Ping?
-
I’m thinking the cause of the spike is a small logo in the rolling credits, but as I am contractually req’d to have it there, I cannot cut it. I’m not sure what I can do to reduce its quality.
I’ll try the AVI approach.

The project settings advanced tab are: automatic transcoding: 7.0 Mbps, audio transcoding: PCM.
I’ve exported it yet again, and this time at VBR (1 pass), with min of 4, target of 6, max of 8 Mbps. The DVD check completes fine now in Encore, but upon build I get the following error:
PGC “Movie” has an error at 00;23;27;28. The data rat of this file is too high for DVD. You must replace the file with one of a lower data rate. -PGC Info: name=movie, ref=Xpgc, time=00:23:27:28
Then it stops. By the way: that time code is seconds from the end of the credits…I wonder if it times with a logo in the end of the credits…
This is driving me nuts. I really appreciate your help though!

I’ve just re-encoded in APP CS3 as a mpeg2 elemental files (no multiplexing), CBR set at 7Mbps (and PCM audio for the audio file…I apparently don’t have the Surecode Dolby codec).
Despite this, Encore CS3 still claims the bitrate for the movie timeline is too big.
I don’t get it…any thoughts?

Since my product is just 23 minutes, I set it to CBR 8 Mbps…but Encore claimed the bitrate is too high. Should I go down to 7 Mbps, or is there a way to find a sweet spot between 7 and 8 that Encore will accept. (And why does Encore balk at what should be a constant 8 Mbps?)
Thanks again,

What settings do I want for the highest quality MPEG2 streams? Do I risk too much bit rate with this manual process? I’m presently using auto transcode within Encore.

Thanks for the response.
I am only noticing the interlaced lines on my PC when I go through my workflow using the CS3 programs. When I do it with the APP 1.5 and Encore 2.0, the resulting DVD as played on my PC does not have these lines visible…something somehow is different between the too.
I wish to export in this uncompressed format b/c I am also going to use the same file to save to other formats, including to tape.
However, what format would be ideal to export to Encore? Obvious the highest quality is my desire.

Thanks, it seemed to work out all right. I had some issues beyond just the frame moving during the print, like it slightly distorted…I just had to keep them as it was hard to undistort to match the frames following, but it looks well enough. Thanks again for you advice! Derek

Am I selecting all of the keyframes (target keyframes & anchor point keyframes)? But my position on the last one, which should be at the original location (aka what would result when I click “reset”) I haven’t played with it yet, but doing it just for the anchor point seems to make everything run smooth up to that last frame…then it sort of jerks into final position.
thanx
