  Jagged edges

  Posted by Christopher Griffin on October 20, 2011 at 5:01 pm

  Ive been trying to figure out what is wrong with this production I am working on. I am in CS5, have tried dynamic linking as well as export/import into Encore. The video looks CRISP after exporting from Premiere, however every DVD I have burned looks like complete CRAP on an HDTV. I exported the file as MPEG-2 hoping that would help but mainly the text is noticeable and choppy edges. Is there a transcode setting that I am overlooking? I have checked “render at maximum quality” at 1280×720, the TV I am playing it on is 720p.

  christopher,
  your workflow is the problem….

  DVD has 720×480 (NTSC) and 720×576 (PAL), so you can´t encode 720p-MPEG2, because it needs to be SD-Video.

  export your video as selfcontained movie to your harddisc and then transcode it to SD-MPEG2 and dolby AC3 using adobe media encoder if you need to create a DVD.

  if you would like to have crisp HD-video on disc you need to create a blu-ray disc, no DVD.

  cheers

  Even though I use the Dynamic Link to send my projects? It seems to me this should be taken care of with the transcode process.
