  DVD Play back problem

  Posted by Jay Krishnan on April 10, 2009 at 4:45 pm

  Hi

  I created some flash animations which i wanted to convert to DVD, so this is what i did

  1. Exported to avi from flash, settings were 720×576 at 24 fps
  2. Imported into adobe premiere pro, and exported as movie with default settings, at 4:3 ratio
  3. Created a project in encore 2, imported the avi, and built a DVD.
  Had set the transcoding to automatic and used PAL. Set the settings to use lower field first. Other settings were left to default.
  4. The dvd plays fine on PC. But when i play it in 21 inch TV the movie was stretched, and when i play it on 32 inch TV the video is titled at the top left corner.

  I am new to this DVD authoring thing. So could someone point me to what could be wrong.

  Not sure if Flash understands non-square pixels…prolly not. Instead, export a 768×576 AVI from Flash, and for PAL you want 25 fps.

  Import this into an Encore PAL project and see if you can work with it. If not, import it into a Premiere PAL DV project and export an MPEG-2 file for use in Encore. See if that works for you.

  Is this conversion problem, or is do i need to setup some manual settings in encore?

  Also would using some third party swf2avi converter help rather than exporting from Adobe player programme

  Thanks

  BTW here we use PAL-B , would that create some problems?

  I still have the same problem after what joe told me to do. The left top part of the video gets out of the viewing area.

  I am a bit confused as to where the problem is? Do i need to change some setting in encore?

  Regards

  You made the video 768×576, at 25 fps? How does that look in Encore? Can you post a screenshot?

  One point is that encore stretches the video to 720×576, respective of what resolution i import.

  [jay krishnan] “One point is that encore stretches the video to 720×576, respective of what resolution i import. “

  Yes, it does…because PAL DVD-Video must be 720×576 pixels.

  It would be helpful if you could post screen shots of the problem.

  I created the way you told me to. Also created a movie with 5:4 aspect ration.
