Best quality for Mpeg encoder
I want to obtain the best possible quality for a DVD. What options should I choose when exporting to MPEG encoder? The movie is about 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Not a lot of action mostly talking heads. Should I use VBR or CBR? What number should I target 6,000 or 7,000, or what? I am using Premiere 2.0 and Encore 2.0. I will burn to DL DVD, so size is not an issue, just quality.
Thanks.

Use a bitrate calculator, there are various ones on the net

Since you are using a dual layer, you should go with the highest setting in CBR mode.

Be careful abot how high you go though. If this is being burned on a DVD-R and not stamped you can’t go as high since the pits created on DVD-Rs aren’t as accurate.
7000 is pretty safe though I have seen some DVD players choke on 6500. Burning at slower speeds will help with this as will good quality media.
