  Low quality in Adobe Encore

  Posted by Sam Alderson on August 3, 2011 at 11:05 pm

  I have exported high quality (1920×1080 lossless) footage from Adobe After Effects. Now when I take it into Adobe Encore to make a DVD I find that it loses all its quality once it’s transcoded. Unless I burn it to blu-ray it can’t keep its original 1920×1080 size and I’ve tried many different transcode settings as well as exporting a mpg2-DVD from After Effects and it seems like none of them would look high quality on a television.

  But how does that work on a TV or even computer? It just doesn’t seem to produce high enough quality?
  I’m sorry for the stupid questions I am just confused.

  Hey Sam,
  your eyes are irritated by the HD-picture. SD-picture allways looks like you have a big blur on the footage – compared to your original HD-quality.

  SD-DVD only allows 720×480 for NTSC or 720×576 resolution for PAL as eric discribed.

  and television/broadcast is working with the same resolutions. if you playback a DVD on a computer, it is the same – but most software-players scaleing the picture to full screen, and using no good scaling-allgorithms.

  you see there is no other way to go – if you would like to have better picture-quality on optical discs you need to go blu-ray.

  cheers
