Great! Sounds good. I will have to try this out when I get home. Make another copy to Mpeg 2 and see how the experience differes. Less transcode time would be good. I ended up being 19 min late for the contest deadline due to my first burning of the DVD failing!

Do you also think that if I used a 3 chip camera instead of a 1 chip camera, that my video would turn out alot better? …

Awesome! You guys are great! I am learning alot! Thanks!

Right now I have been exporting to Quicktime, but now I think I will export as an MPEG-2 (I think I have the capability) and then add that to the dvd create project. Maybe I won’t have to wait the thirty or so minutes it usually takes to transcode a 14 minute video!

Right now I have been making the DVD with a 14 minute or so video, and a 10 minute gag reel. Holy cow. I didn’t know you could fit like 4 hours on a 4.7 gig DVD. Do they sell DVDs bigger than that? Also, does the write speed of the DVD burner make a difference.

Yes, that was a typo, with the picture size. You are right, it was 720 x 480. I don’t have the 4:3 aspect ratio box checked because this makes it come out to be, like 720 x 484 or something. Does that make a difference?

Also, which is better quality? MPEG or Quicktime.mov?

Thanks all for the help!!!

Wow, I’m enthusiastic about the support you guys are lending!

I am using Adobe 6.5, capturing using Adobe from my JVC handycam on a firewire connection. I edited using the Adobe 6.5, then exported as a Quicktime movie which I saved in my documents. Then, I fired up MyDvd (burning program), added that movie to that project, and created a DVD that way. The movie looks fantastic on the computer, but not on TV.

I did make on change. In Adobe 6.5, you can check the Settings Viewer. I did this, and saw that the screen size for export was not the same as the ones where I captured and imported. So I changed that, it was like 780 X 420, I believe. The new image came out better, less underwater and pixelated, but still not as good as I want it, not as good as the computer.

I know the DVD authoring software does something called transcoding when it makes the DVD…

Also, I don’t know what version of codec to use, basically I do not know anything about codecs or what they do. I know the first couple I exported using the Planar RGB one, and I can’t remember what I used most recently.

Are those codecs you spoke of free to download somewhere?

Thank you all for the assist on this!!!

I googled an Adobe Premiere forum tonight for this very reason, also.

I need help!

I recently created a movie for the 48 hour film contest and it was my first movie with Adobe 6.5. I was unable to burn it to DVD in a high quality format. It came across pixelated, kind of and underwater look at times. The other competitors used Final Cut Pro from what I gather, and theirs looked almost professional quality. Please tell me that it is possible to capture/export/burn to dvd my video in high quality, as well.

I am currently using a JVC DV HandyCam to take digital video. I am using Adobe 6.5.

What settings should I be using??? I am currently exporting with a 4:3 apsect ratio, capturing at 29.97 frame rate, and exporting at a 30 frame rate. I have the quality bar set to the highest. Other than this, I don’t know what I can do!!! I am using 48khz for audio, even though that probably doesn’t matter. Does it matter what frame/picture size I use???

Please, tell me that if I dial in the right settings I can get high picture output quality burned to DVD from my Adobe Premiere 6.5!
