Best settings to render 1920×1080

[Debbie King]

Hi John:

Is 50i better than render 24P?

Many thanks,

Debbie

It depends… Are you in a PAL country? 50i is for PAL (Europe, Africa, Australia, etc.). 60i is for NTSC (US & Japan). 24p (i.e., 23.976p) is an NTSC format.

What did you shoot the original footage in?

John You said: It is always better to render the correct format right from the timeline rather than re-render an already rendered format although going from HD to SD
One-
How do I skip rendering the time line on Pro 13 and just make a DVD in DVD Architect? Or is that possible? I have noticed that there is a “real time render” option. I could not see that it did anything but pretend to render-

Two-
What is the best format to which to render for You Tube, Vimeo, DVD for the best quality and the least compressing?

thanks, Bill

You can’t skip rendering. What you can do is render a file that DVD Architect will simply use. I would render your video as MainConcept MPEG2 using the appropriate DVD Architect … template. For example if you are rendering for NTSC use the DVD Architect NTSC Widescreen video stream template for the video. Then use Dolby Digital AC3 with the appropriate template for the audio. Name the files the same with only the mpg and ac3 extensions being different and DVD Architect will know that video and audio go together.

I would use MainConcept AVC with either the Internet HD 1080p or Internet HD 720p templates for Internet video. DVD needs to be MPEG2 as described above.
