Creating a good viewing DVD from multiple source material
I’m relatively new to Premiere Pro CS5 and will be creating a video of my son’s class trip to Washington DC. I’ll be creating MPEG2-DVD’s for distribution to the trip attendees in which the majority of the viewing will be on HDTV’s. My source video footage is as follows:
50% – 720×480 (1.2121) D1/DV NTSC 29.97 Lower Field
40% – 720×480 (1.2121) D1/DV NTSC 29.97 Upper Field
9% – 1280×720 (1.0) 30.00 Unknown Field (but I’m guessing Progressive)
1% – 640×480 (1.0) 29.97 Progressive ScanI also have quite a few digital photos that will be incorporated in the video (zoom/pan) that are sized anywhere from 4320×3240 to 1728×1152 (all square pixels).
I’m looking for advice on a strategy to produce a good quality DVD for my targeted audience, such as I do change (Modify->Interpret Footage) any of the source material, what Settings might I use when creating Sequences (particularly the Fields and Display Format values), what Field Options might I use for clips on a timeline (do I need to De-interlace?), and what Export Settings would I use when encoding to MPEG2 (especially the Field Order to use)?
Any thoughts or pointers on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -

I would set up a 480×720 interlaced sequence as most of the footage is SD.
Dont change the par, interprete footag is to be set as it come with the footage. Still which can be brougth down in framesize and probably need Always Deinterlace and Reverse Dominance as you are on a lower field timeline.
Send to Encore (dynamic link) and let Encore do the math.———————————————–

I see there is als dv-avi’s in upper field. They all need to be changed to lower field. You can do that in the Interprete footage in the Project window.
