DVD Quality? Which is better?
Hi,
I have an approx 30 minute project to put to DVD. My options are to burn DVD off the Premiere Pro timeline… export an AVI file from Premiere and then use Roxio to make the DVD… or play out of Premiere and record directly to a Panasonic DVD recorder (DMR-E50). Anyone know which will be the best quality?
Second question – if I burn off the timeline using Premiere, should I choose the variable 2-pass 4Mbps option or the constant 7Mbps option, or something else (like clicking the maximize bit rate option)?
Last question – using Nero at home (unlike the above options which are from a client’s office) I once made a DVD utilizing its highest setting, and it played back choppy on my consumer DVD player – as if it couldn’t keep up with the bitrate… was that the problem, or was it likely just a bad disk?
Thanks for any help.

This happen from time to time. I was having a problem similar to you. I changed disc brand and the same problem continue. Inclusive my DVD duplicator reported “bad source disc” when trying to copy.
Then I bought an USB burner and since this time the problem gone. (cross finger)
Try this!
I used to burn PRODISC white inkjet printable with excellent results. I had burned about 1000 discs and the failure rate from the duplicator is very very low… less than 15. No client returned either.
In the try & error to identify the problem I burned a Fuji and its the worst scrappy I have seen. -
Best quality will be off the premier timeline 7mb constant profile,dont use maximise bitrate, use good quality media. Remember the video will autoplay so I like to add a bit of black at the start.
Good Luck

Best will be the choice that has the highest bit rate encodeing its pretty much that simple …. and if you need 100 percent playback with no hi cups or gliches you need to burn a DVD for authoring disc in a 3.95 gig format On a 201 burnner .( if thats really important to you ..thats the only way ) short of sending it out and making a glass master .
