Export movie for tv/DVD player on memory stick
Hello,
I have a question how to export a movie (about 15 minutes long) to put on a memory stick so it can be put in a USB slot on a TV or DVD player.
I tried AVI but is was bad quality and about 4GB. I like it to be around 1GB good quality.
Is this possible and what render setting should I choose.
Please advice.
Maarten

Hi Maarten,
I can’t tell you exactly which format to use, as different players offer different format compatibility. Also, I don’t know what you are working with – SD, 720p, 1080?
But in general for the newer players, H.264 should work well.
You’ll have to experiment with YOUR gear to see what works for you

I agree with Jeff; you will need to try a few different encoder settings to determine what works with your equipment. What codec did you try? Also, can you check the user manuals or call the manufacturers to get a list of compatible codecs for your TV and DVD player?
That said, MPEG2 or MPEG2-DVD will likely work, and at SD resolution should produce a good quality video under 1GB for 15 minutes. H.264 can produce smaller files, but might not be compatible with your equipment.

Thank you for your reply.
I work with 720p. I tried a few codecs/setting but I’ll will try to use h.264 and look into what player they use.
It’s for alot of franchise company’s so I hope they have all the same players. But any how I can explain why it would or would not work.

Thank you for your reply,
I tried a few settings AVI, MOV, MV2, DIVX but nothing seems to work.
That said, MPEG2 or MPEG2-DVD will likely work, and at SD resolution should produce a good quality video under 1GB for 15 minutes. H.264 can produce smaller files, but might not be compatible with your equipment.
I will try this setting and otherwise look for the player they use and look up what files it can play.
