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.

  • FCP: What is the best quality sequence setting for HD Video with JPEGs?

    Hello,
    If I am editing digital still images that are 3696x2464, in order to make them into a HD video in FCP what is the best sequence setting?
    There are so many HDV settings and I still don't understand the aspect ratio options...
    please advise!

    Hello,
    where do I choose the ProResLT in the setting window? and What should be the Frame Size and Pixel Aspect Ratio? I am trying different options and having a hard time finding a setting that doesn't distort or pixel the image. Please help!
    Additionally, would this setting maintain the quality even when the movie is exported and burnt onto a DVD?
    many thanks.

    What is the Highest Quality Recording Setting for Canon Vixia HF R500?
    Is it AVCHD 60P 28 Mbps or MP4 60P 35 Mbps?
    Does the higher bit rate of the MP4 format mean that it is a higher quality recording or not?

    Hi Greg_Jay!
    Thank you for posting.
    The highest quality is MP4 60P 35 Mbps.  Generally speaking, the higher the bit rate, the better the quality.

    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.

  • NEED THE BEST QUALITY QUICKTIME MOVIE FOR DVD!  THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE.

    I just finished a three minute piece that will be shown on DVD and projected to a sixteen foot screen. I usually just output a self-contained quicktime movie with current settings and then compress with bitvice. While I'm happy with those results, because of the size of this screening, I'm curious whether there might be better options for output to quicktime, such as uncompressed, etc?
    I've also heard that I could output as a Jpeg, or a PNG file, but I'd love some advice on what works best and the workflow, as I need to get this done fast and can't really afford the time to experiment.
    Any advice would be HUGELY appreciated. THANKS1

    I usually just output a self-contained quicktime movie with current settings and then compress with bitvice.
    That will provide the best quality ... the quality won't improve over what you had in FCP. Depending on your source media type(s), you may have had a better quality export IF you had edited and rendered with another setting.

  • What is the best export setting for burning a dvd?

    I am trying to export my senior thesis to a DVD, I've never burnt a DVD before and am using Adobe Premiere cs6. 
    I used a Canon7D 24fps to film and want the best quality of video and audio possible. 
    ALSO, after I've exported it, are there any other steps I need to take before burning it to a DVD?
    Please help!

    The best quality will be using an x264 encoder in CQ mode to create a Blu-ray.
    Next best is exporting using an H.264 Blu-ray preset for creating a Blu-ray.
    After that, exporting a lossless file for MPEG 2 conversion using the free HC Encoder using CQ mode, which will end up on a DVD.
    Last in the quality lineup, export using an MPEG2-DVD preset, changing the Min, Target and Max bitrates to 5, 7 and 9 respectively.
    Avoid Dynamic Link.

  • Best Quality too big for DVD. need help

    Hi,
    I just completed a movie using iMovie. I compressed the movie as a Quicktime file at best quality and it is 6gb. I understand that this is too big for the 4.7gb dvd-r's i have.
    I wanted to know the best way to get my movie to fit while still mainting the best possible quality. This project is very important and i need it to be able to play on a home dvd player tomorrow.
    I'm using iDVD.
    Can somebody please help me out.
    Thank you so much

    Hi Karl,
    first of all: on this forum, my guess is, you are the one with the deepest insight in iMovie (one word: corrupted projects... oops, that was two).
    BUT...
    My job for more then 20 years is communication, advertisement as an example. make the message in less then 8 words...
    Apples says: 60/120 minutes of an iM project fit on a dvd-r.Full stop.
    that is from my p.o.v crystal-clear..HOW is this done? easy: make project, click "iDVD" - BOOM! done... to quote the CEO of a small computer company...
    people buy cars without ANY idea, what ABS, EPS, etc is, besides HOW it works. they use it. full stop. anyone any idea, what happens, when you push the pedal...? ... when the car DOESN'T accelerate, you realize, you have NO clue...-
    funny enough, this forum is CROWDED with people, who don't own a driver's license, but try to explain, the car manufacturer has done big bugs, lots of mistakes, should fix that & this.- you CAN use a car, to boil eggs, iron your shirts and create a painting... but THAT would need a better understanding of how a car works.
    topics which are/can not understood lead to what the behaviorism calls "superstitious behavior" - you do some really weird things, because you believe it has any effect....
    so, sometimes, less knowledge leeds to better results
    (from a communicator's point of view)
    I agree, maybe the "help" files should offer an "expert" mode....

  • 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!

  • DVD Compressor setting for use in DVD Studio Pro

    I'm trying to create a playable dvd that has using dvd studio pro. However I want to compress the .mov file using compressor first. I've tried several setting, ut I get the same blurry text and graphic results.
    What's the best setting for a hi quality dvd, the same quality has professional dvds.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    The best one you'll get with Compressor is DVD Best Quality 90 mins. Tweak it any higher than that and you run the risk of drives refusing to play the disc.
    You can't make it look like a professional DVD because the pros don't use DVD Studio Pro. They use significantly more expensive software and encoding hardware, and the discs are replicated, not burned.

  • Best Quality import when editing with a DVD master?

    I have been on a project, that is nearing online, that has a large amount of footage that I have had to import off of DVD. I have been using Streamclip's "Apple Motion Jpeg A" setting at 100% when I have converted files to QT. Anybody know the best way to get this material off DVD and into QT at the best quality? The footage is so bad, that it may not make a difference, but I thought I would try. Anybody use any treatment tricks when working with old, home movie type footage, to "spruce it up" and help it not stand out so much?
    Thanks for your input.

    The question would be; is the footage bad only because it is from heavily compressed DVD-Video? Or is it bad because it's old home movie footage? Or a combination of the two.
    Since it is old home video footage, I'd suspect a fairly low quality camcorder was used. If that's the case, I'd convert the footage to the Apple DV/DVCPro codec using MPEG Streamclip. Or simply capture the footage through a DV device while playing the disc in a DVD player.
    Once it's on your system, try using the 3-Way Color Corrector filter to enhance the contrast and control the chroma levels.

  • 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.

  • Best quality audio option for Ipod classic

    Hello to everyone, I got a 160 Ipod classic as a present and I dont have previous experience. I am choosing the best way to import the CD collection and came to this 3 choices, after doing some research in the web
    -AAC at 320. I have a trained ear and think I can tell the difference with 256, the difference in storage is not that big
    -AIFF. I not really counting on this becasuse the files are big and I guess I colud onlu get around 400 CDs on 150 GB
    -Apple lossless. I have read the quality is similar to Aiff and they dont take a lot of space.
    What do you guys think is the best option for this 160 gb model? quality is important for me. I think the choice is AAC at 320 or Apple lossless, But Apple lossless is still almost double size files than the 320 AAc, so I dont know
    Thanks a lot and best regards

    There is no definite answer for this, your hearing is unique to you.
    The best thing to do is choose a few songs and put them on your iPod in all the different formats you are considering. Then listen to the same song in the different formats and see whether if like the lower bit rate version or if you must have the higher bit rate version.
    Personally, I use (good quality) Bose on-ear headphones, a Bose speaker dock and a Klipsch speaker dock. Most of my songs are in 192kbps AAC, some are 256kbps and I don't hear the difference. But then, my age means that my hearing is no longer as acute as it was.
    Since you have a 160GB iPod, if you have the room (that is, not too many songs), use the higher bit rate. I began using the higher bit rate when I realised I had the room.

  • Best video Hardware/software for converting VHS DVD and others on Mac?

    Hello,
    I am having problems finding some much needed details on what the best software/hardware is for converting video formats on a Mac. I should note I am using a NEW iMac 4GB memory and Leopard OS so what I use needs to be compatible. Perhaps next year I will get a Mac Pro, but for now I'm using this setup. Here's is what I need to do:
    1. Transfer old VHS tapes (home movies and such) to DVD. I need to be able to use DL DVD discs for my recordings so I don't have to switch DVDs. In other words make them just like the DVDs you play that you buy. Therefore, they also must be able to playback in home theater DVD players, not just on the computer. I would assume the best way as for encoding is to get the VHS tape in digital format on the hard drive, then use the codecs to turn them into DVDs?
    2. Once on the hard drive I also need to convert them to a format neutral playback on both the Mac and PC. What is the best, MPEG 4?
    3. The ability to do some nice editing of making bookmarks, chapters and thumbnails for the DVD menu and divisions I wish to make. In other words, if I have a home movie containing my Summer and Winter vacation, I want to insert bookmarks at points to skip to like in a movie DVD and also have a thumbnail of it just like DVD movies does.
    4. A nice MAIN menu for the DVD that will let me hit the main categories, not just chapters for the TOP level DVD menu. Such as Summer Vacation, Winter vacation.
    5. The software should be easy to use so I don't have to take a HUGE crash course requiring lots of work making the project a chore. Also, I don't want or need a professional package, just something simple that is less than $200 per software program. Not the expensive $500+ software options for movie makers.
    Thank you for any tips and advice on this matter.

    "Best software/hardware" depends on your exact needs & wants.
    One simple way to transfer your VHS tapes to DVD is with a *DVD Recorder*. Many of these come with VHS and DVD decks already built in. Insert your VHS tape, a blank DVD, hit record and off it goes. When finished, you have a playable DVD.
    To transfer your VHS tapes to DV for editing you will need a converter. The *Canopus ADVC-110* is a very nice, relatively inexpensive device that will do that job for you. (It's also possible to use most modern DV camcorders as converters, too.) You would connect your VHS deck to the Canopus box via their analog video & audio connections, then connect the Canopus box via FW to your Mac, and then when you play the VHS tape you would capture the video in iMovie or FCE.
    Once your videos are captured on your Mac, you could use iMovie or *Final Cut Express* to do whatever editing you might want to do. Regardless of which one you edit with, however, it's iDVD that you would use to create your DVD menus and burn your DVDs.
    So, overall, the workflow would be like this: *VHS Deck > Converter (camcorder or converter box) > Capture on Mac (iMovie or FCE) > Editing application (iMovie or FCE) > iDVD > DVD*
    For playback on computers MPEG4 would be an ok choice, H.264 is probably a better choice, and then there's the matter of whether or not you want to export as a QuickTime movie and/or AVI.
    iLife came with your Mac, so you already have iMovie and iDVD. How about giving them a try before you consider investing in a significantly more sophisticated application like Final Cut Express. (just my opinion)
