DVD production
Hello,
I am working on the contents of a DVD, which should be printed in the spring of 2010. It will contain app 1 1/2 hour of film. I am editing within PPCS3 in a HDV project. I hear and read rumours from professionals that Premiere will not give optimal results and that I should switch to FCP or AVID!What I want is first of all an ordinary DVD with SD quality, but with the best quality results. Later, in a few years I want to print a BluRay with same content but in HD.
1 This is supposedly a forum for professionals, so nobody here works with CS3 if I must beleive the source I was mentioning. I don’t beleive it, but could somebody convince me that I should go on with CS3? And tell me why!
2 Vegas has something like smartrendering. Does CS3 have that too?
3 Is HDV as a source potentially good enough for a high quality SD production?
4 Can I render directly from HDV M2t naar SD MPEG2 without loosing too much quality? It is said that the premiere encoder for this job was not very good in previous Premiere version. How is the encoder in CS3, if you for instance compare it to Vegas, FCP or AVID?
5 I hear that HDV as a source does not give good enough results on a BluRay. Somebody with experience on this forum to affirm or deny this?
What should be the source material in order to get good results?6 Last but not least. What can a professional do what I cannot do myself to improve the image quality of the DVD?
Many thanks,
Rob -
