video compression for output
Need to get the highest quality AVI file onto a DVD. Problem is the sequence is over 4.7GB and cant fit on a DVD. I have 2 of these sequences, at 2 mins each, and need them both on the same DVD (would be nice).
Q: What is my best option for video compression without very noticable breakup and aliasing around text
They need to be stand alone files otherwise Id burn it as a playable DVD
Thanks

You don’t say who is going to use this DVD.
If you need to give it to someone else, I’d buy a
Dual Layer disk burner – they’re less than $100.If you’re going to use it yourself, there are utilities which will break up a file into two parts. Search on Google

If you are using DV AVI, you should be able to get 20 minutes of video on a DVD-ROM.
So four minutes ought to be a breeze.
What are you shooting with, and what are you exporting as?

Its shot on miniDV and looking to export an avi file.
DV AVI fits but looks like crap.
I tried indeo 5 compression and that looks perfect. but the smaller file size doenst have me convinced its the right choice. also I couldnt get it to play on a mac.Its the text pages and animations that I am really concerned with. Most likely these file will be played on a windows laptop.
Thanks for the help

A DVD that plays on a set top box or with DVD player software on a PC is exported to MPEG2 at around 7Mbps. That is what the studios do, and that is what we do.
DV AVI should look much better than the Indeo codec, so you really need to solve that problem. Does it look bad when you bring it back into Premiere Pro, or is your PC just having trouble playing it in Media player (not uncommon)?
