PP2 vs. ProCoder…Anyone?
Hi, hi, hi, premiere gurus,
here’s the question:
When i export out of PP2 in a Windows Media format, encoded in WMV 9, the resulting image looks slightly blurrier then the same export out of ProCoder. Are there any known issues, that ProCoder just has a better encoding engine then PP2?
The video bitrate is set to 900 for both but could anyone clarify the peak video bitrate and the video buffer size, as in where they should be in accordance to my average video bitrate.
also, the keyframe interval is set to 8 (which i’m actually not sure what that means) and the decoder complexity is set to auto (should it be set to complete?).
thanks. cheers!

It looks like you do have different settings. As far as I know, these three methods all use Windows Media Encoder 9, which by the way is free on the Microsoft website, and that’s your best option. Procoder is no longer supporting Adobe Premiere, and I found it to be quite unreliable.
The peak video bitrate would have to do with a variable bit rate. The higher the peak, the better will your high motion shots look.
The buffer rate has to do with playback. The longer the buffer (loading time) the less likely the wideo will freeze on slower connections, but also the longer, the more likely people will leave before the playback ever starts.
Keyframes is a topic too complex for me to even get into in this thread, so I will let you Google it up.
Until then, you should keep it at the default value.
Cheers,
Vince
