1. My computer has a dvd burner but all available ports on my motherboard are in use for a RAID array that i installed after buying it.
2.) Yes I’m using .9 pixels
3. The comps that I’m rendering have a lot of moving text and shapes and stuff that would probably look better interlaced.
4. “Did you confirm that your interlaced renders are indeed interlaced?” the PNG sequence LOOKs interlaced and so does the quicktime final. Whether or not they are correctly done I can’t say because I can’t preview them on a TV.
5. “When you re-render, you should only render interlaced if you have something moving (keyframed motion) in your comp and you want an interlaced result. Otherwise, don’t render interlaced, because rendering progressive just leaves your interlaced sources unchanged.”
— this is the most alarming thing I’ve read so far. Are you telling me to… render the PNG sequence intermediate interlaced, then render the final quicktime progressive? I can’t wrap my head around that maybe explain more? I thought Encore would want an interlaced source (the final quicktime)…
