  1024*768 DVD/Blueray Authoring help

  Posted by Baran Venkatasamy on February 6, 2010 at 7:20 am

  i have captured videos using camtasia studio and completed my editing in adobe premier cs4 . now i want to do DVD authoring in adobe Encore CS4.
  my problem is after editing my project in premier cs4 i exported out as quick-time movie file but file size coming in some gb. for example 1 hr 23 min total video(.avi) size after export as quick-time it is coming in 12.8 gb.

  export setting :
  video size :1024 * 768
  format: quick-time
  codec used :h.264
  aspect ratio : square pixel (1.0)
  fields :progressive (none)
  FPS : 15

  now again one more problem in authoring my project .

  my video output size is 1024 * 768.but adobe encore cs4 supports only NTSC, PAL presets.actually this output is for our interactive video tutorials (DVD computer playback )
  even i tried with blue ray authoring but output gets blurred & there is no audio. even i can’t manually set my video dimension & audio rate of 15FPS(original audio)

  is there any other way to do DVD/blue ray authoring using encore without losing video quality & size (1024 * 768 ).

  any suggestion is really helpful for me

  thanks

  If your target is only computer playback I would edit in Camtasia and export as a Flash video 1024×768 (less 18 px for controls)…burn that to a DVD (Data DVD) with an autorun.inf file pointing to the .HTML file in the folder.
  If you want a Video DVD, edit and export in Camtasia as “DVD Ready” .avi and author that in Encore.
  Using Premiere to edit involves a couple of extra transcodings and resulting quality loss.

  Hi Baran,

  Camtasia actually has the ability to create a user interface/menu system for auto-run discs built-in. I haven’t used it in a while, but I had created a 4-hour tutorial at 1024×768 using .wmv files and the whole thing fit on a single CD (about 600mb total). Included dozens of clips, selectable from a custom menu.

  Check the Camtasia instructions for how to use that.

  Good advice all around in this thread.

  Blu Ray discs, like standard DVDs, are formatted to correspond with -video- formats…for video playback. 1024×768 isn’t a video format, so it would require cropping or scaling…and scaling is an absolute no-no for computer interface captures as the readability will simply be trashed.

  When you were converting to QuickTime, you likely were creating a file with a codec like ‘animation’ which is an extremely inefficient codec relative to Techsmith for screen captures.
