Exporting HDV to SD DVD
Hello,
I am new to adobe cs5 and I have been reading through the threads seeking answers to my problem…I am hoping someone can help me:
I captured HD 1920X1080 footage from my Canon t3i DSLR and created a project in Premiere Pro. I need help knowing the process for turning it into an SD DVD so that it is viewable on a regular DVD.
I tried exporting it as a quicktime movie and it took 10 hrs to render (it is 1:16mins long) and the properties said it was 16G. That is really big, and I want to put it on a DVD-R (4.7G).
Can someone suggest what are my next steps…and confirm the correct process/outputs for this?
As a test I brought the quicktime mov file into it into Encore and created a DVD…I just used the default settings and am not really sure if I did things correctly.

Hi Justin,
Choose MPEG 2- DVD
Set your video settings to:
2 pass VBR.
Set Max: 7.5 Mb/s – Aver: 6.35 – Min: 2.5
Make sure you check Max Quality (Better downscaling)
Take another day off for rendering 🙂
PS: Try https://dvd-hq.info/bitrate_calculator.php to get the correct bit rate settings for your next DVD.
For anything under 1 hour, you can use 7.5 Mb CBR.

Thanks Vince…I am brand new to this…I actually encoded to MPEG2-DVD and it worked. I have not tried to the other specs you mentioned but will have a look.
Where do you suggest a person could go online to learn more about this topic?
Thanks!

Hi Justin,
Feel free to ask more questions here. I don’t know of any particular resources that will help with Premiere DVD encoding options, other than the help file itself.
A good bit rate calculator should be all you need to calculate your settings. It also help to understand GOP structure. This pretty much the only thing I found in the little time I had…
