  CS4 export settings for Blu Ray – which one is best?!

  Posted by Mitch Silver on November 21, 2009 at 2:05 am

  I’ve edited an HD project in premiere CS4, and now I want to export blu ray files so I can burn a blu ray disc with encore.

  Seems a lot of people in this forum have had various problems with this process, but I have not found an answer to my particular question…

  Which export setting is best for this? MPEG2 for blu ray or H.264 for blu ray? Also, if the video is 29.97 fps, so the export also be set to 29.97 fps?

  Thanks.

  There are pros and cons for both, Mpeg2 gives a little better results particularly with motion but results in larger files, H264 saves space but can have some artifacts with motion, another thing is what market will you address, if limited where you know what players will be used as Mpeg2 will play in all players not discounting possible problems with media, type of burner, etc, not all players will handle H264 particularly older models.
