  • Poor Compression Quality

    Posted by Stephanie Brodeur on June 22, 2010 at 6:20 pm

    I recently shot video using a Sony HVR-A1U in 1080i and recorded directly onto an HVR-dr60 hard drive. The quality of the original footage is perfect. After editing, my video is 94 minutes and I need to burn it onto standard definition DVD’s. My first attempt, using compressor DVD presets, was tragic. While the audio was acceptable, the video became so degraded that I cannot even make out facial features. I am baffled because I have done this before and gotten much better results. I must be overlooking something this time around but I can’t seem to figure it out. I toyed with several setting and the results are not any better.

    Could the problem be with my sequence? If so, what should I check?

    Is there a way to compress differently so that there is not such drastic degradation? I understand that it will look different than the original, but right now, it is unwatchable.

    Help will be much appreciated.

    Again, who knows, you haven’t provided us with any useful information. We have no idea what preset you used or the various encoding parameters you may have entered.

    Toyed with what settings?

    Please help us to help you.
