I’m outputting from Premiere at 7CBR. VBR target 7, max 8. Highest quality MPEG2-DVD…quality at 5. Same framerate etc.
Now here’s the WEIRD thing. I outputted the same test clip from After Effects, and the sucker is as clear as a bell. Same settings as far as I can tell.
Does Premiere use a “fisher-price” version of the encoder or what? 🙂 This is just weird weird weird.
