  • 23.976 timeline.to DVD .not what i see…

    Posted by Lou Cannizzo on February 23, 2010 at 8:39 pm

    Hi,
    I have a XHA1 canon that was set to 23.976. It came into premiere cs4 as 23.976 and the movie was edited as 23.976.

    Now its time to burn to dvd. (hmm,.. i know that dvd standard is 29.976) so I must select Mpeg-2DVD and transcode it.

    Here’s my issue:
    My scene changes on my timeline are all crisp cuts from one scene to another. when I advance frame by frame on the transcoded, the scene cuts have a 2-4 frame disolve between scenes. It’s not noticable to watch, but if you do a frame advance, you can see it.

    I am aware that the trancode must insert frames but…

    Is there ANYWAY, that I can get rid of this ?
    Does hollywood’s movies have to deal with this too?

    Is there a way that “what I see one my timeline, is way I get on my dvd?

    You do NOT want to select MPEG-2.

    What you want to select is H-264

    Hi,
    Could you explain alittle bit more?
    I thought H 264 was a codec for web?
    1. I need the BEST quality going to disk.
    2. I needed that “ghosting” to go away

    UPDATE:
    I just eliminated the ghosting by selecting 23.976 from the drop down & 3:2 pulldown. Now the render is EXACTLY as my timeline

    However, when burned to disk, doesn’t it get padded to 29 frames?
    So isn’t the ghosting going to come back to disk?

    Well I did some research, and the opinions of most of the articles I read agreed that H-264 was excellent for Blu-Ray DVDs.

    My current project:
    Shot 23.976 on Sony EX3
    Edited 23.976 in CS4
    Have had several “rough cut” DVDs made going the H-264 route . . . the results have been FANTASTIC … I find it impossible to believe the results could be any better.

    My professional 65″ Panasonic TV ($10,000) takes no prisoners, but my H-264 discs look great on it.

    I am a creative person, not a technical person at all. But I’ll be going H-264 for my Blu-Ray discs now and in the future.

    I’m using H.264 and I have the fps set to 24. I’m using still jpeg images with motion position translations on them, so it pans across the images and titles. I’m still getting ghosting. I don’t understand why progressive scan would have anything to do with it. Are there any render settings I can change? How do I change the whole project over to a single frame rate?
