Premiere giving my blurry DVD from AVI file
My video quality looks great in Premiere – yet gets blurry when I go to Export avi to DVD using Premeire. I created file using 4:3 24p. I have also tried using Encore, with same results. Also—- my Exported Windows Media files using either 1024 or 512k at frame size 640 x 480 are also same quality – blurry. I need some sound advice please. Thank you!

Let’s start with WMV. 1024K isn’t much for quality, 6Mb/s (6000k) will get you close to DVD quality in WMV.
How long is the DVD, and what bitrate are you using? Anything above 1 hour will start affecting optimal quality.

Have you tested the DVD on a TV? that might not look so bad there. Unless your aim is to watch it on a computer monitor. I’m thinking you are using a DV based avi file which will lose colour and brightness info, making it softer – part of the compression. I suggest you set the timeline to delete the rendered sequence and re-export from that.
Or make an Uncompressed AVI for Encore to encode.
Have you done much colour correction, or other filters on the video?

What is the format of the source AVI file?
make sure that that no corection filters have been applied to the clip and uou are working with a clean AVI file.
I suggest that you begin with a test that involves a short portion of the entire clip (set the work area to about 5 minutes within the time line)and begin with the DV template for NTSC Progressive which should default to a Max bit rate of ~7Mb and quality of 4 and with a 29.97 frame rate. If that looks normal to you, that should indicate either the 24P or other features of your the template that you used are not compatible with the source AVI file or they have been mis-adjusted. If you get the results you were looking for in the test, then stick with the standard templates that meet your requirements based on the test. For every change you make to the standard template, run an additional test to be certain that no change have introduced the incompatibility.
