Thanks for those resources. I'll look into it.

I suppose, my question now is:
Are the lossless options the very fastest render option for Reaper?

I mean, if it takes 30 min to render the lossless file then another 30 min in another program to convert it to the destination format, or it takes Reaper 1 hr to render the destination format directly, then what's the difference?

I'm going to be using free conversion and DVD authoring software on Windows 10, so no matter which option I choose it looks like the FFMPEG libraries are what's being used regardless which software I select. So, I suspect the quality of the final file should be similar so long as the same codec options are available for selection. For instance, you recommended H.264 @ 50 Mbit which I assume is a recommendation for other encoding/conversion software since Reaper only lets you choose a % value for that codec.

I apologize if this has all been covered already. This thread is really long now.
Thank you so much for your help!
