HDV to SD DVD
Hi,
I’ve read a few threads on this topic but can’t seem to find a satisfactory answer. Trying to make a 16:9 SD DVD out of a HDV timeline.
I export with compressor and make it in DVD Studio Pro but always get interlaced/motion problems (strobey stuff??).
I have the field set to top first etc. but no joy. Any definitive advice? I’m working in PAL.
Thanks in advance,
Johnny White

Johnny –
I had this problem as well – What i found was that i needed to do three things to get a qualiy output in SD from HD source.
1) Set compressor to LOWER field dominance.. i know HDV is upper.. but that setting didnt work for me in compressor 2.. lower worked fine
2) set the GOP setting to IP. This was more of a tweak which got much better quality (at least for the material i was encoding)
3) DONT use any VBR setting. use the CBR setting and use as high of a bit rate as you can (in my case i could use 7.5mb/s since i didnt have a very long movie – only 26 mins).
let me know how that works!
