Export settings 5.1 for DVD

I have just updated to 5.1 and want to export a project for DVD studio Pro 4. With 4.5HD I exported to mpeg2, 2 pass VBR, PAL. However, this option does not appear in 5.1. What is the equivalent please.

Export using Compressor - then choose a suitable preset to give a similar result, or you can customise to get exactly what you want!
Easy!
Good Luck.

  • What fcp export settings to use for bluray DVD

    I am editing a huge wedding and have to put chapters and full wedding onto a bluray dvd.  What export settings could I use to compress videos a bit so they fit on a bluray without losing a lot of quality?

    You have to export to QuickTime Movie, not QuickTime Conversion.   You don't want to force any recompression on the video; it will only cause problemsin Toast.
    If you want to save time & disk space, UNcheck the option called 'Make movie self-contained' when you export to QT Movie.   As long as your Blu-ray authoring tool (eg Toast) is on the same Mac as FCE, you can use the QT reference movie produced this way as input to your Blu-ray authoring app, same as you would a self-contained QT movie.
    It is important, however, that you make sure to do Sequence > Render All > Both and Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown before exporting your video from FCE.

  • Help: Export format from FCP for DVD Studio

    What settings do I export my 3 minute film so I can use DVD Studio Pro? (What size do I want if I want my film to be wide screen just like a professional DVD movie you buy at your nearest store?)
    Thank You!

    In FCP, go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie. You can choose to make the file self-contained or not. Do NOT recompress all frames. The resulting file will be an exact copy of your Sequence in FCP.
    Use that file in Compressor. Choose the appropriate preset for DVD. Compressor will create an MPEG-2 (.m2v) video file and an AC3 audio file. Use those two files in DVD-SP for authoring.

  • What are the best quality settings in encore for DVD production?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm Paul. I was working on a HD PROJECT 1920 by 1080 30p 50mbps. I export it is using h.264 codec which produce mp4 file in pr pro cs6. When I import it in encore and export to DVD. The quality gets so dull and blurry compare to other DVD. I did not make any changes, just import and burn. It would be very helpful if some one can suggest highest quality possible settings for DVD. I even exported my project to mpegdvd. Then tried burning it with Nero 11. Every time I get error message saying, " some of the files cannot be written on the disc"  and the quality is even worse if I use encore with this file. Today, I gave a try to Amrisoft DVD creator and the quality was awesome. I did nothing just imported mp4 and it burned it on the DVD. But I want to use encore since I bought the the whole production package. Thank you.

    You do realize, don't you, that H.264 isn't a supported CODEC on DVD? Blu-ray, yes. DVD, no. And the top bit rate for DVD is 9.8Mbps IIRC, but a more practical limit is in the 7-8Mbps range. Maximum resolution is 720x480 in NTSC contries, and 720x526 in PAL countries, again IIRC.
    So if you are coming to a DVD with 1920 x 1080 30p source at 50Mbps, a lot of information gets thrown away to make a DVD. Maybe 90% gets trashed. So it shouldn't be surprising that the resulting video looks "dull and blurry" in comparison. It should if you're only looking at 10% of the source data.
    When I've done work something like this -- making DVDs from HD sources -- I typically set AME for MPEG-2, a max bit rate of around 8Mbps, a target of around 7Mbps, and let AME do the down-sampling and re-encoding as it will. The resulting DVD looks pretty good to me. Not anything like as good as a blu-ray, but played in an upscaling blu-ray player it looks reasonably good.
    Now, it is possible to export small amounts of HD source (less than about 15 minutes worth) to DVD in blu-ray format. DVD players will choke on it since it's a foreign format, but some blu-ray layers will play it. Looks just like blu-ray for the short time that it will play. I've never done this myself though so I can't tell you how to do it.

  • Best export settings in iMovie for later import to iDVD

    Hello,
    I've created a few iMovie projects that I've put on DVD using the Share To iDVD option.
    I have a few different projects that I want to put on one DVD. What are the best export settings in iMovie to create files that I can later import using iDVD?
    Cheers

    I would sugest using the Apple defaults - which you will get if you use SHARE/Export Movie.
    It is possible to infinitely tweak the parameters by using SHARE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME, but in my experience, you are not likely to visibly improve quality. However, you might be able to get more compression(i.e. a smaller file size) at nearly the same quality.
    However, there is no harm in experimenting if you like.
    You should use Movie to QuickTime Movie. Click Options. Generally, set the video codec to h.264. If space is not an issue, you can use Apple Intermediate Codec instead, but only if you are going to edit the movie some more. For a final movie, use h.264.
    For frame rate, use automatic or 24 frames, but you can use fewer and see if it imporves quality.
    For bit rate, you can use up to 20 Mbps, but 16Mbps is the highest I have gone, and that results in a very large file. With h.264, you can get good results with 10 or even lower. (Note: 10 Mbps = 10,000 Kbps)
    Here is the HELP section on this.

  • Best high quality format to export from final cut for DVD

    What is the best format to export in final cut to put onto a DVD?
    Mostly its footage from VHS so it doesnt have to be awesome but need some tips
    cheers

    You can't get any better than what your Sequence settings were in FCP. Export a self-contained or reference movie (File->Export->QuickTime Movie) from FCP. Do NOT recompress all frames, but do include DVD-SP markers (if any).
    Bring the resulting file into Compressor and choose the appropriate DVD preset. You can duplicate, then modify a preset if needed.
    You'll have two files from Compressor: an MPEG-2 video file (.m2v) and a Dolby Digital audio file (.ac3).
    Import those two files into DVD-SP for authoring and burning.

  • What PDF export settings to use for highest possible resolution printing?

    I use indesign to create a roughly 68-page marketing booklet. The document is landscape and setup to print on 8.5" x 11" as a landscape book with facing-pages. I upload a PDF to a professional printing company to print a full bleed booklet. The book usually includes roughly 15, full-page, high resolution images as well as numerous other high resolution images throughout so it is important that the resolution is as high as possible and the images come out clean when printed.
    On my old computer, I had a custom PDF export preset that I used to produced hi-res, print quality pdf's that were approximately 528MB in size.  I recently got a new computer and I lost that old Preset...  Now, when I use the "high quality print" default setting, the file size is about 74MB, much lower than what the documents used to be. I have played around with some of the settings, but I still cannot get the files to come out near as large as they used to be. 
    Is this an Indesign doument setup issue, or an export issue?  What settings should I use in order to produce the largest, highest-quality, highest-resolution PDF possible?
    Thanks for an input and guidance!

    The size in mb is pretty much irrelevant and is going to vary with the number of pages and the type and quantity of graphical content.
    The HQ Print preset downsamples  raster art to 300 ppi if it's over 450, and uses jpeg compression to reduce file size. This is usually more than adequate for commercial printing. For fine art printed at a 200 lpi screen you might want to change the downsampling to 350 or 400 ppi and use zip compression (lossless) or no compression at all. I suspect your custom preset used no compression, and might not even have downsampled, but there's no advantage to sending more image data than the RIP needs to process the image.

  • Best setting for exporting my fcp6 sequence for DVD

    Hello,
    So I imported all my footage from an HD Cam into FCP 6... it gave all my clips the apple pro res 22 codec, with the 1440x1080 setting
    I cut the sequence... and now I'm ready to get her onto a DVD.
    When I go to export, what are my best options? I'm going to play the cut on an HD tv.
    Thanks

    What kind of TV you play back isn't as important as the media and player. What kind of player (DVD, Blu-ray, HD-DVD) is it? To what kind of disc are you burning, (SD) DVD or HD-DVD? Also, how long is your sequence?

  • Exporting To Highest Quality for DVD

    Hi, I'm preparing to send a 12-minute short documentary that I shot on a GL2 to a film festival, and they need to receive it on a DVD. What is the best quality format to export it to (without Compressor)? H.264 as a .mov file? I exported it to .mov file using mp4 compression, but the quality was not nearly as good as I would have liked, but if there's a way to export to a "DVD-quality" image without spending hours exporting H.246, I'll be happy. Thanks.

    Are they going to play the H.264 file (sending it as a data DVD) or are they going to play it as a video DVD?
    If the latter, h.264 has nothing to do with the process.
    Export your file from FCP to compressor. Select 60 min best quality and import those files (m2v + ac3) into DVDSP to create the disk.

  • Export settings from FCP for viewing on a PC?

    Hi, I need to export a FCP sequence so that it can be played from a clients PC hooked up to a screen.
    I've tried H.264 but there's a massive loss of quality in the result. Am I missing a setting? The Pro Res export looks perfect but I understand this wont play on a PC and as the file's going to be passed around I wont be able to install anything on the end users PC. 
    New to AV so would be grateful for any help.
    Thanks

    How are you exporting h264?  There are bunch of very useful presets in compressor that can deliver excellent quality.  First off, I think you need to make sure that the pc user has quicktime installed.  If you can't controll what's installed on the pc, I would purchase one of the flip4mac options which will allow you to export a wmv which will open on any pc (I think).  Sorenson Squeeze also offers wmv export options (I think).

  • EXPORT SETTINGS FOR TWO-DAY SEMINAR- HELP

    Does anyone know how the best export settings using compressor for a two-day training/seminar video? There's about 12hours total that need to be burned to DVD.

    You're going to have to break this down to multiple DVD's. Everyone NEEDS a bathroom break about every 2 hours-- so it looks like 6 dvd's.
    There is absolutely no reason to even try to put this on one disc.

  • Import/Export Settings for Canon T4i Video

    Hey folks,
    I'm new to Premiere and loving it, but I'm wondering what the best sequence settings, as well as export settings, will be for video captured from my Canon Rebel T4i camera.
    I prefer to shoot either in 1080p with 24 fps, or 720p at 60 fps––what settings within premiere should I use when setting up my project, and what are some good export options for Youtube/Vimeo?
    thanks!

  • Export Settings for Mpix Pro

    Can anyone tell me specific export settings to use for mpix pro? Or, settings in general for commercial labs?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Changing the DPI or PPI (pixels per inch) setting has absolutely no impact on print quality. The only thing that matters is the pixel dimensions of the image. For instance, if you send an image with pixel dimensions of 800x600 pixels and expect to print a 16 x 20" print from that image, it isn't going to work. There aren't enough pixels regardless of what the PPI setting is. If you want to do the math to determine how many pixels you need that is up to you. I usually just send the full-sized image. Most of the labs that I have used will warn you if there aren't enough pixels. So if you send the full-sized image it doesn't matter whether it's set at 72 PPI, 150 PPI, 300 PPI, or whatever. You still have all the pixels and can print the same quality.
    It's amazing what commercial labs can do these days. I was in a local camera store one day when they have an in-house photolab. And they were printing a very large photo on roll paper. It probably measured somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 x 4' or larger. The quality was very good. I asked them how large of an image was required for a print of that size, and to my surprise they said two megapixels. While I would recommend pushing my luck that far I was really impressed with the quality of the image.

  • Export settings for best quality for pages with letters etc.

    Hi, I am trying to make video of a musical piece, featuring the score of the piece with pages turning following the progression of the music. I made the video in Adobe After Effects CS5 and exported it so it would be lossless. The video itself is a .mov file and looks great when I view it in Quicktime, but when I import it into FCE the quality goes down a bit. I don't know if FCE is handling the clips correctly or if it's just for making it quicker to view. Any suggestions on export settings from FCE for best quality of a video of this nature, so that the notes are clearly readable.
    Thanks in advance
    Ps. It has to be in a format suitable for Youtube.

    Under "Sequence" and in "Settings" and in the tab "Render Control" I have: Frame Rate: 100% Resolution: 100%.
    If that is what you were referring to... but under the tab which is called RT and is located left of the timeline and left of the timecode. There I have checked : Safe RT, (Playback Video Quality) Dynamic, (Playback Frame Rate) High.
    There might be a way to import the clip in better quality (so it doesn't downgrade the quality).
    Was mostly trying to find out with the export but it might have something to do with this.
    Thanks
