  HD EX3 to DVD

  Posted by Enrique Orozco on January 5, 2009 at 4:43 pm

  Playing with the EX3 and reading many posts about DVD-downconvert from HD, I try several renders to check quality for SD-DVDs.
  The clip was shoot in 1080 30p with the following render options in Vegas 8.0c (no FX plugins added) once importing mxf file from clip browser 2 (see attached image):
  1- HD1080p timeline
  2- NTSC DV wide timeline with nested HD project
  3- NTSC DV wide timeline with 1080p clip
  4- clip downconverted with clip browser 2 (DV-AVI) on NTSC DV wide

  The results from the 3 first options are almost the same (1st photo), all 4 renders to std.(no changes) DVD arch NTSC-wide template.
  Photos taken from DVD played on powerDVD (capture option).
  The differences are evident; working with the HD clip (on either 3 options) result on a more sharper DVD image BUT with “jagged” edges artifacts on lines… on the other side, downconverting the same HD clip (with clip browser 2) gives a more “fuzzy” image (without the “jagged” problem).
  Testing on a std. TV set also reveals (altough with less details) the problems… I will check the same DVD on a HDTV later…

  

  Any comment or recomendation on how to avoid the artifacts from HD or obtaining the best quality for DVDs with the EX3 would be greatly apreciated.

  All the best.
