Best Compressor encoding setting for DVD

I have an 80 min FCP project. It is a stage show where part of the frame is dark and the stage is light with gels and the Dancers. What is the Best encoding setting for a standard size DVD
I tried 90 minute 2-past best DVD but there was severe blocking/chopping.
Any tricks & tips?
Thanks

I don’t understand that. (Me not so smart.) If there is a standardized Unicode value associated with glyph X, then how is it that none of the Unicode character sets in Firefox abide? Add a font? As I understand it, a font is just a re-representation of known characters. It seems like I’m hearing that not only does there have to be a character set decode of the data I’m viewing, but also a font that takes that Unicode value and translates it to something visual. That doesn’t wash. Between databases data is converted to and fro, irrespective of OS/App fonts installed. Sybase <-> Oracle doesn’t need a font installed. Viewing from SQL I don’t need a font installed.
But – thank you cor-el for effectively resolving my problem – even if I don’t understand the logic. Thank you for taking the time to reply!

  • Compressor setting for DVD Studio Pro

    What's the best Compressor (v.3.5.3) setting for DVD burning in DVD Studio Pro?
    I used DVD: Best Quality 90 but the DVD burned via DVDSP plays on a Mac but not on DVD players and PCs.
    The DVDSP log contains this line for each of the four video and audio assets:
    Note: The file ‘<filename>-MPEG-2 6.2Mbps 2-pass.m2v’ found in the ‘Final edits’ folder is not a DVD-Video file and will not be included in the final disc or DLT.

    Message means nothing.  It could be the brand of DVD media you're using.  Have you tried it on set top DVD players?

  • What are best Mpeg encoder settings for making DVDs?

    In switching from PP1.5 to CS3 the procedure is different for making DVDs and we have to encode mpeg files that later get picked up by Encore DVD build proces. What are the best mpeg encode settings for making the DVDs?
    Thanks,
    Chuck Taylor

    Question:
    If you are doing a video that is small enough that you are not worried about size, what is the absolute best quality encoder settings? Would a Continous Bitrate result in a higher quality file generally? VBR is for trying to make a smaller file I assume.
    I'm frustrated with even white letters on black titles that have some flicker. I just don't seem to get the smooth quality I desire.
    Should I look at a different encoder?
    If you output PP3 to an AVI and then import it into encore, isn't there a reduction of Q. due to the save to the AVI file?
    thanks.

  • Using Compressor to Export for DVD Duel Layer

    I want to Compress for a DVD DL, but all the setting i see in compressor are set for a DVD-5 (4.7 G). How do i get it to be set of a DVD DL (8.5 G)? Please Help

    Jared,
    There are several things to consider when creating a dual-layer disc. First, the first-layer needs to be larger than the second, even if by only one bit. DVDSP4 has the ability to automatically place the layer break in the appropriate place however, it's best to help the process by placing "cell" markers in the timeline at about the halfway mark of the data on your encode. This will help DVDSP find an appropriate place to create the layer-break.
    Also, you can't use the entire 8.5GB on the disk; just like HDD's a portion of the actual data-space on the disk is taken up by metadata and MPEG-2 core files during the encode.
    To really get a handle on how this all works - and to help with any troubleshooting I'd highly suggest these two books:
    DVD Studio Pro 4; Martin Sitter and Adrian Ramseier and; Compressor 3 Quick Reference Guide, Brian Gary (who is a regular poster on these forums).
    Best wishes.

    Not so sure of that "just plain logic." Allowing  sleep too often will cause wear on the drive -- excessive spin up and spin down. Temperature permitting, a drive will last longer if just left running.
    For other hardware, a lot will have to do with the internal temps. When it's quite hot here, I allow the computer to sleep more often. But otherwise, it's a bit of this and a bit of that. I wouldn't personally recommend running 24/7, although I know of several here who claim they do, with no apparent adverse effects over many years.

  • Best photoshop setting for DVD Menu

    Does anyone know what the best photoshop preset is for the Menu?
    Currently I have a 1280x720 file, and it pixilates slightly when added to the SD Menu. I want to suggest a better resolution to the client, and don't want to waste time testing it if someone already has the answer.
    Thanks!

    ehh sorry to be redundant, found the answer in someone else's thread.

  • Best HD Encoding Workflow for Web

    Hi
    I am wanting to have HD video files shot on Sony XDCAMEX format
    (1920 x 1080, 24p) encoded for the Web to be deployed at
    full-screen high-quality and am wondering what
    the best encoding workflow for this is in terms of exporting from FCP to
    either Uncompressed or H.264 and then using Sorensen Pro perhaps?
    thanks,
    Evan

    If you don't know as much as you say, than I highly suggest hiring a consultant. DO NOT rely on what you hear from these forums, as many people will give you bad advice. And not to mention that that is a lot of ground to cover and to expect to learn about from an online forum. There are those of us who spend years and decades obtaining the knowledge we have, often paying for advice from consultants.
    I can highly recommend Mike Curtis in the Austin Texas area for consulting: www.hdforindies.com. Also Larry Jordan at www.larryjordan.biz...Phil Hodgetts at www.digitalproductionbuzz.com...and myself at www.LFHD.net.
    You get what you pay for. Free advice might be sketchy. And consumer monitors via HDMI will get you good results if you plan on delivering DVDs, but not if you plan on any sort of broadcast delivery.
    If you have customers that want to do HD production they need to talk to HD production experts, not web people. I would not recommend any broadcast people to consult about web delivery...I know I wouldn't recommend myself.

  • Best QT export setting for istockphoto?

    Hi.
    I want to export my footage using PPro CS5 for uploading onto istockphoto.com.
    The required format is QuickTime (Photo-JPEG).
    This is the source summary:
    1440x1080 (1.3333), 29.97fps, Upper
    (was shot with Sony AX2000)
    Does anyone know the best export setting for this footage?
    I tried this...
    Format:QT
    Preset:Custom
    Codec:Photo-JPEG
    1440x1080
    29.97fps
    Upper First
    Aspect: HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)
    Then, the exported video looks vertically streched...
    What am I doing wrong?
    Please help.
    Thank you!
    Kitty_Kai

    You're probably doing nothing wrong.  Many players will not unsqueeze the footage automatically, you have to tell it to do that with a keypress or menu setting.

  • What is the best heap memory setting for JBoss?

    I am running a Windows 2003 server and JBoss is running as service.  The current heap configurations is 1024, but I am having some problems with the service failing.  What is the optimal heap memory setting?  Thank you,

    There is no optimal memory setting for LiveCycle.
    It depends on the components you have chosen to deploy.  If Content Services ES2 is deployed, your heap size settings should be about 2 GB, otherwise 1.0 - 1.7 GB might suffice.

    If you want to play your dvd on a big HD tv you need a dvd-player with upscaler otherwise it will look awful.
    Use DL or export your timeline directly to mpeg2-dvd.

  • Best way to compress for DVD Studio Pro

    i have been bringing in a reference movie into DVDSP and burning/authoring from there with chapter markers. Is this the best quality or should I go through compressor? if so, does compressor keep my chapter markers? it is a 30 minute dvd and when I have used compressor before it can take hours. thoughts? is there a big difference in quality between the two? thanks

    Some general things to keep in mind for compression

    http://dvdstepbystep.com/faqs_3.php
    Compressor is going to give you more control than just bringing .mov into DVD SP. I will often use self contained movies in case I need to re-encode, can save some time. Compressor will keep chapter markers if you put them in properly in Final Cut and exported them properly (set them as Chapter Markers in FC and include Chapter Markers on export from FC.)
    A half hour movie shouldn't take hours, but it does depend on your machine, what frame controls you have set, what Codec etc....

  • Encoding Video for DVD?

    I want to make a DVD that will play in home players, though I do not need to make a menu using DVD SP. Is there a way to encode video straight from FCP into a file that will play in a DVD player?
    Thanks.

    This is really a question for the DVDSP forum, but the sum of it is that you use Compressor to encode your video to MPEG2 and your audio to 2 channel Dolby, then import those two files into DVDSP as Assets and drop them into the Timeline in DVDSP.
    That will be Track 1, so select the disc in the Outline and in the Inspector, and you should find a drop down menu to make Track 1 the First Play. That's basically it, but I usually do one or two other things.
    One: If this is for a trade show, or even a client approval disc, I'll set the Jump To for Track 1 to be Track 1. That will cause it to loop until the user stops it.
    Two: I'll create a simple menu with a single PLAY button in the center, and map that button to play Track 1. That way, if the client inadvertently drops out of the play loop and wants to get back into it, s/he can do it by hitting Menu on the remote and pressing Select.
    More details on all of this are contained in your Fine Manual.

  • Best way to export for DVD

    Hi Guys
    Right, I am exporting to DVD and i want to know the best way to do this at the highest quality, but also, so the DVD will play on most players.
    I am shooting in HDV 1080i 60, importing to Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 (the older final cut pro) using the apple intermediate codec.
    I want to make the best quality SD dvd. The content is rarely over 5 minute's (kids music videos) but i am preparing a 50 minute show which needs to be put on DVD.
    I usually use; export to quicktime movie, with the setting dv pal 48 khz anamorphic, i use DVD studio pro also to make the DVD, but not sure what the best settings are.
    PLEASE HELP.

    The BEST export method I have found by comparing them all is by exporting using Compressor and the DVD Best Quality setting. Now this setting gives you a few different options for length of your project: 120 minutes, 150 minutes, or 90 minutes. And then with each of these length options comes the option of 4:3 or 16:9. So if your project is 50 minutes, select the DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes option, either 4:3 or 16:9 depending what your project is. After laying your cursor over this option it will open up a list of audio options. What I do is just select the "All" option, which then lists all 3 audio options in your batch window: AIFF, Dolby 2.0, and MPEG-2. What I then do is just delete the MPEG and Dolby options, leaving the AIFF. After waiting for it to compress (make sure you specify a destination for the files so you can find them) it will give you 2 files, an MPEG-2 file which is the movie file, and an AIFF file (looks like an itunes file) that is the audio file. At this point, open up DVD Studio Pro and drag these 2 files into the assets window, and you're good to go from there. Hope this helped.
