confused which transcode setting to use
this has something to do with adobe premiere 1.5. i am confused which transcode setting to use in the “adobe media encoder” since there are vast choices of presets.
i tried using this format: “mpeg2-dvd”, preset: “NTSC DV 4×3 high quality 7mb CBR 2 pass”. but after transcoding my 1 hour and 20 minutes video, the total file size soared up beyond 4.7gb and it wont fit to a single dvd-r.
any idea what is the right transcode setting or preset in the premiere’s “adobe media encoder” that would fit to a single 4.7gb dvd disk with good quality and playable to most home dvd players?
by the way im using adobe encore to author dvd’s but i haven’t tried transcoding there. what i usually do is transcode my work first at premeire then import as asset to encore. i hope i’m doing it right.
thank you very much, your help will be appreciated.
blessings,

Try 4mbVBR 2 pass yet?

Technically you are doing it right. You save a tiny little bit by never encoding into DV AVI and then to MOEG. Going straight to MPEG is better. However, with Encore, it will transcode it for you to just the maximum size allowed on a DVD. Very handy.
Use a bitrate calculater to determine the bit rate. Perhaps your audio was a problem, because 1:20:00 ought to fit using 7Mbps and 128Kbs audio.
On the other hand, it could easily have been a problem with your menus taking up too much space in Encore.
