  • Converting MOV to DVD

    Hi there guys…

    I’m a newbie in ADOBE’s ENCORE (CS4).

    I’ve created a presentation in after effects cs4 and exported it to PAL DV, then I did some editing in premiere and ended up exporting a jurky looking video…

    I’ve asked in some forums and people said I should use MOV as the video format and then go trough the after effects–>premiere process.

    Now, The video looks good as a MOV file, and I want to know how can I convert my final MOV file to DVD, using encore, without much loss of quality.

    * And one last Question, is it true that if I’m using 720X576 video on a full computer screen things will look jurky because I have much more pixels on the computer screen, while on the DVD the 720X576 video would look better ?

    hi guy,
    DV-pal is a bad choice, because it´s the worst picture-quality-setting. you should have selected uncompressed PAL, pro res HQ or maybe DVCPRO50.

    DV-pal has a significant compression and quality-loose on the picture.

    if you want to have a good picture on your DVD, you might use adobe encoder and create your own setting.

    and be awared of field-dominance of video (upper/lower)! take care of it!!

    and to your last point:
    computer-screens have a much higher resolution than PAL, so the picture will be upscalled – the picture wont be better!

    cheers
