Problems with my render from Premiere Pro
-
If you are making a square pixel sequence to fit into a PAL output then I think you should scale everything to 1024×576. I haven’t delt with PAL for a while so my memory might be off on that but there are presets for it in Photoshop so you can check there. This should then scale properly when dropped into an anamorphic sequence.
As for bit rate, the theoretical maximum for the DVD format is 10Mbps, which included video, audio subtitles etc. So your 7Mbps video + 128kbps audio should be fine. But when I was learning about DVDs I remember reading somewhere that some players can stutter if you get too close to that max. If I only had short sequences I would encode the video at 6Mbps and 192kbps Dolby Digital audio.
Both Dolby Digital and PCM are valid formats for DVD but you don’t often get PCM. I think for the same reason as mentioned above, the extra bandwidth can cause some machines to stutter.

The method with cropping seems to work alright so I think I’ll just stick with that, it’s a very easy solution 🙂 Would you use CBR or VBR for the encoding?

If you clip is short go for CBR. That way you don’t have to do a multipass encode to get a good result so it will be faster. And the result will be as good as it gets.

oups, posted this reply in the wrong place (see the right one below) 🙂

I was also thinking to go with CBR – but I wondered if there could be compatibility differences between VBR or CBR? I would guess it doesn’t matter, but I seem to get a little mixed opinions on that topic when i google it.
I also sometimes get the feeling that I could use a higher bitrate than those 6-7 mbps and it would still playback on the vast majority of DVD players – but I guess I’m better safe than sorry 🙂
