I’ve found the solution – the movie format has to be set to .flv not .f4v
now it works on a remote server fine.

Thanks me.

There’s no way to do this in Encore.

I had to recreate a new NTSC project, convert all PAL files to NTSC and reauthor.

A real pain!

I’ve read that the best way to do both PAL and NTSC is to just create an NTSC DVD and it should play in PAL players. I tried creating an NTSC and my sony DVD player wouldn’t play it. So decided it was a too risky option.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Eric.

My source video was rendered out of after effects as progressive 1920×1080. Would encore automatically make that 50i?

Also does Profile 2 mean region 2?…I’m a bit confused on that.

Thanks for your quick response

Thanks for the reply.

That would be best, unfortunately it’s a very complex composite and took many weeks to produce so wouldn’t fancy adjusting the actual comp. I will go for the standard retime option as you mentioned and live with the audio pitch change.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry I think you misunderstood – I just meant if the pull down doesn’t look write when I bring it into encore I will just rerender out of after effects as progressive. It’s a 3d render so has always been progressive.

Fantastic response Kevin – very very clear. Thanks for your help.

I’ll bring the videos with the pull down into encore and see how it looks. If it looks dodgy i’ll rerender without pulldown. It’s annoying that I did use pull down, as they are taking a lot longer to render and they are about 5 mins each!

Thanks again.

I also forgot to mention the comp in question is 1920×1080 progressive.

Thanks Kevin.

That’s interesting. I found that link but wasnt sure if the same applied to blu-ray, as people are saying that blu-ray is strictly 24fps.

Seeing as my source comp is progressive do I definately not need to set the fields and pull down?

I just rendered a load of PAL 720p videos in this way with fields ready for a NTSC DVD. Was the the wrong thing to do?

Thanks for your help.

July 27, 2011 at 8:04 pm in reply to: PAL and NTSC video formats on single Worldwide playable DVD

Thanks Danny that’s great, NTSC it is.

Does that mean I need to concert all non NTSC videos to 29.97fps before beginning to author the DVD through encore?

If so, exactly what format do all videos need to converted to .eg frame rate, dimensions, progressive/interlaced, quicktimes format?

Which software is this best done in, or can encore simply import and convert on the fly if I use a NTSC setup?

Thanks for your help.
