  • Best COMPRESSOR settings for HD to SD DVD?

    Posted by Jason Prisk on March 1, 2008 at 4:18 pm

    Can anyone give me the best settings to use for a 15 minute Apple ProRes422HQ 1080i/29.97 video going to an SD DVD. I am using Compressor.

    Just using the “90 Minute MPEG2” preset, I get a bit of a blurry picture, especially on the text. It seems like I am looking at an interlacing issue in the text–edges are not very clean on the top and bottom of letters especially.

    It is not the worst quality in the world, but it is not as good as I know it can be. I am experimenting with bit rates and such, but figured someone smarter than me may already have the answer.

    Thanks.

    Make sure you have deinterlace turned on and at the highest quality. Make sure your resize is set to the highest quality option.
