DV 24p to DVD - Best compression and workflow

Hello,
I shot my thesis film on the Panasonic DVX-100a a few years back. Ran out of money and never finished. Luckily, I have the resources to now wrap it up and have some questions about the final export to DVD workflow.
We re-digitized the film from the original tapes and rebuilt it in FCP. Cut it, had it mixed, and now ready to output it.
What I've done thus far:
1. Exported Quicktime movie from timeline (using project settings - DV)
2. Opened that up with compressor, compressed to 90 min best quality
3. Screened on plasma (looked like ***) and LCD computer monitor (looked ok)
What I'd like to know:
1. Is there a preferred workflow/setting to go out of FCP and onto DVD that will yield better results than what the steps I described above?
What I was considering doing:
1. Exporting an uncompressed or animation version from the timeline.
2. Opening that in Compressor, bumping up the bit rate to 6, using CBR.
3. Making beta dub to screen for interested parties.
Original Footage:
1. We shot Panasonic DVX-100a 24p. Super happy with the look of the film until I saw it on the plasma. I love that rough look but not when it looks like an accident.
So, any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this and potentially help my little movie.
Best,
Wolf

Not really; DVDs just aren't good enough for huge, progressive plasma TVs. You can certainly do a lot by keeping the bitrate high enough (but not high enough to cause problems), using a tripod, good lighting, good camera, and best settings. But it still is an interlaced, standard definition source. And of course, don't transcode to a different format when you don't have to; go from your source format to mpeg2.

  • Closed captioning issues DVD studio Pro and workflow

    So I have been trying to attach a .scc file to a dvd for the optioin of closed captioning. (for 2 dyas now)  I did figure out a workflow to make it happen but all the suggested workflows online and in the book did not work for me and I have no idea why.
    I have a HD sequence 1440x1080.  It has some old SD video in it as well. 
    The only way I was able to get a DVD with closed captioning was this workflow:
    Go to HD sequence and select all in timeline so it is highlighted.  Command (apple) C so it is copied.
    Go to File> New Sequence.
    Control click on new sequence and go to settings.
    under general tab make sure that it is set to  720x480 with NTSC (3:2) chosen from the drop down menu
    Pixel aspect is set to NTSC CCIR 601/DV and that anamorphic IS checked
    dominance : lower (even)
    frame rate 29:97
    QT vid settings DV/DVCPRO-NTSC
    audio 48 khz 16-bit channel grouped.
    click OK
    Then open SD sequence and command (apple) V to paste. 
    At this point I noticed that the SD video on the new SD timeline was expanded or blown up.  I had to control click each SD shot in the timeline (or do one at a time) and control click> remove attributes.  It gave me a few options to click and when those in dark font are clicked it will set your SD shots back to normal.
    I tried Hightlighting the entire SD seauence and changing the attributes, but it effected the HD video also so it was easier to just adjust the SD shots in the SD timeline/sequence.
    Now that everything was normal in my SD sequence, I exported out a QT video.
    I opened up DVD Studio Pro and put my QT file in it.  Went to DVD Studio Pro preferences in the top left corner and made sure that MPEG-2 SD tab was open
    clicked 4:3 aspect ratio
    Start was 00:00:00  etc.
    and for me drop frame was clicked. (my video was shot drop framed)
    click OK
    Click Graphical view (or in outline view it would be tracks and video name) Click on Green "TV" looking  item (for me I wanted the first play on it)
    Then look in your inspector for the tab called "other"
    Click on "other" tab and then where it says file.... click on choose.  Navigate to where your .scc file is and hit ok
    Burn your DVD and test it in QT and on a DVD player/TV to make sure the CC optioin turns off and on.
    That is how I got it to work, but it was changed to a DV format and has some pixelation. 
    I read where many folks run their exported QT file from FCP in HD and open it in compressor and change it's size there and make a mpeg 2..Some send the video to compressor from the timeline to make a mpeg 2... some add the .scc file in compressor.... some run their SD file through compressor and change to mpeg 2.  Personally I had NO LUCK in doing anything in compressor (after running 2 days of tests) converting to a mpeg 2 in the DVD folder settings,... in using any of the program and elementary streams under the formats folder.  NOTHING worked with any type of mpeg 2  AS well as adding the .scc file to the video in either compressor or in DVD studio Pro.
    WHY?  Why did none of that compressor workflow work?  Why didn't adding the .scc file work in DVD studio pro?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    You have two problems.
    Converting your video to SD
    Getting the .scc file to play nice
    1st problem
    I would export your HD sequence(self contained not QT conversion).
    Many recommend and have had much success using Compressor to do the down convert(frame controls all set to best).
    I prefer using FC to do the down convert. I find it more consistent. This adds a step but still prefer it. I re-import the HD file I just exported into my project and then create an appropriate SD sequuence.  Since your HD sequence displays 16x9 you will want to create a SD anamorphic sequence (I do 720x486 but you can do 480 too). Add the HD file to the new SD seq and then render. Export an SD file and then convert for DVD.
    2nd problem
    I have not had success adding the .scc file in Compressor. It should work but OE and/or other factors have never allowed me to get this to work properly.
    The .scc file is presumably made from your sequence time code or possibly the QT export TC depending on how you sent it out and what you got back. The .scc should be based on the sequence TC. By default tracks in DSP are set to zero based TC which will not reference the TC associated with the original sequence TC which was used to make your .scc file. You can change this by right-clicking(control-click) on the time area in the track and you should see an option for asset-based timecode. Once you have changed this try importing the scc file.

  • Compression and Workflow

    In an effort to improve the quality of my DVD I surfed through 40+ pages of discussions and collected information on items to consider. After this effort, I have four questions:
    1. Should audio used in menus be converted to AC3? Will AIFF files significantly impact on a project if used in menus?
    2. I read that a 100 minute project could probably use Compressor's 90 Preset if the audio was AC3. Is there anyway to identify under what assumptions Compressor is using in defining its presets? i.e. what size Audio file, space for other assets such as motion menus, etc.
    3. I have seen the calculator (http://dvd-hq.info/calculator.html) for Calculating Bitrate. Is there any guide available to estimate the size-cost of other assets used in DVDSP (motion menus, transitions, etc). I now understand that the target size is 4.37 GB not 4.7 GB--is this correct?
    4. In Discussion Forums I've identified three different workflows:
    - Export from Final Cut directly to Compressor and then import into DVDSP.
    - Export from Final Cut to Quicktime and import the Quicktime file into DVSP.
    - Export from Final Cut to Quicktime, compress the file in Compressor and then import the file to DVDSP.
    I have also seen competing recommendations on using One Pass versus Two Pass and Fixed Bitrate versus variable bitrate.
    Is deciding on these variables dependent on the size and complexity of the video project? If so, is there a guide on how to assess which is the best approach?

    1. Should audio used in menus be converted to AC3? Will AIFF files significantly impact on a project if used in menus?
    All audio should be AC3, and motion menus can have issues with AIF. Also AIFs in menus do hit you up on size
    2. I read that a 100 minute project could probably use Compressor's 90 Preset if the audio was AC3. Is there anyway to identify under what assumptions Compressor is using in defining its presets? i.e. what size Audio file, space for other assets such as motion menus, etc.
    The best 90 minutes says this
    }48kHz, 16-bit AIFF stereo audio
    2.0 Dolby Digital audio at 192kbps
    Fits up to 90 minutes of video with Dolby Digital audio at 192 Kbps or 60 minutes with AIFF audio on a DVD-5
    It is also using 6.2 - 7.7, you do not want to use that high a rate at the highend. According to calculators and average of 5.9 with 192 AC3 should fit 100 Minutes on a DVD-5. I would probably drop it down to 5.75 (if I was doing it) For the most part the difference between 5.75 and 5.9 will not affect what you see too much, but will save you time down the road if you realize things are too big for the disc.
    3. I have seen the calculator (http://dvd-hq.info/calculator.html) for Calculating Bitrate. Is there any guide available to estimate the size-cost of other assets used in DVDSP (motion menus, transitions, etc). I now understand that the target size is 4.37 GB not 4.7 GB--is this correct?
    Motion menus should not take up alot of space if they are short, nor should transitions. Alot depends on how many you have. In general it is not the best idea to cram the disc to the brim, especially for DVDs from computers, becuase it can cause playback issues.
    Take a look here for some thoughts on size and also on calculations in general, VBR/CBR the full 4.37/4.7 size

    Third one, export uncompressed (8 Bit or better from FCP)
    s deciding on these variables dependent on the size and complexity of the video project? If so, is there a guide on how to assess which is the best approach?
    Some will depend on the video itself, you can get some really nice results with lower rates if there is not alot of high motion. In general 2-Pass VBR is the way to go, though for some things 1 Pass CBR works well (at least for me) on some text type things.
    Use the calulcator then drop the rate slightly, do not go over 7.4 (less if posssible) as high end, and make AC3s.
    Alot will depend on the project, the source footage and if you are trying to squeeze every bit out of it and where it is going as a final project.

  • Premiere Timelines - Best Practice and Workflows

    Hello all, I am wondering if you can offer some advice.
    I have been a Final Cut Pro 7 user my whole life - and more recently FCP X. We are currently looking into the possibility of switching some of our programs over to Premiere because it seems to have a mix of features somewhere between 7 and X. However, I am finding it a little hard to come to terms with the way Premiere handles codecs, timelines, transcode workflows, etc.
    For example... In FCP 7 you would usually create a timeline that uses ProRes422, convert what you need (either log & ingest or batch conforming) and then edit with the ProRes footage and then export directly to ProRes for broadcast or Compressor for previews.
    The upside being that all your rendered frames on the timeline are stored and ready for when you need to export.
    With Premiere... It seems to 'not mind' when footage comes in Natively (C300, XDCAM MXFs, etc.)... Great! Except, using the workflow mentioned earlier leaves you with:
    - A ProRes Timeline
    - A tonne of unconformed media
    - A rendered timeline that seems to have no bearing on the final export speed.
    I'm flummoxed! Even when I've checked 'use preview files' (from a rendered timeline), I seem to have large waits on my hands. It's not hardware, we're fully tooled with new iMacs and even MacPros - I've tried all the different settings for CUDA, Mercury, Software Only, etc. etc.
    So for an FCP user, can anyone recommend improvements to this workflow? What am I doing wrong? Premiere seems like a very good, solid & stable editor now (where previously it wasn't) but the export and render times are not leaving me impressed, especially when FCP X seems to leave it in the dust!
    Any and all advice welcome - thanks very much!

    The first important step is to forget about 'log & ingest' or 'batch conforming'. PR edits natively, thus saving you the time consuming conversion step before you can start editing.
    Because PR edits natively, you don't end up with a ProRes timeline, but only with native material.
    Conforming audio is still needed. Nothing can be done about that.
    Rendering a timeline has no bearing at all on exporting. Rendering is only necessary in limited cases for preview purposes.
    It is better not to check 'use preview files' when exporting, because it can lead to quality loss.
    In general, copy your source material to a local hard drive, import with the Media Browser, create sequence from clip (so your sequence settings match your source material) and edit away. For preview purposes you may want to render the timeline occasionally. When done, you export to the destination format without using 'use preview files' or 'match sequence settings'.
    If you find render times too long to your liking, you may need to increase your CPU power (more cores, higher clock-speed) and get more memory.

  • REVISITED  "DVD: best quality" & "MPEG-2 high quality encode"-difference??

    Re-explain: I see "DVD best quality" and "MPEG-2 high quality encode" have all the same settngs. Not sure if there was a difference. Yesterday I was convinced no difference. After recompressing the same video at same settings MPEG-2 HQ encoding took three times longer to compress. going to work with it--this was home work--to view on monitor that, after reviewing, made me come home to recompress.
    So--again--is there a difference fo the two choices???

    which is what I did and there is no difference in seetings or what I have to choose for seetings. So, I guess--or confirmed--there is no difference???

  • Teaser and movie on 1 dvd - best workflow ?

    I've created a 23 minutes movie. Exported it in 1080p/25 fr mp4
    I've created a 1 minute trailer (with save as 'trailerxxx', so new project, and deleted everything I didn't need and add want I want in the teaser). Exported also in 1080p/25 fr mp4
    So both files were ok for viewing on multi-mediadisc/tv screen in 1080p
    Now people ask me for a dvd. Because I know that dvd has a maximum quality/size and the movie is only 23 minutes I wanted to add also the teaser on the dvd.
    What I did (because I don't know better :-) ) was making a third project, I added the 2 exported mp4 files (teaser and movie) and created dvd menu, headings and exported to dvd format and burn dvd.
    Everything worked but I presume that this workflow is not ideal to get best quality dvd ? I suppose that for qualityreasons it's better to work with the projectfiles ?
    But how can you do this (making a third project from 2 others without using the exportfiles).
    Or is there no difference in quality if you just use the exported files like I did ?

    Teaser has his own menubutton, but don't play auto before movie. But in this case that's not necessary. I don't want people to force them to see the trailer (if you had seen it, you would agree :-) lol )

  • Best compression for iDVD authoring and DVD playback?

    I have some DV footage that I had captured into MPEG-2 files on my old PC, then recently got a Mac and I want to be able to edit the footage on the Mac software I have and put it onto DVD for standard playback on a TV.
    I've got the latest Quicktime Pro with the MPEG-2 playback component, and MPEG Streamline that allows me to convert the MPEG-2 files into MOV files. I want to be able to edit them in iMovie and Final Cut Express, and then I want to drop them into iDVD.
    I would like to know what the best compression to use would be in converting the MPEG-2 files into MOV files or other format that's compatible with iMovie and Final Cut Express that will result in the best quality for DVD playback. I don't have Final Cut Pro so I don't have Compressor, which I understand, already has a preset compression optimized for DVD authoring and playback later on.

    So you have some already mpg-2 compressed files you want to edit in FCE. Using MPEG Streamclip, I suggest you convert them to DV video (which runs about 13 GB per hour) to work on them in FCE.
    As far as recompressing the edited video, I really doubt the mpg-2 encoding mode used will make much difference since you took the real quality hit when you initially mpg-2 compressed to content.
    If you want to take the additional time required, you can try the new 'Professional Encoding' option in iDVD 7, but I seriously doubt it will improve anything. (You know the old 'silk purse out of a sow's ear' thing...)

  • More then 2hrs to compresse 60minutes VIDEO file in MPEG 2 DVD BEST QUALITY

    On my Dual 2.5 GHz 4GB RAM, is this normal ?

    It took 3h30 minutes. Will I see a difference using DVD Fastest Encode ? For exemple, can it be possible to have a problem like the DVD freezing in some DVD player because I'm using a faster Encoding setting like DVD Fastest ?
    This is my workflow for now:
    -Export from FCP, AUDIO ONLY current settings, self contained.
    -Export from FCP, VIDEO ONLY current settings, self contained.
    -Import to Compresor the self contained files and compress the audio file using Dolby 2.0 before sending to DVDSP.
    -Import to Compresor the self contained video file and compress using DVD Best quality MPEG2 2-pass before sending to DVDSP.
    I do NOT export from FCP directly to Compressor.

  • How do I best compress a multi file project in Encore CS5 to fit a standard DVD?

    Hello,
    I have created a series of small films in Final Cut Pro X, they have been exported as seperate audio and video tracks, ac3 audio and mpeg video from the presets in FCPX.
    I want to use Encore CS5 to create DVDs out of them and I have used it before but only know the basics. The problem is that after I import all the media files, that I want on the first DVD, as assets and put them on the timeline it adds up to 7.23 GB, even though the time is just under 2 hours. I know that that might be pushing it a little bit in regards to the amount of time that I can fit on a regular 4.7 GB DVD, but it should't take up that much space. I removed a bunch of files from the timeline to see what I could fit and only got just under 1 hour. I can see that it is possible to decrease the file sizes, for instance by going to 'file'-'edit quality presets' and doing stuff there, but 'm not sure of the best way to do that.
    In other posts I have seen mentions of encore compressing files to fit automatically, but what i want is a way to fit all the video files, not the audio i guess, to a dvd with minimum quality loss. does anyone know the best way to do this?
    the only thing i can think off is either to use more DVDs than I feel that I should have to, or to burn a 7.23 GB image and then shrink that using soomething like DVD shrink, but that seems unecessary.
    So I have a feeling that there is a smart way to do this and would appreciate any help.
    Thanks. Nik

    hello,
    Firstly: John, if I export as a .mov and then import to Encore and transcode there will that mean that the file will be shrunk with minimum quality loss? because the .mov file i get using a simple movie export is massive.
    below follows my findings and more questions. I suppose I should maybe be moving over to a FCPX & Compressor 4 forum. I think I need to do some studies on Bitrate here.
    I tried the option of automatic transcoding in Encore to fit all files on a DVD and the results weren't terrible, in fact they are almost good enough, but not quite. it's sequences with fast movement that really are affected. So Stan, not much difference.
    the problem is that the footage i am working with is pretty poor quality to start with. I am working with a bunch of Super 8 family films that have been scanned on to DVDs.
    In FCPX a film that is 32 Min Pal SD 25p surround sound keeps coming out way to big. Below are some examples:
    -When I export directly from FCPX as a movie (.mov) with the simple export settings and 'keep current settings' the file ends up being a massive 11.16 GB! With all other setting options the file is also expected to be very big ranging from something like 2.3 GB to 23GB.
    -When I send it to Compressor 4 and choose the 'SD video sharing' option for uploading online it ends up at 1 GB. These are the settings and summary:

  • Best compression for video with a lot of static text and graphics

    Hello! I am producing an instructional DVD and am getting ready to output the files and was wondering what the best compression format would be for me to use.
    About 1/3 of the clips consist of video shot in SD with very little movement (guy sitting at a desk talking to the camera.) The rest contains graphics created in After Effects and then imported back into Final Cut. The graphics are primarily text based, and don't change too often. There are some still images as well, but they are static for the most part save for some occasional panning. Oh, and the total length of all the video clips is about 70 minutes.
    I would like to compress these videos so as to get the best possible quality in the text. I did a few tests, but the quality in the letters seemed a little worse than I had hoped. Is this just going to be an inevitability I have to live with, or is there a particular setting that would help me out?
    Thanks for reading this; any help would be greatly appreciated!
    PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM

    You know--I really have no idea why I didn't do it that way. I exported uncompressed files from After Effects and then imported them into FCP; some of the files are huuuge, like 60 GB+
    I think in the next version of this I will probably just edit in FCP then import it into AE, and then export from there. As it stands though, I've sort of made some changes and done stuff in FCP after importing the clips, so I'd like to just export using Compressor.
    So are you saying it's better to export uncompressed from FCP and then import that into Compressor and go from there? I've been just selecting the 'Export Using Compressor' option in FCP and going from there...
    Thanks!

  • BEST COMPRESSION FOR DVD

    HI,
      I want to find out the BEST compression setting for a FCP project that is 1hr and 41min. I'm burning it to a DVD that is 120min long.  It's NOT HD.  And it's going to be shown on a wall when it's finished.  What are the best settings for this? 
    Thank you for your help.

    #42 - Quick and dirty way to author a DVD
    Shane's Stock Answer #42 - David Roth Weiss' Secret Quick and Dirty Way to Author a DVD:
    The absolute simplest way to make a DVD using FCP and DVDSP is as follows:
    1. Export a QT movie, either a reference file or self contained using current settings.
    2. Open DVDSP, select the "graphical" tab and you will see two little monitors, one blue, one green.
    3. Select the left blue one and hit delete.
    4. Now, select the green one, right click on it and select the top option "first play".
    5. Now drag your QT from the browser and drop it on top of the green monitor.
    6. Now, for a DVD from an HD source, look to the right side and select the "general tab" in the track editor, and see the Display Mode, and select "16:9 pan-scan."
    7. Hit the little black and yellow burn icon at the top of the page and put a a DVD in when prompted. DVDSP will encode and burn your new DVD.
    THATS ALL!!!
    NOW...if you want a GOOD LOOKING DVD, instead of taking your REF movie into DVD SP, instead take it into Compressor and choose the BEST QUALITY ENCODE (2 pass VBR) that matches your show timing.  Then take THAT result into DVD SP and follow the rest of the steps.  Except you can choose "16:9 LETTERBOX" instead of PAN & SCAN if you want to see the entire image.

  • Best Compression To Use In QT For Saving Videos For DVD

    I own a number of DVDs of compliation videos that I'm extracting each video using Cinematzie to create a library of videos clips. If I save a video without any compression, its alsmost the size of the entire DVD. But I also have a choice to save the video clip with compression but am given a large number of choices to select from. I would like to compress a video clips to the best quality and sound possible to eventually burn my own DVD of my favorites. Can someone who has worked with various compression software suggest the best one for me to use. Thanks.

    I've has a lot of success with H.264 for the purpose you're speaking of if you're just archiving them to play back on the computer. If you want to output them to dvd to eventually play back on a conventional dvd and ntsc monitor, consider DV/DVC Pro. However, I've also read that H.264 is going to be the standard codec for some of the new HD DVDs (like BluRay).

  • Recently shot a 24min. short in HD.Fairly large file and I need to compress and burn to DVD.I realze I won't get HD on DVD,but I need decent compression for Festival submission.Any sample settings I might try?

    Recently edited a short to 24min.in FCPX.It is 1920x1080 24fps.It is large and I want to send on dvd for film festival submissions.How should I compress in Compressor to have the best quality and get it all on a dvd.I realize I won't get HD,but I need it small enough for dvd retaining some quality.

    The short answer is,  take a short but representative section and  "test" and "re-test" until you get the best results you can attain.
    Some further suggestions:
    I assume that the festival specified DVD and that Blu-Ray is not an option.
    The size of the file really doesn't matter to Compressor except that it somewhat reflects your movie's resolution and down-scaling from HD sizes to SD can introduce artifacts.
    Start with the standard Disk Burning preset; duplicate it and save as custom settings; name them appropriately as you make adjustments so you can see at a glance what settings worked better or worse.
    In Audio, set Dialogue Normalization to -31.
    Don't judge the image quality on your computer. The Apple DVD Player may give you a rough idea of whether you have issues. But it's necessary to play out to a broadcast monitor or TV from a DVD player to see what it will truly look like.
    Although it's possible that basic Disk Burning preset will give you what you want, I suggest turning opening Frame Controls (which should already be turned on) and setting the re-size filter to Best. You should also consider doing the scaling and the MPEG 2 encodes as separate steps (separate jobs).
    The Encoder section of the Inspector allows you to adjust quality settings. You can test CBR and VBR settings at different bit rates. If VBR, use the Two Pass; the default bit rates are pretty good…you might be able to bump them up a little, but I wouldn't go above 8 Mbs.
    BTW, how were you planning to burn them? If it's from Compressor, choose Hard Drive as Output Device to make a disk image. You can burn multiple copies from that disk image. You can also drag the Video TS folder into DVD Player to get a preliminary look at your results.
    Good luck.

  • What's the best compression setting for exporting video to DVD?

    My QT self contained file from FCP is 13 GB (1:02 min long) when I use DV NTSC while exporting. When iDVD finished encoding it, it went down to 3.4 GB (that includes video files in my iDVD menus).
    *Since the DVD media is 4.7 GB can I make better quality DVD by lessening compression while exporting from FCP?*
    I don't think there is a way to tweak compression in iDVD. And my second question:
    *Is "self contained" file better quality than just a reference file?*
    *I would like to make the best possible quality DVD and am looking for some tips on what settings would help me achieve it.*

    Hi Joby,
    Compressor is what you need.
    Import your file, choose DVD best quality 90 minutes from the settings tab (lower left window in Compressor). This will allow your movie to be converted as MPEG 2 and ac3 dolby stereo (best compression for DVD audio).
    The inspector window (lower right window) will allow you to decide/arrange settings as you like.
    If you are not sure about best bit rate choice use the [Bit Budget|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/bitbudget.html]
    As you can see the inspector window offers a range of customizable settings if you are not familiar with those the manual (main menu>help>user manual) will answer all your questions. Simply type a word or definition in the search area and most likely the manual will provide the info you seek.
    Self contained means that you create a file with exact copies from your original frames and edit on the timeline, a self-contained file becomes independent from your timeline. A reference movie as the definition says totally refers to your FCP project and wouldn't work on a different machine without referenced media files.
    There is no difference in quality between the two QTmovie options.
    Hope that helps

  • Help deciding best output format and workflow to obtain it.

    I’ve volunteered to create a class video for my son’s school.  The majority of my source footage (~80%) is DV NTSC 720x480i 16:9 29.97 fps shot on a Sony DSR-PDX10.  The remainder consists of 1920x1080p 59.941 fps, 1280x720p 119.89 fps, and 1280x720p 59.941 fps, all shot with a GoPro 3.  I need to deliver the final product on discs to the students/parents, though I can be flexible as to whether it is SD DVD or HD Blu-Ray.  I have Adobe CS6 Production Premium suite of applications and I’m not opposed to purchasing other products/add-ons in the couple of hundred dollar range if they’d be of a significant help.
    I’m trying to figure out what output format would give the best quality and the workflow to achieve it.  I’ve been perusing the internet looking for help, but it has gotten a bit overwhelming and there doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer out there.
    I’m wondering since most of my footage is 720x480i, should that be my output format and just down-convert or crop the HD footage.  Or since most folks will be viewing on HDTV’s (which would up-convert an SD-DVD anyhow), should my output format be HD and should I up-convert the SD footage myself.  In any case, when and how should I do the up/down converting, interlacing/de-interlacing, and converting to/from square/non-square pixels (before importing into Premiere, on the timeline, with 3rd party converters, on export or in Encore with AME, etc).
    Any advice or suggestions would be most certainly appreciated.

    If most of the footage is SD, I'd just make the call to work SD and go out to DVD. You shouldn't have too much of an issue using the GoPro footage on an SD timeline I don't think. Just keep an eye on your frame edges and scale up if the PAR mixing is introducing any letter/pillarboxing.
    But I wouldn't export out in DV AVI format for your final export. DV AVI is quite lossy. Sure, most of your footage is already DV, but if you're adding any titles they'll get really gunked up. Instead, go directly out of Premiere into your DVD formats (MPEG2-DVD with NTSC DV Wide preset).
