poor mpeg2 results from Compressor
I have experimented with various source files from DV to uncompressed 10bit for compressing 60 minute DVD mpegs. I have used many different settings in Compressor from constant to variable bit rates, single and two pass… All of them turn out relatively poor quality results when compiled in DVD Studio. Lots of artifacts and digital dropout, about as good looking as VHS.
Short of buying a hardware encoder does anyone have any suggestions?

I don’t. But I sure wish SOMEONE did.
All I can add is a “me too” to the conversation.

Simple dissolves look terrible using compressor.
Same as you…tried 10 bit uncompressed sequence
from digibeta clips, to DVCAM to DVCPRO clips and
sequences. Used the one and two pass settings..
tried different bit rates as high as I could go before
it said the bit rate was too high. Used Dolby or AIFF.
I still get pixelated dissolves when viewing the finished
DVD made with DVD Studio Pro.
This is “pro” encoding?The stuff I make for the web using the H.264 codec
look fantastic, even with the medium setting.
So what’s up with Apple’s mpeg2 encoding?Dan

A big “me too” also. My web H.264 stuff is amazing. My MPEG-2 conversions through Compressor to DVDSP are terrible. I get horrendous artifacts/pixelation/and worst of all a strange subtle flashing from lighter to darker, at about 2 times per/sec in areas of no movement. I’ve tried messing with all the GOP, bit rate, and VBR settings. No luck. I sure wish DVD’s could take my H.264’s!
Any help?
