Can’t make a usable DVD’s
We are having the darndest time burning a usable DVD. We run 3 Adrenalines, two of which have Sony burners. I have tried exporting AVI’s, QuickTimes, QT Reference files (which won’t work at all because the authoring program can’t find the media on the Lanshare??)… nothing works well. We get a lot of morays, tearing and blocky video
We use some rip-off program called Nero which I hear is not really sanctioned by Avid, but, shouldn’t I get a good looking DVD regardless of how clunky it is the build it?Would appreciate any insight.
Media Composer Adrenaline 1.3.5.2100

Sony DVD-RW-DRU-810A
Nero StartSmart 2.0.0.28 -

The burner shouldn’t be that much of an issue. I’d look for any software bundled with Avid, specifically Sorenson and Reel DVD, and use that. As far as the Adrenaline workflow, I don’t use Adrenaline, so I can’t comment specifically. HOWEVER, if it’s the same as XPress Pro, try this –
-Right click on the sequence in the bin. You should see a menu come up – select encoding>sorenson. When the meun comes up, click on options; I think in there is a ‘use media references over LAN’, or something like that (I’m not at work…). See if you can get a QT reference out that way. That should also be in the standard export dialog as well. Within Sorenson, depending on what version you have, there is a ‘auto deinterlacing’ filter. Take it off – it is evil and will cause all who touch it to lose hair. Then use Reel DVD. If you don’t have any of these programs bundled with your system, I’d invest in Sorenson at least. Nero, from what I’ve seen, doens’t have nearly the level of control Sorenson does.

It seems the export options are quite limited here. I will see if I can talk them into getting Sorensen.
