Proper way to handle black levels when going to DVD
Can someone confirm this for me? 0 or higher on scope? Encoding to mpeg2 for DVD in Premiere.
Source material is AVCHD 4.2.0. YUV.
I do not have an external scope or output at this time, hopefully will soon, and yes I am aware of the importance of that.
I should add that I understand the general concepts. What I am still unclear on is how Premiere and Encore handle this.
I have been researching the 0-255 vs 16-235 issue regarding this exhaustively and am back where I started. Only with a headache.
Please forgive me for this very basic question that I should know by now- for some reason I am missing a piece of the picture.
Thank you -

Do you really mean DVD (standard def) or Blu-Ray (HD)?
System:
Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
Win 7 64-bit
32GB RAM
Adobe CC 2015.02 (as of 6/2016)
256GB SSD system drive
4 internal media drives RAID 5
Typically cutting short form from HD MP4 and P2 MXF. -
Standard

When you export from Premiere the format you’re exporting to mandates what levels it should have. You should not need to do anything manually unless it’s some weird non-standard format.
