DVCPRO HD to DVD
Hi!
We shoot all out projects on DVCPRO HD 50, and we are having problem with jagged lines when encoding to DVD. What method is the best for downscaling to DVD? Is this problem fixable? We use premiere to edit, and export as uncompressed mov. Then we encode it in Tmpgenc to mpg2, and then to adobe encore to make the dvds. Is there a better way?
Thanks! -

What application are you using to do the downscaling? Tmpgenc?

Yes.

I’m not sure then, Tmpgenc should give good results. Are you sure it’s not an issue with fields?

Not sure.. It could look like it. I will have a closer look.. what should be the correct procedure? From 720P to dvd – lower fields?

720p is progressive, there are no fields, so you shouldn’t be applying any deinterlacing anywhere in the workflow.

no, but to the final DVD ?

??
Your workflow should be:
Export from Premiere at full resolution 1280x720p
Encode to elementary stream MPEG-2 progressive in Tmpgenc, resizing to 16:9 720x576p
(You don’t need to ‘add’ fields)
Author DVD.

ok! thanks, will try this.. might be I’ve interlaced twice:)

I’ve now tried your workflow, but when using it, the dvd become progressive, and panning is choppy. And when I interlace the dvd, things like wires and stuff become ugly. (jaggies, not straight lines).
Isn’t there a way to get the dvd interlaced without the jaggies?Could it be the flatscreen tv or the player, causing this problem?

What are you viewing your DVD on/with?
This may help you understand what’s going on:
