Export to mpeg2…
I’m sure there’s a really complex answer to this, but how can I play an actioned packed motion picture DVD on a laptop PC and it look as fantastic as it did in the movie theatre, but when I export my own project to mpeg2 (the go-to DVD format) at the highest quality settings possible, deinterlaced and all, the playback is so poor when compared to the original, say, .avi file?
I have this project I did in Premiere, lots of motion graphics, moving titles, animations done in After Effects, and no matter what, I can’t get a good quality export for DVD presentation.Just wondering…

Well indeed, it is a complicated matter 😉
First, let’s look at what we are starting with. Film resolution vs say DV, or even uncompressed SD.
Then add the noise generated by DV compression. And then add to the fact that a lot of bigger budget movie are compressed using much higher end tools that allow precise control over GOP structure and bitrate at any given time.
Now, let’s say that you use 2 pass VBR and calculate the Min, average, and Max correctly, and that the footage you are bringing in isn’t noisy and is within broadcast standard in levels and color saturation, you should be getting a pretty descent result.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Yes, unfortunately, compression appears to be an art, not a science. It depends on the footage.
