Making a DVD with 24p HDV footage
Hello all,
I shot some HDV footage at 24p for a project that needs to make it to an SD DVD, and I’m having some trouble with pulldown, interlacing, etc. Here’s my workflow…
1. I edited the piece in FCP with the original HDV 24p sequence settings.
2. I exported an HDV 24p quicktime when I finished
3. I brought that quicktime into compressor to perform pulldown. My settings are 10bit uncompressed SD anamorphic, 29.97fps, dominance set to bottom field, rate conversion set to “fast”, duration at “100% of source”
4. I bring the new 10bit uncompressed quicktime back into compressor for conversion to mpeg-2 for DVD Studio ProWhen I bring the final quicktime into DVD Studio Pro, I get jittering, stuttering, wierd interlacing, etc. Any problem with my workflow? I tried creating a progressive quicktime with better results, but still not as smooth as I would like. Any thoughts?

yeah extra steps you don’t need to do.
take the exported 24p HDV file from fcp.
encode as a 16:9 mpeg2 for DVD, set the frame rate to 23.98
also make sure the resize filter is on and set for best.bring that into dvd studio pro.
thats all you have to do. dvd players do the pulldown.
