  Best encoder right now

  Posted by Jose Skaf on August 29, 2009 at 5:44 pm

  Hello, I hope someone can help me out with this..
  I have a project in HD that´s been done in a PC with Avid and After Effects(a quick time file) and that I need to do the best quality DVD as possible.
  I´ve always used Squeeze or Procoder combined with DVDLab for authoring…but is there a more profecional encoder/workflow??
  What´s the best encoder software+ final authoring software around?
  I want to make a 16:9 DVD.

  Thanks in advance!!

  Encoder – CCE or ProCoder
  Authoring software – software that you know 🙂 and can buy

  Since you are starting with HD footage and will be downscaling to SD DVD, I highly recommend you read my article on achieving the highest quality downconversion and encode:

  Since you have used Avid to edit your footage, you can jump into the workflow after the export out of Premiere.
