Hi /g/
I've recently been toying with a bunch of rendering formats and settings on Vegas Pro 13 and haven't been able to come up with a satisfactory baseline to render all my videos in.
I can use AVI with Lagarith Lossless, and that gives me almost 1:1 quality, but the file size is something ridiculous at 48GB / hour.
I like MP4, which offers progressive download (for youtube) and a manageable file size, but the quality goes to the shitter. Various JPEG-looking artifacts appear on frames with sharp edges and high contrast, the frames seem blurred together and not crisp, and has some incredibly shitty banding issues.
I see ripped movies at around 4GB and they have very clear shadows with no banding that I can make out. The image is crisp, and there's very little artifacts. It's also MP4.
So does anyone have any advice on settings? What do you use to render your videos?
Pic mostly unrelated.

Can't you set it to h264 lossless? Else you can render as lossless avi and encode it as lossless h264 with handbrake, just set the audio stream as copy instead convert.

Reminder this happens in a console too.

Do you mean I could render the video in lossless avi with the huge file size, then use something akin to ffmpeg to encode it (bringing the file size down)?
It sounds like a good idea. This is probably what people do when they rip movies and encode them down to a downloadable size.
Anybody have experience encoding stuff into a YouTube-friendly format with minimal loss?

Yeah that wasn't an issue for me anyway.
Reason I threw that image in here is because it's a snapshot of the start of the latest video I'm trying to render

Also I'm pretty sure Vegas doesn't come with that codec for rendering. At least I didn't see it

You can. Export in whatever lossless format, then use ffmpeg to transcode to youtube's recommended formats https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en-GB
Uploading in higher resolutions even when your source material is SD is still useful, lets you have a higher bitrate and also lets you use 50/60FPS
