  Exporting mixed frame rates to mpeg2 DVD?

  Posted by Jane Doe on April 24, 2015 at 8:36 am

  I have a project comprised of 25fps and 50fps footage. When I export to mpeg2 DVD I am getting a horrible distortion around motion in my scenes. HOWEVER, I exported a QT draft at 1080p 25fps progressive with H.264 and then used Apple Compressor to encode the file to mpeg2 DVD. The quality was excellent with no distortion. Now either Apple Compressor is a superior encoder to Premiere Pro CC, OR exporting to H.264 first fixed some issue I must have been having. The only thing I can think of is that the mixed frame rates might be causing the problem, and so exporting everything to 25fps first and THEN encoding to DVD solves this.

  Can anyone shed any light on my problems? Is working with mixed frame rates a potential issue when encoding to DVD in PP CC? And if so, what is the solution? thanks

  Do you have frame blending on?

  No I don’t, should I?

  If you edit all footage together in a 25p Sequence, and then export to “MPEG-2 DVD” using the “PAL DV Widescreen Progressive” preset, that should do it for you in one step.

  H.264 is a lossy codec (highly compressed), so I would not be using that as an intermediate.

  You do NOT want “Frame Blending” enabled, as that will cause visual issues.

  Thank you
