  Best Quality DVD from AVID!!!

  Posted by Bobblehead on June 11, 2007 at 7:39 pm

  Hello,
  Here is what I have to work with:
  AVID Adrenaline Media Composer
  Sorensen Squeeze
  Sonic DVDit

  What is the best combo to make the best quality DVD possible?

  I’ve been creating an mpeg2 in squeeze from a quicktime reference. But sometime I thing there is too much compression.

  I don’t have to use squeeze if Avid outputs something better to use in Sonic.

  Also any sonic settings or filters would be useful to know about.

  I’m looking to create movie-like quality DVDs.

  I know…I know the studios use $10K compressors and authoring software, but I just to be able to make the best DVD possible with what I have.

  Thanks

  Wayne

  1. Duplicate your final sequence and creae a video mixdown of the whole program.
  2. Export that as a quicktime reference.
  3. Imprt the refernce fil into Avid DVD (sonic)
  4. Encode at your favorite settings. I use the high quality default then bring the bitrate down to 7000. This seems to be the fiendliest with the most players. I use CBR,not VBR and I just let it add the high quality dolby audio. If you just import the QT reference and encode, it’ll autoplay for ya… at least using default settings.
