  • saying movie in AE and making a DVD, what codec?

    Posted by Jayd on July 9, 2005 at 3:59 pm

    Subject basically says it all, I was wondering what the best codec to use if I am going to bring the file into a dvd program to make a dvd. I’m looking for best quality, I’m making a demo reel which is about 2mins long I have lots of hd space so file size isn’t a problem. I was thinking of just making it uncompressed avi or using huffyuv, would that be a good choice? thanks

    If you’re going to be compressing to MPEG2 in your DVD authoring application, you’re best off exporting to uncompressed avi or Quicktime Animation compression at 100%.

    I used to render my AE files to uncompressed AVIs and bring it into Encore DVD for transcoding to DVD. But since my projects have gotten larger and longer (and since I’ve found less problems doing it this new way) I’ve since started rendering directly to MPEG2 in AE 6.5. Encore’s transcoding has had problems with 24P footage. There’s been stuttering and loss of quality. AE’s MPEG2 rendering options far exceed it. Plus, it saves me a lot of intermediate hard drive space. Not that that is an issue for you, but it saves you an extra step anyway. Hope that helps
