Best quality HDV to DVD using Premier Pro CC to Media Encoder CC and Encore
I have been struggeling to create a decent looking DVD from my HD video. I am a newbe. And I have read many, many forum posts trying to learn the best practice and have come out even more confused. Many posts are back in 2009 and I don't think they apply. Some recommend dynamic link which does not appear to be an option for me. So I am hoping to get a clear answer to my problems. I am including alot of info because I don't know what is really important.
I have 2 types of video that I am merging into my sequences.
Sony:
Format : AVC
Bit rate : 11.5 Mbps
Maximum bit rate : 16.0 Mbps
Width : 1 440 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 29.970 fps
Scan type : Interlaced
Scan order : Top Field First
JVC:
Format : AVC
Bit rate : 16.3 Mbps
Maximum bit rate : 17.0 Mbps
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 29.970 fps
Scan type : Interlaced
Scan order : Top Field First
I set my sequence in Premier Pro CC to
AVC-Intra 50 1080i
29.97 fps
1440 x 1080
HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.3333)
30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
Hopefully I set up my sequence correctly???
Dynamic Link is not available to me, so I export the sequence. This is where i get confused.
I export to MPEG2-DVD. Preset NTSC DV Wide
Some forum posts say to tweek the video setting for better quality, this is what I have read:
quality to 100
minimum bit rate 4
target bitrate 6
maximum bitrate 7
click maximum render quality
Since my source has upper field order but PP defaults to lower field order, should I switch to upper?
I encode in Media Encoder.
In Encore, I have my dvd settings:
MPEG-2
720x480
29.97 fps
Lower fields first (should this be upper??)
I have an i5 processor, 8G ram, I am using Mecury GPU accelerator.
I listed a lot of stuff and I appologize. I just think the quallity I am getting isn't there. With these setting and what I am doing, is this as good as the quality gets?
Help
Use a 1920 x 1080, 30i sequence for the editing, not 1440 x 1080.
Start with the MPEG2-DVD option and the NTSC DV Widescreen preset. Change the Quality to 100. Change the Field Order from Lower to Upper. Change the Min, Target and Max bitrates to 5, 7 and 9 respectively. If you have hardware acceleration turned on, export away. If you're running in Software Only mode, check the Maximum Render Quality box and then export.
Bring the resulting video and audio files into Encore for authoring.

Best quality compression for DVD
Trying to compress a 7 minute project from Final Cut for best quality on a DVD, type 5. Been using the pre-set "Best quality: 90mins", but wondering if there is a higher quality compression I can get for such a short project? Have most up to date versions of Final Cut, Compressor and DVD Studio Pro. Thanks!
You can duplicate any preset you want, then adjust it to suit your needs.

Help!! using premier pro 3.0 and HDR-HC3
I am a novice at using premier pro. I have a very nice website and made the mistake of taking some footage in HDV format using the sony HDR-HC5 handycam. In the future I will take the footage in a lower format. The problem is I need to put at least 30 seconds worth of the footage i took in hdv format onto my website. When I play the footage and/or record the footage I have on adobe premier pro it is in slow motion and very choppy. Can anyone tell me how to make this HDV footage play in regular time? I would really apprecaite your help.

After I purchased the creative cloud, I receive an error message when trying to use premier pro cc 2014. It states "Adobe Premiere Pro 2014.2 has stopped working. A problem has caused it to stop working. Windows will close the program and notify you of a solution." When I used the trial I never received this message. Now after purchasing it I receive this error each time I open PP and am unable to use. it. Any ideas or support to fix this issue?
What does the detailed crash report say?
And have you updated your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website? (most crashes on launch are due to bugs in out of date video card drivers) -
I know it is possible to convert an .avi file to dvd using quicktime pro, but I can’t remember what you convert it to?? I want to take a bunch of .avi files and put them on a dvd I can watch in my home player.
QuickTime Pro doesn't export to the MPEG-2 format so it doesn't make DVD's
Your profile says you're using a Mac.
Export your .avi to DV Stream (.dv) format (make sure you can play them with QT first).
Use iDVD to burn your DVD. It will convert your .dv file into the MPEG-2 format used on DVD's.
If you don't have a built in DVD burner you may be able to use a Firewire external. Check before you buy to be sure it is compatible with iDVD software. -
My video has no sound but i want to add the audio using premier pro
My video has no sound but i want to add the audio using premier pro.
when I want to import the file,it said:your video file has no audio.
But i want to add the sound to my video!!
Does anyone know how to solve this problem??So you have a video (.mov) that some how you got from Flash.
It has no sound on it.
Does the .mov import into Premiere?
If it does..you edit it in the timeline (sequence) and add audio to the audio track(s) before exporting it. -

got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
Thank you for your help, Frank!
To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts? Additionally, what does 'File' 'Finalize Project' do?
Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
Under the Video section click on Settings...
Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead. -

How do I around this problem?We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you.
What happens when you try? Do you get an error message? If so, exactly what does it say?
What version of Premiere Pro? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system?
Does this happen for all .mov files or just some? Has this ever worked before? What version of QuickTime do you have installed?

I am VERY disapointed with the quality of a finished DVD. As a proffesional weddig photographer the program quality is just not proffesional in quality. Compared to Pro Show Gold by Photodex which unfortunately is not available in MAC format. Can anyone offer advice and proove me wrong for deciding on MAC over PC !
I have chosen the best quality and burnt using Toast 11Hi Nigel.

Best quality export to DVD Studio Pro for HD
Sorry if this has been resolved before but I am totally confused.
I am using FCP with a Sony HVR-Z1E. I aim to make the highest quality clips on my dvds prefering to have many short high quality dvds than having fewer long low quality ones. I would be very grateful if someone would sujest the best setting for this or to create a new one.
Thanks for any help
Regards AlfCompressor has some presets for making high quality DVDs, I'd start with those. Take a short sample of your footage that you feel best represents the visual quality of the piece, and start testing different configurations. There is no one magical setting that is going to work for everyone. You'll also probably reach a point where you really can't tell the difference between one high bitrate and another higher bitrate. This can be a good indication that you've found the best quality option.
Using CBR encoding will give you the highest, consistent quality, but larger filesizes. Using VBR will maximise your quality to filesize ratio.
Do be aware that DVDs do have a bitrate limit of 9000 Kb/s. This includes both your audio and video. If you're audio and video bit rates add up to a sum greating than 9000 Kb/s, DVD SP will throw a weird error when you try to build your project. -
Can you burn an AVCHD DVD using Premiere Pro 4.1?
Alright I've been hunting the forums and net for a few hours on this one question.
I import my AVCHD video files using Sony Picture Motion Browser for the HDR SR-12 using the full HD setting (1920x1080i) I then pull these into Premiere 4.2.1 and have created an edit, my question is, it possible to output to an AVCHD DVD i.e. a standard DVD-R with the AVCHD edit on it from Premiere/Encore?
It's easy to burn clips straight to AVCHD DVD using Sony PMB, but not an edited file.
I realize there are no menus possible if you do it this way, but I have an AVCHD capable DVD deck and an HD Capable screen and would really like to see how this looks. Anybody know any tricks or workarounds for this? It seems that this would be sadly lacking if it was not possible or simply an effort to force one to adapt the entire workflow to Blu-Ray for HD content which I am not prepared to do.
I am assuming that if you could export the same file type that came in (i.e. AVCHD .mts files) that you could then have Sony PMB burn it to AVCHD DVD but I haven't figured out how to export it as such as there is only Blu-Ray output options.
Any help, tips or tricks would be appreciated!!!!
Regards,
DSWAnswering myself here for the benefit of anyone else trying to solve this problem.
I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve this problem for the last 48 hours of utilizing AVCHD footage at AVCHD quality. I finally did find somewhat of a work around, but it requires Adobe PP CS4.2.
There is a plug-in here:
http://www.mainconcept.com/site/prosumer-products-4/mpeg-pro-hd-7850/features-7861.html
Which will actually output your edit as an AVCHD file. You can then burn this straight to an AVCHD using Nero 9 and keep the highquality level of your clips and not need Blu-Ray. The DVD player will need to be AVCHD capable, but I just bought one of those for $40 as compared to the $200+ of most Blu-Ray players.
Or if you want to be really sneaky, you can transfer it back onto your camera and play it straight to your TV using the HDMI cable.
Hope that helps anyone stuck with the same problem.

How do you get the best quality on Apple Tv using Imovie08?
I have done some searching and still have some questions. I have been creating movies from my home movie DV (digital8) tapes. when I am done I export using the highest setting. I am thinking that most D8 cameras are 480i or P. When exported higher does the computer upscale this? Should I export in 640x480 and let the tv do the upscaling or does the DV have enough lines to do the higher setting. There is a lot of discussion about 06 but since I started with 08 I find it difficult to navigate and after several posts it seems that the quality is no different. I do have quicktime pro so if it is better to export from Imovie to quicktime then to apple tv into Itunes please advise.
Thanks
GEMy Question is on QTP what should the data rate be for DV.
It depends on which variant you are using. The DV Stream options for DV and DVCPRO (also known as DV25 and DVCPRO25) are typically between 28.5 and 29.0 Mbps for the video track and the same for the audio track while DVCPRO50 has twice that data rate for both audio and video tracks. The QT DV and DVCPRO video codecs used by the "Movie to QT Movie" option are typically about 23 Mbps with DVCPRO50 coming in at about 46.0 Mbps. As to the audio data rate component, it all depends on which audio codec you use. Most people probably opt for the Linear PCM 16-bit 48 KHz combination which is usually on the order of about 800 Kbps.
Original Data rates for some full QT conversions are over 20k This is as you know not supported by ATV.
Correct. And, since iMovie '08 converts from whatever compression format that was originally imported to the application, doesn't it make more sense to export DIRECTLY to the final compression format you plan to use with your TV device? You can export directly/indirectly to iTunes (i.e., via the "Movies > Sharing" folder) using the sharing option or you can export via the "Using QT" option to either the contextual (CAVLC) Progressive Main Profile preset or using your own custom settings.
If one of you would be so kind as to list the largest file that can be played in ATV using quicktime in the form of input that would be great.
The maximum H.264 display dimensions at 24/25 fps is 720p (1280x720) and at 30 fps 540p (960x540) and a max video data rate of 5 Mbps with AAC-LC audio limited to 160 Kbps and a 48.0 KHz sampling rate in M4v, MP4, or MOV file containers. The maximum MPEG-4 Simple Profile dimensions of 720x432 at 30 fps at a max data rate of 3 Mbps with AAC-LC audio limited to 160 Kbps and a 48.0 KHz sampling rate.
Since I am still uneducated about the relations to all these numbers and see different sizes that play ok in ATV I need some advice. I have even exported from quicktime and let Itunes compress to ATV. The file was bigger than what was sent from Imovie, the data rate was more, but per second was the same.
Pre-sets and user settings "target" a data rate but content variables such as lighting, contrast, color saturated, amount of action and its motion vectors, frequency of scene changes/key framing, etc. all affect an end product. Further, when dealing with multi-pass encoding, the data rate excursion (i.e., variation above and below the targeted video data rate) may also come into play. For instance, an iPod file target with a video data rate of 1500 Kbps in extreme cases may have an instantaneous data rate between 600 Kbps and 3750 Kbps using the "Download" setting and can prevent iTunes synchronization. Haven't looked that deeply into TV since I use a custom iPod setting for day-to-day use of a a single file for iPhone, iPod, TV, as well as, web site, server, peer-to-peer, QTL, and reference file sharing of media. (I.e., I use my original DVDs when I want "full" audio and video quality.) -
