Best settings for export to dvd

I am exporting to dvd from ppro cs5. I am on windows 7, 64 bit, 6gb ram, intel I7 core. My export - match source, highest qualtiy, looked a little glitchy in some areas and the text did not look very clear on my titles. I think that all titles are appropriate size fonts. I am using hdv footage and my timeline is set up to match the original footage. I did have a lot of excess files on my hard drive which are now deleted. I defragged about 4 times and am now trying again. I am testing two settings - the first, export to dvd, highest quality, the second, I customized to the same mpeg2-dvd, 2 pass vbr, min 2.80, target 5, max 8. Does anyone have suggestions as to how to export the "best" quality image possible to play on a computer or on a dvd?
Thanks,
Lisa

Don't use Match Sequence Setting in the export because it uses the wrong settings.
Use a mpeg2-dvd preset and tweek the settings a bit.
Make sure the fields are set to upper as the source is HDV.
Check the Use Max Render Quality.
See how that works out.

Best Settings for Exporting DVD Footage in a Movie File

Hello,
I've been trying to find the best settings for exporting DVD footage into a movie file from Adobe Premiere CS6.
I recently have been using my Magnavox DVD recorder for recording VHS tapes that I made long ago for shows and various other things, and no matter what, my footage doesn't come out as it needs to be.
Here's an example of what I did recently with my own settings:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFV4sT7rHGs
I'm not expecting HD footage, I know these are tapes, but I'm playing the raw footage on my Xbox 360, and it looks better than this. I had to directly use the VOB files on the DVD for this, as trying to rip the files into an AVI or any other format with a DVD ripper didn't do anything, in fact it degraded the quality and made the audio not play in Premiere.
So what would be some good settings for exporting a sequence with DVD footage that is from a VHS into a movie file, preferably one that wouldn't degrade the quality?
Thanks!

First, read Why not edit mpeg http://tangentsoft.net/video/mpeg/edit.html to get a general idea of why a VOB makes a very poor source file (which is a renamed MPG, with some other stuff like menu screens)
Also, Read Bill Hunt on editing a VOB/MPG file http://forums.adobe.com/thread/464549
Once you have a DVD compliant VOB on your timeline, and understanding that a standalone DVD recorder sometimes plays fast-n-loose with "compliance" per the DVD specification, about all you can do is export to standard or widescreen DV AVI and accept the fact that re-encoding an already compressed file is just not going to give great results

Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro

I need help figureing out Whats the best settings for exporting a three camera youtube video on a mac book pro. I use 15 or 30 fps and aI cant figurwe it out [please help

chucknoris501
What version of Premiere Elements are you using on Mac?
Export your Timeline content to a .mp4 file, using export settings which have been customized under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the export's preset.
See Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD and .mp4 category. The exported file is then uploaded to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
If you post the properties of your source video and project settings, I will suggest the settings for the Timeline content export to file saved to the computer
hard drive for upload to YouTube at the YouTube web site.

best quality then use high bitrate, small size use low bitrate.

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

Best settings for exporting from AE

Hi,
I am wondering what the best settings to export to from AE for editing in Premiere CS5.5. Previously I would digitize from tape and would export lossless .avi from AE but now I am using XDCAM EX 1080 50i sequence presets on Premiere and I wonder if I should amend the settings from AE or just keep them as lossless?
As always thanks in advance!

Keep it lossless.

4K footage to DVD: what are the best settings for exporting in Premiere Pro CC v7.2.2?

Hello everyone!
I am editing a big bunch of short 4K clips (XAVC in MP4) which will then go onto DVDs. The idea is to get as many of those clips on a DVD as possible. Using Premiere Pro 7.2.2 on Windows 8.
What I would like to know is whether I'm actually using the best possible settings for this case, because the video exported to MPEG2-DVD doesn't look that good. Or maybe it needs to be exported to a different format and rather converted to DVD format after?
The sequence setting are the following:
RED Cinema
Frame rate: 29,97 fps
3840x2160 (16:9)
Square pixels
The export settings I've been using:
MPEG2-DVD
Aspect ratio: 16:9
TV Format: PAL
Field order: progressive
Frame rate: 25
Video quality: 100
Bitrate: VBR
1, I've tried different bitrates, also setting minimum at 9, but this blows up the file size too much (as i mentioned, the idea is to get at many clips as possible on a DVD)
GOP: M - 3, N - 15 (haven't touched those)
Multiplexer: none (should i put DVD?)
I'm using maximum render quality
Have I given all the information?
Any help will be appreciated!@

As Ann has advised do not expect too much, you are going down a lot in quality.
Why are you also going from NTSC to a PAL output?
Premiere will drop frames to get from 29.97 to 25.
PAL DVD players read NTSC discs fine as long as they are region 0
Why are you trying to produce a DVD anyway?
A Bluray would be far better quality.
Also a minimum 9 is way wrong, c9.6 is the max in the spec and hence avoided as your system is trying to push the spec limits to close.
I used to use 6 - 7.5 - 8.8 in my VBR and they looked fine, now I am all HD.

Best settings for exporting to play in Windows Media Player on Powerpoint

I'm trying to export from FCP X by sending clips to Compressor 4.04 however the online lessons on lynda.com - my go-to source - and in Compressor manuals don't appear up-to-date with the actual latest revisions and I'm confused about whether to use QuickTime Export Components to get video that will play instantly in Windows Powerpoint either if its running on a Sony PC or being projected on a big screen (not HD).
Also lynda.com says 10,000 bit rate is best but the version used in the lesson limited one to 10,000 while the update goes past 30K. Which setting will work best for my purpose?
Some help on these settings for this novice Compressor user sure would help me make my deadline. My deliverable to a client is a collection of clips that play in the Windows Media Player. thanks
Compressor

Are you referring to a Lynda.com Compressor tutorial or one of their many PPT tutorials.
I agree that 10 Mbs is a nice general quality level – depending on your footage, of course – the content, the lighting, etc. WMV is probably the safest – although MP4 should be good as well,
Hard to be more specific except to say, Test. A preset that works well for one movie may look not-so-great applied to another.
Take a short, representative section and encode. Project the output file and see what you think.
Good luck.

Best settings for exporting crisp video/graphic from iMovie to YouTube?

Hi, I am working on a video for a client and after viewing on YouTube they had some issues with the type not looking "crisp," and I'm not sure how to fix it, not sure if it's a YouTube thing or something I am doing wrong.
I am working in iMovie 6/HD on OS 10.4.11. I do my "type slides" in Photoshop and import them into the iMovie as photos (JPGs). I know some text/titles can be done in iMovie but there is very little control I have over what goes where, so by making my type slides in Photoshop I have more creative control to do what I want. I have done tests and it doesn't seem to matter what resolution the Photoshop files are when they're imported, the results are always the same.
If anyone has a better suggestion for doing the type slides I'd gladly welcome them, but I think what I really need to know is the following:
What are the best expert settings to export my iMovie file as, so that when I upload to YouTube, the quality stays fairly crisp? Or does YouTube's compression just negate anything I can do on my end?
I have googled and found settings recs on other sites and other boards and tried a bunch of them and my results aren't any better than my original effort.
From another post on this board I discovered I could play with the Filters setting when exporting, and I have set that to Sharpen and also used the Brightness filter to lighten the video (it was a little dark). I uploaded to YouTube and I think it is a little better, but would still love the info if anyone has a guaranteed rec for correct settings for YouTube video from iMovie HD/6.

Hello Brian,
Have you tried de-interlacing before exporting?
Sometimes, when I'm in a rush, I would expand the Canvas/Viewer (viewed at 100%), pick the clearest frame, and do a screen capture.
For example, with the captured image (in Photoshop), I have a marquee preset at 640x480 (NTSC). I created an action to crop, resize to 720x480, then set the Pixel Aspect Ratio to NTSC.

How to get the best quailty for export to DVD

I am using Final Cut Pro Studio. I'm editing SD 16:9 anamorphic. What suggestions does anyone have for exporting (settings, rendering, to what (idvd, dvd studio pro) to DVD to be played on a computer or TV?
Thanks

Duplicate the preset - actually, the folder for the preset. Each DVD preset folder contains an MPEG-2 video and a Dolby Digital audio preset. By duplicating the folder, you will duplicate the presets inside that folder. The duplicated preset will be placed in the CUSTOM Preset section (below the Apple section). Open the duplicated preset and tweak settings for the Dolby Digital encoder as I described above. Tweak the MPEG-2 encoder preset as needed for each individual project.
You can save any modifications you made to the duplicate presets once you've finished tweaking them. That will make it easy to use them again in the future.
As for the Taiyo Yuden / JVC thing, I always used Taiyo Yuden in the past, but about two years ago or so, all of my normal suppliers only had them available in JVC packaging. Same discs, different marketing name. Beware though, Taiyo Yuden/JVC also markets a "value" line of blanks that (and I quote) "Haven't met quality checks." So only purchase blanks from their "premium" line.

Best Settings for Exporting for BluRay on Regular DVD's?

Hi,
When I export my project with H.264-BluRay or Mpeg2-BluRay settings, and then record it onto a regular DVD but in BluRay format - it seems as if bitrate is too high or something since PS3 is having issues playing the video without jumps.
Any thoughts?

Petar Smilajkov,
IIRC, there were some discussions on how to get BR material onto a DVD-5/DVD-9 over in the Adobe Encore forum. I believe that some folk were doing what you want to do successfully. Might want to pop over there and do some searching. I'd start in the Blu-Ray sub-forum, but don't completely limit yourself to it, as these threads might be in the main forum, or another of the subs, like DVD Burning.
Good luck,
Hunt

Best settings for exporting and dropping a MOV file into iDVD7?

I have a movie (originally shot in HD), made in iMovieHD6, and that I'd like to export and drop into iDVD7. *What settings would the brain trust recommend?* I cannot seem to get iDVD to render a good version through direct export from iMovie. (As a side, I wonder if it is because I started this process by bringing AVCHD files from my camera into iMovie8 and "going backwards" to iMovieHD6.)

I have used Pro-res from Final Cut Pro into iDVD and it works.
*This is from iDVD help menu:*
Video and image formats that work with iDVD
You can use these movie and graphic formats in iDVD:
◼
Most video or image files supported by QuickTime (see the list of unsupported QuickTime formats below)
◼
16:9 widescreen formats
◼
AAC, MP3, and AIFF audio files
◼
Any format from iMovie: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD
High definition video is converted to work with the format of your project. iDVD supports using 16:9 widescreen video; therefore, when your DVD plays on a DVD player that supports widescreen format, the footage appears in its original aspect ratio.
The following video and image formats are not supported in iDVD:
◼
Copyrighted or protected videos.
◼
Movies saved in thousands of colors using the “none” compression setting in iMovie.
◼
48-bit color images (16 bits per color). To use source files in one of these formats in iDVD, save them in a supported format.
◼
Aurora uncompressed files. For best results, export Aurora clips as DV-format video before importing them into iDVD.
◼
QuickTime VR, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, Flash, streaming or encrypted movies, or QuickTime spanned movies. You can’t add MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files to an iDVD project because they don’t contain standard video tracks.
◼
QuickTime Fast Start movies. (Fast Start movies are intended for Internet playback.) When saving a QuickTime movie for use with iDVD, click the Options button in the QuickTime Export dialog and make sure that the “Prepare for Internet Streaming” checkbox is not selected.

Best Settings for a SD DVD with HD Video

So quick question and I just wanted to see if anyone has found a great solution for this.
We have HD Video (1440 x 1080) interlaced. (Looks amazing in Final Cut Pro. Did the roundtrip from color back to Final Cut Pro. Exported to a quicktime mov file using the same settings from the time timeline. (Still looks great) compressed it using compressor using the DVD Best Quality 90 minutes default settings. (File still looks great after its done) Burn it using DVD Studio Pro. Play it back on several TV's including a HD DVD and it looks awful. Although the footage is now in SD, i feel like it shouldn't look this bad.
Any suggestions?

This may help...

Usually just setting Field Dom to None in FCP (duplicate your sequence) helps immensely.

Best settings for export to iphone?

Hello, I wonder if anyone has found the best way of doing this, I couldn't find any recommendations on the apple site.
I'm editing HDV PAL, should I resize in FCP before export or let compressor do all the resizing?
Should I deinterlace?
Square pixels?
I tried exporting a 16:9 vid at 640x360 and it automatically cropped it when played on an iphone until I double-tapped the screen. Is there anyway to avoid this
Thanks for any help.

Using the iphone export settings in compressor, I can't get a minute of footage to be less than 8 megs. The QVGA setting is bad quality, the VGA setting is a large file, even after dropping the bitrate down. If i export the same file as an H.264 through compressor the file size is tiny. What is the iphone preset adding that makes it so massive?

Best settings for export from FCE to Web

I'm trying to get a 20-minute project (audio and video) exported from FCE to iWeb in reasonably high quality. I've consulted the manual, and have tried various compression settings and consulted some online tutorials, to no avail - more often than not, if it "publishes" to iWeb, the resulting file looks like it will take the better part of forever to buffer. Any recommendations?

Well, not sure about what you mean “in reasonably high quality”...?
What export-settings did you use...? size and codec...?
A twenty minutes project for the web in reasonably quality...?
Did you start with your project in FCE with the best and highest uncompressed resolution ?
Did you export (compress) from this resolution once to your desired web format ?
Doing file compression properly, I guess, one needs years of experience...
There are far to many variables one has to consider...
t’s rather an art-form than exact science...
Anyway...
If you like, here are one of my settings:
Compression H.264 / Frame Rate Current / Key Frame Automatic / Quality Medium /
Data Rate Automatic (higher rate - higher file size) / Encoding Best Quality /
Size 480 x 270 (16:9) / Sound AAC Stereo 44.1 kHz (Mono and lower Rate reduces size).

Nolan
