Why did you shoot it at 15fps progressive?
What MPEG2 settings did you use in Compressor?
Why are you using Compressor?
Why have you chosen this route without knowing what you were doing?
What is your backup plan in case there is no viable solution?bogiesan
Ok, so. My target output is DVD (MPEG-2 needed first, of course). I shot it at 15fps progressive because I am using a DCR-TRV900 and the progressive mode gives much better image quality, but it only records 15fps and then doubles all of the frames to simulate 30 frames. I am using compressor because i want to end up with an MPEG-2 to burn onto a dvd in dvdsp 4. I chose this route because I thought i kne what i was doing, but honestly have never worked in prog. mode before. My backup plan was to come too creativecow in case I ran into trouble. Ok, so now do you have any suggestions for me as to why my output is getting so poor in qulaity when i go from fcp straight to compressor, and why it looks GREAT in the timeline, but horrible as MPEG-2??? (My settings in compressor were 90 min best DVD, 16:9, and this loss of quality occurs no matter what dominant field I choose. Bottom, top, progressive, OR automatic).Alexander Gao

true. curves is definitely a must be built-in. Also, a more competent deinterlacer.

and, do you mean the MPEG2 or the final dvd?

when i said dvdsp or idvd will have to re-encode, (which it will also have to do for the things i mentioned) i meant that h.264 is already not a pristine encoding, and re-encoding that will just make an overall loss of quality.

why would you use h.264? DVDSP or iDVD will just have to re-encode that. Also, you’re gonna need some more space. Ok, so how long is your project? (Again, get more space). You could try photo-JPEG qt (i’m not sure if that can be put into dvdsp) but the best would probably be the animation codec.

what is it exactly that doesn’t look good? Is there artifacting, or…

NEVERMIND! I accidentally went to jpeg sequence rather than photo jpeg.

thanks a lot. any input on what to pick under format options in JPEG for progressive footage?

thanks or your help. i figured it out. When it renders, it is no longer in 16×9 and looks fine, and then interpreting it in fcp as rectangula pixels fixes the problem.

won’t that just give me half the resolution though?
