AE preset: HDTV 29.97 square pixels exported as an avi no compression codec
Encore Preset: NTSC DV High Quality 7MB VBR 2Pass

I realize I can skip the step in premiere and just add the sound separate in encore but that still doesn’t solve my problem.

I know that sd & hd are not comparable in quality, but I have hd movie files that i just want to present in a standard dvd of decent quality. This is posing to be a bigger problem than necessary. The output is so poor it is unusable.

Thanks

Ok, I have an hd video (.avi) that was made in ae, in which i did some minor editing and added sound in premiere. I am exporting from premiere however have tried various settings and don’t know which would be the right one. after exporting the files still look great, but once i import to encore then let it transcode the quality is poor. I notice when I use the premiere export setting mpegdvd it also gives a poor output.
Even when i just take a straight hd video i’ve recorded from my camera and import it to encore I get a crappy output. I am not trying to build a blueray, just a dvd. i’ve tried resizing my original to sd first but that didn’t work either. I’ve tried deinterlacing…no go.

help 🙁

thanks

Hi, I’m new in Encore and have exported a hd video from premiere to make a dvd in encore, however the quality that is outputting is very poor and flickering that i can’t use it. I am assuming it has something to do with my transcode settings or output settings in premiere. It’s frustrating to have a good quality video degraded once i make my dvd. Any help would be appreciated 🙂
