CS5 premiere pro export settings
I am working with AVCHD 1920×1080 29.97 60i files. For the most part I am putting the final products on the web and using the FLV/F4V export setting. (side note – I do not understand the difference between FLV and F4V, should I be using one over the other).
Now some of my clients are understandably requesting hard copies on DVD’s to play on a regular DVD player, not a computer. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I found online that MPEG2 is the way to go and there is an mpeg2-dvd option in premiere pro. Any reason I should try something else?
Thanks

Hi Andrew,
DVD uses “MPEG-2 for DVD” compression only, so no, don’t try anything else, you must adhere to the DVD spec. Also, it is more than just creating the “MPEG-2 for DVD” file, just putting that on DVD might play in a PC, but not a DVD player. The files must be authored to DVD using Adobe Encore or similar DVD program.

As far as FLV and F4V, F4V is flash video using the .H264 codec applied. At this point, I would use F4V because of market saturation of Flash 9 v3 (which is required to play the F4V files) is over 97% in world wide mature market. Also F4V gives you a better result as compared to FLV for majority of things. Now, on the other hand, if your video will be using the alpha channel, you’re stuck using FLV. For my line of work I’m stuck using FLV (need the alpha). Hope this helps!
