workflow creating a dvd to archive best quality (premiere- media encoder -encore)
dear all
this is my first question. i wonder and need some advice to archive the best qulity dvd..
my workflow right now:
– edit in adobe premiere (PAL setting to asia )
– export it to microsoft dv avi
– convert it to m2v and m2a from adobe media encoder setting bitrate CBR 6kbps
– building dvd menu and burn from adobe encorewith my workflow i am not really happy with the result..do i need some pro encoder/ converter such as canopus procoder or TMPgenc to create m2v files? or i just lost in workflow
thanks in advance and since english is not my primary language so please forgive my bad english 🙂

What is your source material? High def? Standard? DV?

Is the DVD full with your datarate at 6 CBR? If so, use VBR with the target at 6, with the max higher. If it is not full, try CBR 8 and see if that improves the quality.
I don’t see why you are exporting to DV. Try exporting from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD (m2v and wav).
I would also try dynamic link, since your workflow is SD to SD.

I’ve tried to increase bitrate higher but i got a lot complain from client because their dvd stuck when i convert with more than 6 cbr so 6 CBR is my safest setting
Dinamic link?my computer doesn’t strong enough to use dinamic link 🙁
Thanks alot sir 🙂

Avoid exprting to the DV codec out of Premiere. That undoubtedly is causing a visible loss of image quality. Export an uncompressed AVI if you have the disk space, otherwise use a lightly compressed codec. Then encode using AME as before.
