Exporting for DVD Players
Hi guys,
I’m a newbie to After Effects and I am working on my first project. I have exported the video into H264 Video and it looks great on my computer, but when I burn it onto a DVD and watch it on a LCD TV, the quality is pretty bad even I have set to burn in best quality. I have tried Encore to import the compositions from the project files and create a DVD image directly from them, but the result is about the same poor. What settings should I use in order to export a High Quality DVD from AE? Please help…

That’s a good question. I’ve been wondering the same thing, but in my case…It’s using either iDVD or DVD Studio Pro. What I usually do is render my AE project using the Quicktime Animation codec (with all settings on the highest quality possible), then import the QT movie into FCP and export it as a QT movie using the DV NTSC 48kH setting. This seems to work the best for me quality-wise (though it DOES seem pretty ass-backwards). If there’s a more direct way, I’m all ears!

Thanks for the help! One more question, since I only have Adobe package in my computer, can AE (Render)-> Premiere (Conversion/Compression)-> Encore (Author) do the trick also? Or it must be FCP + DVD Studio Pro? Will the quality vary alot?

Dave,
What settings do you use in Compressor? This would be a HUGE help! Thanks in advance!

Dave,
Thanks for sharing your settings. I would need to encode either :15 or :30 commercials to burn to DVD. I would imagine that wouldn’t take too long using the settings you described, correct? Thanks again!
