  dvd burning

  Posted by Jenny Gravatt on December 7, 2007 at 3:23 pm

  I’m trying to burn my pp2 project onto dvd and I’m afraid of losing quality of my video during the burning process. I know that pp2 compresses your project to a mpeg2 when it burns to dvd, but i was wondering if anyone could help with the settings when burning to get the best quality out of your project.

  I shot my video on a 1080i HDV 60i camera in 1080×1440…if anyone could help that would be great, i really dont know much about compression and all, so any help with the settings would be great!

  Thanks,
  Jenny

  Downconvert to SD (720×480) and use a bitrate calculator to find optimal settings. Google is your friend here.

  As Harm mentioned you will need to go to SD res. But that can be done with the convert to MPEG-2 settings. Use a High Bitrate (7200Kbps) at CBR (Constant Bit Rate) if your project is not too big. 40mins MAX. Set Audio to 128Kbps. And the frame size will be set according to NTSC DVD (720×480).
  You could find the best VBR (Variable Bit Rate) with a calculator…
