Elliot,
You haven’t tell us yet in which screen your watching your DVD. If you are still with the Mitsubitshu, please have a look to this thread:https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/21/856322?univpostid=856322&pview=t,
If you are editing in DV, what Rusell suggest about to smothing the chroma is a very good idea. But to see the results you must set your time-line in a 422 codec. DV50 at least.
You can push the data rate of the DVD whenever you know that the DVD player will cope with it. You also can work with shorter GOPs This is useful for movies with a lot of movement. The compression can be better, but this also force you to use higher data-rate with the mentioned risks. However those processes need that you make few test because there is not a universal set-up.
You must take as well in consideration the audio you are using. Aiff it sound much better than .AC3, but increase a lot the total data rate.
Russell, I used to export to Compressor from the FC time-line because the “Compression marks” I think they are useful but I don’t like to set them by hand). Bu somebody ensured me that when exporting refference movies Compressor keeps the “compressor Marks” in all the cuts and transitions.

Hi Jason,
When in AE, make sure that your footage (Interprete footage) and your “Composition setting” have the same size and the same pixel aspect ratio. Your clip should fit in the Composition.

Hi Chris,
I’ve got just a G5 2x2Gbs with 4Gb RAM. Normally when I send a Self-contained or ref movie, it takes just a bit more than the same duration of the film for a “One pass” MPG2. And “Two passes” a bit more than the double. With your copmputer must to be faster.
If I send from the time-line and there is a lot of rendering, can take ages.

Sorry I forgot to tell you. Is freeware.

Hi jonski,
There is a great application call MPGStreamclip. Just type in Google and you will find it.
Open your VOBs with the application and export QT movie. You can choose the codec and the audio set-ups. I recommend you. to get the best from the DVD, to export in DVCPro 50 or even better codec. Don’t export DV because you will get a DV Stream as the used by iMovie, and In FC must be full rendered.

Hi,
I dont work in NTSC and I’ve never worked with 24f, but I think that this is the use of the Pulldown removal, to convert the NTSC 23’9 in 29’9. I think that there is other set-up without the Pulldown removal to keep the 23’9 frame rate.

Elliot, the Holliwood movies have not interlacing problems becouse has being shot in cinema, so no interlacing.
The same that you can get with Shake, you can do it with Compressor. They use the same engine. But in Shake I would suggest you a different way than the one that Alan point. If you bring your clip to Shake, in the Timing tab there is an option: CONVERT.
This is the recommended path. Recommended by Apple, not by me.
If you want to use Compressor, you have to go to “Frame control” and set it in custom. As I tell you the two applications will do the same job. Don’t try to set all the parameters to “Best”. Read the manual of Compresor or Shake about this task. Anyway be ready for a long, long rendering.
And anyway before to undertake the job, as long as you got your DVD ready done, check it in a TV set,

Animation codec is RGB so I don’t think is the best if you go to end up in divex that, if I;m not wrong, is MP4, so YCrCb based.
Animation make very big files. You can get the same quality with much smallers files. With PhotoJPEG 100%, 8b Unc for example.
Also if you are not exporting Alpha chanell, export in Millions of Colors. Never Millions+ . This doen’t give more quality but add an alpha Channel. 32 bits instead of 24. Bigger files for nothing.

Well Eliot, I’ve just made a fast search in Google and have a look, and although it could sound stupid, but I think is too good machine for playing a SD DVD.
I would recommed you to watch your DVD in a cheap TV set. I read few threads of people complaining about how bad can look SD video in a HD screen.
So go and play it in the house of a friend in a domestic player. Is the best test.
