  Dynamic Link Quality Issues – Please Help

  Posted by Clint Milner on April 9, 2009 at 3:08 pm

  Hi All,

  [using cs4]
  I’m hoping that someone can help with what I think is an encoding problem. I have a large project on my hands, a 4 DVD set, each disc has 100 minutes on it and I’ve created a simple menu.

  Each disc has 5 20-minute episodes.
  Each episode is a sequence in Premiere linked to Encore by Dynamic Link.

  I’ve used the DV-PAL Widescreen 48kHz preset for all the sequences.

  I’ve also used the Interpret Footage command to conform all the footage to D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.4587)

  All videos are really high quality Quicktime Videos (approx. 12 GB each) with the following specs:
  Format: YUV422 codec, 720 x 575, Millions, 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000kHz
  FPS: 25.00
  Data Rate: 167.62 mbits/sec

  After burning the DVD on 4x speed, all the videos are really jumpy during pans and quick action.
  Can anyone offer any possible solutions? The client is expecting the final disc to play as smoothly as the QuickTimes.

  Many, many thanks in advance,
  Clint

  Hmmm. You said…
  “all the videos are really jumpy during pans and quick action”

  This makes me think it’s an encoding issue, maybe.

  One process concept process I try to stick with is to use Task-Specific apps. Premiere to edit, Main Concept to Encode, Encore to Author.

  You could isolate a short, 10-second, clip of this quick action to run encoding tests.

  2-Pass encoding may help this.

  Also, ensure that your field-order settings are consistent throughout your project.

  I never allow Encore to encode, too many surprises. I encode with Main Concept MPEG-Pro, it allows much more control.

  Just a few thoughts..
