Compression
Hi! I have a friend who wants me to take some of his old Hi 8 tapes and put them to dvd. I am kind of new to compression, but right now I have about 2 1/2 hours of captured video ready to compress and put on dvd’s (I’m guessing I will need 2 dvds). What would be the best way to compress these down in Premier Pro 2.0 and get ready for authoring on Encore?
Normally, I will export about an hours worth of video by going to Adobe Media Encoder and selecting 7 MB High Quality CBR, and this works fine. Is there a better setting that might render faster, and result with a smaller file size?
I also tried running it as 6MB Low Quality VBR, and it only exported 20 minutes worth of video (I have pleanty of disk space, and had 1 hour selected in my work space). I dont know if this is a glitch or what. Any help would be great!

2 DVDs at 1:15 each and the 7 MBs CRB preset should work out fine. Reduce the Quality slider to about 3 (video tab in the Adobe Media Encoder) will speed things up a lot without hurting quality.
