Good windows video codecs?
I have the infamous Everio HD-GZ7 camera which records as a .tod format. The format from what I have researched is a mpeg format with some bits on the end to avoid copyright infringment? I have to convert these so After Effects and Premiere can read them. I’m currently using Mpeg Streamline and a user guided me away from exporting to mpeg. What is the best way to export from mpeg streamline? Do I need to buy different software? My footage is 1920×1080. I’ve done the Quicktime animation and it left me with a 28gb file for a 30 minute sermon. Will I be able to fit that on a dvd when exporting from Premiere? Any guidance or link I can research will be much appreciated.

Ok. I just never used a 28gb file before. I have rendered (from the render queue) a 30second clip into both quicktime animation and jpeg and it plays smooth for like 7 seconds then it is choppy as can be. My original footage is 29.97fps and quitime wants to set it at 30. If I choose 29.97 from the drop-down menu it says to change FPS in another location. Is this small difference making my video choppy? The original (before AE) is smooth.

Do you mean choppy as in playback starts to stutter? This is probably because the file sizes are huge and your computer is having a hard time keeping up. The original will be smooth because it’s mpeg, compressed and small. Once you burn the file to DVD it won’t be a problem anymore. Assuming this is your problem…

The only things I have done to the footage is keyed the background and have placed some HD footage bought from videocopolit. I changed the horizontal position of the person speaking as well. It is interlaced footage so I will do the interpret footage as you said. I knew this was not going to be a cakewalk. I’ve looked for some classes around town. I am willing to learn, just ignorant of where to start.

Yes it starts to stutter. The audio keeps going and the lips will stop and then jump to catch up. The only thing hardware wise that would be lacking in my pc is my HDD. I believe it still spins at 7200rpm though

What I am trying to do for now is create and introduction and an exit scene that will be used for multiple sermons. I was just trying to use AE to render these clips and align them all with my footage in Premiere. I guess I will try other codecs you were talking about. But it has to be 1920×1080 to match my footage in Premiere, correct?

I checked my field settings as you said and they were wrong. I put them to lower and it came out smooth. I found a guide from Adobe on how to find the field manually if I am unaware. Thanks for the tip.
