HDV footage
I have a Sony HVR-V1U and premier pro CS4. I am trying to determine the best setting for capture and export right now I select the HDV 1080i 60 preset to capture my footage I shot with the 24P option turned on. Is this the correct way to do this the footage looks good playing from the timeline. Also when I export the footage what option should I select there is alot of different options to choose from I’m assuming H.264 with the 1440x1080p 24fps option but the footage looks choppy and blurry.

You’ll find the 24p cineframe is a 24p look embedded into a 60i (29.97) signal. Therefore not true 24p.
Try to export only a section you know looked bad in the 24p export as 60i and tell us if that looks way better…
On the flip side try to make a new seq set to true 24p and then add the seq as a nest to it then run a 24p export and compare the same section agains the 1at render.

Thanks for the response Jon, well after taking a few test shots around the house I uploaded my shots as HDV 1080p 24 preset in premiere for my sequence. After making subtle changes to my videos I rendered them as MPEG-2 with the HDTV 1080p preset with the pull down option set to 2:3. The video appeared much cleaner then any of the other methods but there was some blurriness. Am I getting quality loss from going from a 1440×1080 source, rendering it to a 1920×1080 mpeg-2 then having Encore transcode it into 720×480 on a normal DVD? In Sony’s literature about the camera I purchased the HVR-V1U it is suppose to have a 1920×1080 video output is this only for playing through the HDMI output or is it for the I-link output also? Im still new at all this.

1440 stretched to 1920 will look softer. If u are going down to DVD res I’d do it outside of encore. But I would bother making the 1440 to 1920 either. BluRay Can run with 1440 and the player will scale it to 1920. Pushing and pulling the pixels wastes time and generation loss.
Try a comparison of the mpeg2 DVD res direct from the timeline of the HD edit then a nest in a SD timeline.
