Issue with Rendering

[Sereni]

Basically I've been frapping in 1680x1050. My computer can handle it and I can usually render movies at that resolution.

Now I have had complaints about the movie "lagging" or "skipping", but not the audio. I'm guessing that it is just too high of a resolution for the majority of PC users?


Any advice? Would it just be better to record at a smaller resolution? Can I just lower the resolution size of the project?

Now I did try lowering the resolution of the project, however I don't understand how movies are able to stretch vertically when the project size is only like 1280x960. I can't seem to get mine to do that =/

Any help appreciated!

Also to add:

I'm recording in full screen @ 30fps

The way I usually render (using Vegas), is by setting the audio to 128 and rendering it in quality vbr (could that be a prob?). Usually set the quality to about 83%

I haven't tried Bit rate VBR yet, although did a brief 5 second test render with it @ 5 MB and it looked fine also.

Try rendering it at 840x525 and see if that seems to be about the same quality, better file sizes and less video lag like people say.

File size isn't too bad, although the video lag is a big problem.

I'm assuming the average user runs in a 1280x1024 resolution?

Also anyway to have the movie vertically "stretch" to fit the screen?

Thanks

Try 1280x800

And yes, many computers cant decode 1680x1050, too much data too fast.
