Sony Z1U Export
Hello. Hope everyone is well. I have a sony z1u which outputs from tape as an m2v file. It’s HDV, and 1440×1080. On the LCD it says 1080i 60, so I assume it’s 60i and of course 1080i interlaced. My question is, what is a good preset for working with this? I figured it was the HDV folder, 1080i30, because it dropped to 29.97, 1440×1080 aspect ratio, said ieee 1394 interface(basically everything that sounded right), and yet I was having a pretty fair amount of trouble editing. I also edit DSLR footage on Adobe, and it doesn’t have a problem with that, so I don’t necessarily think it’s my processor. But I’ll play it, and it’s OK, and then after about 10 seconds, it’ll start to stutter. And it won’t let me easily scrub through the footage either.
I’ve done a TON of trial and error here. I exported a 1 minute clip as is through encore, and the image was very interlaced. Tried it with right clicking on the clip and selecting always de-interlace, still had the same interlacing image in the dvd. Decided to try and choose the 1080p hdv folder, as in progressive, because the encore field options are greyed out so I never had the option to choose to make it progressive in Encore. In the hdv progressive preset, I had to render the 1 minute clip, which I did. I didn’t choose always de-interlace, but I outputted to dvd through encore, and the field options in encore were greyed out again. the result was slightly different, with a little less interlace lines, but really not that much.
Then, and here’s where it gets weird, I have an old Pinnacle studio 12 program on my cpu just in case I ever need it. I outputted that clip as a dvd, just normal settings, 29.97, 720×480, and everything, and the result looks great. No interlace lines, nice and smooth. Sooo…question is, how could an inferior program like Pinnacle be able to look better than Adobe? Anyone know what I might be doing wrong in Premiere that I’m getting such bad interlace lines? thanks. -

60i means 60 half frame in a framerate of 29.97. So a HDV 1080i30 is correct preset.
Best way to export hdv interlaced footage to dvd is to export from Premiere to a mpeg2-dvd interlaced preset. Turn on Use max render quality and do not use Preview Files.
Import the two files (video and audio) into Encore, make menu and burn.
Watch dvd on standalone player on tv or on a pc with VLC player with deinterlacing on or a dvd player like Power DVD.———————————————–

Forgot to say: dont forget to set the fields to upper in the mpeg2-dvd preset.

Wasn’t sure if my ‘thank you’ made it, but thanks for the info!
