AVI to DVD (very important)
hi,
I’m editing some mpeg2 videos on Adobe Premiere CS3 and saving them as AVI files. Then I create some fancy DVD menus on DVD Architect with the AVI files. The question is.. why do the AVI videos look so bad on the DVD standalone? I understand it’s a lossy compression, but.. what can I do? If only I could export the edited mpeg2 files to the same format, I wouldn’t need to convert ir first to AVI..

1. What is the input source?
2. How long is the video that is going on the DVD?
3. Do you know the compression settings used by DVD Architect?
4. Have you tried another DVD program, such as Encore (which ships free with Premiere Pro CS3)?– Aanarav

First, make sure you export uncompressed (Micrsoft AVI – Compression: none), not DV.
If I understand right, you are using the AVI’s as background for the menus?
Are you using an automated compression setting? If so, just keep in mind that the size allocated for the menus is limited (I can’t quite remember the exact number), but if you have a lot of them, that may be forcing a heavier compression.
