back locally from the hard drive.

I'm rendering in Sony Vegas 12

Here is the test video


That was recorded with a Hauppauge HD PVR 2. But I've also had this same problem in Fraps.


I'll keep tinkering around with it, but if anyone has an answer that would be supreme. I can't imagine that they clip is surpassing 16mbps at that moment O.o.

Weeeeird. Alright. I'll give that a shot.

I've tried making about 5 different videos to try and nail down the issue.

Right now Im rendering at Variable: 2 Pass 28mbps Max 14mpbs average

If that doesn't fix it, im convinced its not a bit rate issue lol.

Well, good news and bad news.

Good News
Throwing the bit rates up super high worked to resolve the issue.

Bad News.

Those are some high bit rates and long rendering times
