  • Export movie for tv/DVD player on memory stick

    Posted by Maarten Schultheiss on January 28, 2013 at 1:13 pm

    Hello,

    I have a question how to export a movie (about 15 minutes long) to put on a memory stick so it can be put in a USB slot on a TV or DVD player.

    I tried AVI but is was bad quality and about 4GB. I like it to be around 1GB good quality.

    Is this possible and what render setting should I choose.

    Please advice.

    Maarten

    Hi Maarten,

    I can’t tell you exactly which format to use, as different players offer different format compatibility. Also, I don’t know what you are working with – SD, 720p, 1080?

    But in general for the newer players, H.264 should work well.

    You’ll have to experiment with YOUR gear to see what works for you

    I agree with Jeff; you will need to try a few different encoder settings to determine what works with your equipment. What codec did you try? Also, can you check the user manuals or call the manufacturers to get a list of compatible codecs for your TV and DVD player?

    That said, MPEG2 or MPEG2-DVD will likely work, and at SD resolution should produce a good quality video under 1GB for 15 minutes. H.264 can produce smaller files, but might not be compatible with your equipment.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I work with 720p. I tried a few codecs/setting but I’ll will try to use h.264 and look into what player they use.

    It’s for alot of franchise company’s so I hope they have all the same players. But any how I can explain why it would or would not work.

    Thank you for your reply,

    I tried a few settings AVI, MOV, MV2, DIVX but nothing seems to work.

    That said, MPEG2 or MPEG2-DVD will likely work, and at SD resolution should produce a good quality video under 1GB for 15 minutes. H.264 can produce smaller files, but might not be compatible with your equipment.

    I will try this setting and otherwise look for the player they use and look up what files it can play.
