Hi Bruce,

What encoding preset are you using in premiere?

Also, MiniDV is compressed at a 5:1 ratio – DVD is about 24:1 (or so). Even with the compression the DVD should look great. Make sure you are doing a 2 pass VBR encodong with at least 3 or 4 Mbps. This should give you more than satisfactory results.

Hi Creig,

Thanks for your comments.

I think it could be the quality of the AVI files. Is there any way to increase the quality when I capture within Premiere Pro or is there a software on the market to improve the quality?

I seem to also get quite a lot of blur and double image when there’s any movement on the DVD.

Still smiling,

Bruce.

[Scott] “MiniDV is compressed at a 5:1 ratio”

Isn’t MiniDV 4:1:1?

Aanarav,
NTSC MiniDV is 4:1:1. This is the colorspace subsampling
part of DV compression. The numbers represent (Luminence,
Chroma-Blue, and Chroma-Red).

There is more to it beside colorspace subsampling and the
result is about 5:1 total compression for DV.
