Exported Resolution Bad
I’ve recently exported 2 projects to DVD and the resolution fades in and out when played on a TV. Hard to explain without seeing it. Looks good, then pixelated-back and forth-with consistentcy. They are somewhat long: 1:40 and 2 hrs. I’m exporting using a modified preset: NTSC 4×3 High Quality 4MB VBR 2 Pass (Max Bitrate) . I assumed this would be best for compression. I’ve always used this setting-no problems. Actually the overall res just isn’t that good. Is it just too much compression?
I have a dual layer drive. Should I use a dual layer DVD with a CBR setting? I’ve never had to use one (dual).
Notes: Plays fine from timeline on Sony external monitor. This leads me to believe it’s in the compression. Verbatim DVD. I’ve exported the chopped clips to one rendered AVI file, switched out the audio with a master WAVE file and exported that way, still wavering res-looks blockish at times. Great edits/poor res. What setting do you guys use for footage over an hour?
Thanks!

Looks like a quality setting someplace. Can you describe your settings in detail? Are you also using the Best Quality (or something similar) option while exporting to DVD?

Like I stated-HIGH Quality (5.0) in the transcode settings.

PS:
Lower field
min. bitrate 1.6
target bitrate 4.2
max. bitrate 6.0
This was a preset with a low quality (2.1). I changed the quality setting only-to high-which made it a custom preset. ???

Moving the Quality slider to high can cause some motion artifacts. Also Mpeg 2 does not do well below about 2500 kbps. For the 1:45 project you could go up to 5100 kbps if your authoring app does Doldy.

Thanks for the info Mike. Last night, I rendered another DVD with the DV NTSC 4mb VBR LOW Quality and the artifacts are very noticeable. The video looks as if I used a low end camera, but I used a Sony VX-2000. Does the Adobe encoder just suck or what? I thought it was supposed to be great. What opinions do you guys have on using Canopus ProCoder after my editing? I’ve heard some good things about that. Thanks.
