Exporting DV sequence (mixed HDV/DV) for DVD – DV NTSC or ProRes?
I have DV sequence with DV NTSC and HDV mixed footage. I need to end up with elemntary streams for the DVD. Should I export to DV then to Mpeg 2 or export to ProRes and then on to Mpeg-2?
Thanks

why not export directly to Compressor, then create your dvd files there.

Hi Elijah,
What Thompson suggest is interesting because when you send something to Compressor from the FC time-line is before compression to the sequence codec. Always a 444 picture.
However you can send something even better if you set “Render all YUV material in High Precission YUV”. The rendering will be done in 10b instead of 8b. This together with setting “Render Motion Effects: BEST”. will be good when downscalling your HDV footage.
The con of this system is that when you make a Double-pass MPG-2 everything in the sequence must be renderd again TWICE even if is already rendered in the sequence.
So the best, at my advice, is to export a ProRess Self-contained and send it to Compressor.
Don’t forget to set “High Precission, etc…
Cheers,
Rfael
