  Best Exporting Method???

  Posted by Bryan Long on February 7, 2008 at 5:12 am

  What are the best settings for Exporting for DVD? I will be importing this video into Encore. What type of format should I use, and with what settings to get the best looking DVD?

  Subsequently, are there any settings to set in Encore to get the most pristine product?

  Thanks!

  DVD is Mpeg-2. So it is native in EncoreDVD and won’t need to encode. Faster EncoreDVD workflow to burning.
  There is:
  VBR for Variable Bit Rate
  and…
  CBR for Constant Bit Rate.

  The higher your Bit Rate the better quality you have.
  It all depends on the length of your project. The shorter it is the higher the bit rate at a constant level CBR. You can go upto 9Mb/s MAX, but 8Mb/s is just as good and will not have potential ‘bitrate too high’ errors.
  VBR can give you a great looking DVD by compressing more (using less Mb/s) when the image doesn’t change much and then using more Mb/s when there is heavy motion all adding up to a longer project with less space.
  You will have to test the settings for yourself. But the Presets for MPEG-2 VBR High should look pretty darn good compared to the CBR High.
