trouble exporting videos to mpeg
I’m having trouble exporting videos to adobe media encoder. The problem is that the quality of the the after exporting is less clearer than the original video. i am using adobe premiere pro 2.0 and my source video is from SONY DCR-SR200 which has a built-in hdd. the format of the video is MPEG and as far as i know, MPEG files dont work smoothly on premiere but i think this isnt the cause of the problem. Well, The problem starts after i export the video. Ex. instead of seeing a straight line, you would see smaller fine lines, i dunno if this is what they called scan lines? i’m also clicking the de-interlace check box coz at first i thought this might caused the problem but somehow few lines disappeared but not totally, the second problem is that whenever motion is present in the video, the motion is shadowy or something like trailmark happens. (im sorry cant explain clearly, am not good in english) my settings for exporting this video to mpeg is Adobe Media Encoder, Format: MPEG-2, preset: NTSC MPEG-2 Generic but the bitrate, i usually set it to VBR 1 pass and the rest of the settings, i leave it as is. What i always do is that i export the video to mpeg and then i use NERO 7 to convert mpeg video to DVD format. My videos usually 2 hours and above in length (i do video coverage) and im doing 2hrs. of video per dvd. Can somebody help me with this?

1. Is your target television?
2. Are you previewing on a TV?The bigger issue is that you are reencoding your source video twice, once with Premiere and again with Nero.

“i leave it as is”
Well that is another problem…the default bitrate is probably 4 mbps. Also choose Mpeg 2 DVD, not just Mpeg 2.Set your bitrate as high as possible without going over 8 mbps for video. Then use Premiere to author the DVD, not Nero. Better yet, use Encore.
Even better would be to buy the Main Concept Mpeg Pro plug-in.

My targets are both tv and pc. i export video to mpeg for pc viewing and then burning the mpeg file to dvd using nero for tv viewing. Is setting the bitrate to higher level will also lessen the length of the video on dvd? will it be lesser than 2 hours?
I’ll do your advise… Will message you later. thanks a lot Sir mike. 🙂

Putting 2 hours or more of video on a DVD will result in poor quality, especially when you dont have access to a Dolby audio encoder. 135 minutes of video without using a Dolby audio encoder requires about 2.7 mbps (video) to fit it on the disc. With Dolby encoded audio raises that to 3.9 mbps. Both are pretty low.
Either use dual layer discs or split your project into 2 DVDs.
AND dont give Nero a Mpeg 2 Program stream as that will result in even poorer quality. Use Premiere or Encore to author DVDs. -
Sir, I made two copies of a 6-minute video, my source video came from a sony dcr-sr200 camcorder. the first copy was made in NERO and the second one is from Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. What i did on premiere was i exported it directly to DVD [Export to DVD] and used this setting NTSC DV 4:3 HQ 7mb cbr 1 pass which is premiere’s default setting and i checked deinterlace. i was not happy with the result coz the video is much smoother in nero than premiere. the problem with premiere is that when anything moves in the video it becomes blurry/shadowy. It seems that i cant get the right settings for my video. Maybe because my source video was an MPEG format not an AVI. Is this could be the problem?
Right now im exporting another copy of the same video, but this time i’ll be experimenting other default settings. One thing thing more, i dunno what to use between CBR and VBR or which better to use. thanks! 🙂

I suspect so. Mpeg editing and recompression is fraught with challenges.
Use VBR on movies over 90 minutes. -
Hello Mike. 🙂
I’ve been very busy lately so i didnt have time to read your last reply re: my question. I did a new project in premiere 2.0 but now my source video was a sony dcr-hc28 which is a mini-dv camcorder and i captured it via firewire. It was a 1.5 hour long video (i used 2 tapes) and the size was over 20GB (As far a i know, raw AVI file works well with adobe premiere). I’ve changed the whole process, instead of extorting it to a mpeg file and burn it to DVD using nero, What i did was i directly exported the video to DVD (Export to DVD) and i selected NTSC DV 4×3 High Quality 7MB CBR 1 Pass, which is a default setting. I remember what u said, that if the length of the video is over 90 mins, its better to use VBR than CBR and that’s what i exactly did though i had hard time adjusting the minimun, target and maximum bitrate coz it wont fit to a 4.7GB DVD. After all the changes i’ve done, still the video looks bad. the horizontal lines (i think this is what they called combing effect)and the blurry motion are still there. I dont know what to do. Is there something wrong with my settings that the interlacing of the video just messed up? Or the problem is on my PC. By the way, this is my PC specs:
Intel 2140 1.6Ghz Dual Core procesor, 2GB memory, NVidia 7300GT Sonic Video Card (256MB/128bit/GDDR3) and my hard disk is 500GB SATA this is where i store and edit my videos. Hope you can help me with my problem. -
Hello all
Good happens to me exactly the same, My source is Sony DCR – SR 200 and when you export files in premiere mpg lose a lot of quality.
Also monitor whether the DVD player and TV will disfigure the image at the bottom of the screen above.
Now I'm trying all Las EXPORT options Premiere Pro 2.0.
Later they tell me which seemed better but I think the problem is the camera,….n
