How do i get the best DVD Quality?

HI,
I'm having trouble like many people, to be able to get the best qualiy looking DVD. How do i get my motion menus looking sharp and the colours to say vibrant and not saturate? The quailty reduces compared to the quality i viewed it in the DVD Pro 4 Simulator. Why is this?? What is the best settings to set up a SD DVD? I used: 7 bit-8 bit max, with Two Pass VBR and best motion. How else can i get my meus to look better? Do i change the menu render setting to software rather than hardware, does this make a difference??
Can anyone suggest the best possible settings for a SD DVD Burn?
Help would be extremly apreciated!
Cheers,

Hi again,
I filmed a timelaspse for the motion background, filmed on a Canon xl1s, mini dv, and then after capturing and editing, i export using quicktime movie, with settings of the compressor set to none and 100%. I can't export using compressor, due to it not being able to connect to the background process. So that is my reason for quicktime movie export. After export i check in quictime player, and it looks fine and obviously the best i can get until i fix the background progress thing.
I understand it will degrade, just not by so much from when i view it in simulator to just an unpleasing unproffesional look.
If i export my audio in quicktime to ac3 what will that to do change my image quality?? And what do you mean by using good quality blanks??
Thanks for replying David

  • How do I get the best image quality on Plasma HD display?

    I have lots of pictures taken with a 7 Megapixel camera, I've made some slideshows it iPhoto.
    I have a 42 inch HD plasma TV with HDMI and component video inputs, how do I hook my Powermac to the plasma TV to see the best possible quality on my plasma TV.
    I imagine it should be through the HDMI input, but how do I connect the DVI output of my G4 to the Plasma TV?
    Best regards,

  • How do i get the best video quality in itunes

    Ive never had this problem before but some HD movies, from the iTunes store, started looking a bit grainy or white on iTunes.  IS this likely to be an issue with my pc or with the content?

  • How can I get the best out of my battery life?

    There are a variety of things you can do to extend your device battery life, and use your phone for longer periods of time to see you through the day.
    Set your screen to timeout after a period of inactivity. This way your phone is not sitting idle with the screen backlight consuming extra energy. The recommended screen timeout is 30 seconds, but most phones will allow from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
    Turn off location services (GPS), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not using these functions. When they're on, your phone constantly searches for your current location and open networks, which has a big impact on battery life.
    Turn down the screen brightness. For example, on an iPhone 4 the lowest brightness setting gives roughly 6.5 hours of continuous use, whereas the highest setting gives roughly 3.5 hours. You can always adjust the brightness when you're outside so you can still see your screen clearly. Some devices have an auto-brightness setting, where the phone adjusts the screen brightness depending on the light around it.
    Close your applications. On smartphones, returning to the ‘home' screen only minimises your apps – they keep running in the background. Closing your apps fully will save power; for example, on Samsung Galaxy devices hold down the home button for two seconds to see a list of all open apps. You can then swipe these to the left of the screen to exit them completely. On an Apple product, double press the home button to bring up all active applications and exit from there.

    Re: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
    Hi,
    When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
    Thank you.

  • How do you get the best Range?

    How do you get the best range on the Extreme? I am very unfamiliar with the settings and what they mean.

    The default settings on the AirPort Extreme are set for maximum radio power so it will produce the best range without further adjustments.
    The actual range of the device will depend on the number of obstructions in the signal path between the AirPort Extreme and the other device that is connecting to it.

    Call Apple, give them your computer serial number, and they will ship you disks for a small charge if disks are available. Go to the Apple Store for your country, then to the bottom of the page//Contact Us for the correct telephone number.
    If that isn't what you ant, can you provide more information?

  • How do I get the best quality DVD rip?

    I need to rip some video from a DVD (my own work, no copyright issue) and everythign I try makes a noticably inferior quality video image.  I have used Handbrake and a few different commericial utilities.  I am looking to acheive a file size which is similar to the file on the DVD, which is about 1 GB.  I tried one utility which converted to Apple Pro Res .mov, but it made the file a massive 8 GB, but the image looked significantly worse!  Can't understand that.  I know the image is compressed on a DVD, but what is the best way to get it off and looking no less quality than it did on the DVD.  I eventually want to edit that file in Final Cut Pro X to make a showreel.
    Thanks

    That's wrong. You should use 720x480 anamorphic, which is what the original file should be if it was correctly made. I can't say what rip it is doing but that's the way it works.
    I don't see the option to use "anamorphic", so it comes out 4:3.  How do I fix that?
    In terms of Ripit's involvement in the process, I have also tried this using Streamclip, direct from a DVD and get the same results, so for all intents, Ripiit is not a factor here.  I only use it to get the encrypted DVD on to my drive (see earlier note about the material being my own work!).
    The distortion I see seems to coincide where interlace shows the most distortion too, so I'm figuring this may be related to de-interlacing, but I do need to de-interlace, so how do I get around that?  Here's the same image from the non-interlace output.  Otherwise, the Streamclip copy looks good, but stil need to deal with interlace.

  • HOW DO I GET THE BEST QUALITY RESULT!?!!?

    I have a canon GL2 and when I plug it in directly to the TV and watch my footage the quality is great, I then upload it to Final Cut and the quality is somewhat there, but when I go to export it I can never achieve the quality that it gets when I hook up the camera directly to the TV, and roll the tape. How do I export using compressor or not, to get the best quality, I dont care how big the file size I just need the quality!!! Thank you in advance for the help!

    It depends on what format you want to output to.
    If you just want the best quality, then output to 10-bit Uncompressed quicktime - the files will be huge though.
    Do you need to output back to tape, DVD or something else?
    Also, make sure that you have the right settings in your sequences, so you don't loose any quality there.

  • How do I get the best resolution images?

    Can anyone explain to me how to get the best resolution of images and text in DSP. Down sizing to 720x576 at 72ppi in photoshop makes for better quality when using layered menus but my standard menus are poor quality. Why does a smaller image look lower res than a big one? I'd have expected the opposite.

    stupid problem. I don't know why Adobe dosent fix it.

  • Getting The Best Sonic Quality Mixes

    I am trying to find out how to get the best mixes, sonically speaking, in Logic. Of course, I love doing quick high-speed off-line bounces for simple rough mixes... But curious if there is a better way to get the ultimate sonic quality in a mix.
    The three basic ways I can think of all are:
    - off-line bounce
    - real-time bounce
    - real-time recording back into two channels
    * Question: I'm curious which one yields the highest sonic quality mix?
    Also: Pro tools seems to only be able to do real-time bounces - is that because of a limitation of their software - or because they feel it will yield the highest quality Sonics?

    When in doubt, do the Phase reversal test.
    Bounce a mix in real time. Bounce a mix off line.
    Re-import them onto 2 stereo tracks. Make sure they start at the same point. Put a gainer plug-in on one of the new tracks. Start playing them at the same time, and flip the phase of the gainer plug-in.
    If you get complete silence after you've flipped the phase, the two signals are identical.... bit for bit.
    I use off-line bouncing all the time, because I know it's accurate. However, there were issues in earlier versions of Logic, where plug-in automation, particularly automated bypasses, weren't executed accurately. I believe this has been fixed, but... for a final mix, I still tend to bounce in real-time, just so I can hear that everything is playing properly.
    Bouncing out and back to 2 tracks in real time might not pass the phase test, because at that point the converters you're using play into the equation.
    It's my understanding that it's the limitation of the (current) software, that prevents PT from having this feature. I know a lot of PT engineers who would really like to see it implemented.

  • How Do I Get the Best Range with the Express?

    What settings should I use to get the best range with the express? What Radio Mode, Multicast Rate and Transmit Power should I use? What is the estimated area that this will cover?

    +What Radio Mode+
    802.11g only would be a good compromise. Here I am assuming when you say that you want the best range that you do not care if better range means lower network speed. Everything in wireless is a trade off. You cannot gain something without giving something else up in return.
    +Transmit Power+
    100%
    +Multicast Rate+
    No effect on range, but a good idea to use a lower setting in general
    +What is the estimated area that this will cover?+
    Not possible to predict without knowing a whole lot more about how many obstructions will be in the signal path, what they are, the construction of your home, other wireless networks and cordless phones around you, etc. and many other factors. Please tell us what you are trying to do with as many details as possible.

  • What are the best setting to export video from after effects to get the best video quality ?

    Hi
    I am editing a raw time lapse in after effects and also some short video clips I would like to export them from after effects and upload them online afterwards but i get a bit lost in exporting settings and formats and mbps..
    What are the best settings to export a video and get best quality(high) in full hd 1080 ? in 4k ? and what would be the best setting to export animations/logo/intro and get best quality ?
    Thank you very much.

    two more questions :
    what are the export settings for 4k files for web/you tube ?
    to play on my PC using  windows media player or Quicktime player and getting the best quality ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do I get the best render for group presentations

    Shooting AVCHD at 60i frame rate from Canon HFG 20. Projecting from laptop to large groups and need the best video quality. I've rendered every way I can with poor quality. WMV seems to yield the best results but nothing compared to the .mts files that come from the camera.

    Have you tried to Share+Publish as an AVCHD file, with the H.264 CODEC?
    Not sure exactly which media players will play those to your projector, but the free VLC Player, and MediaPlayer Classic HC should both handle those files.
    Also, what are the capabilities of the projector - any limitations on the Frame Size?
    Good luck,

  • How can I get the best quality video on YouTube?

    I tried what you posted from another poster, Steve, but had a problem at step 2, the part in red.
    2. Import this AVI file into Windows MovieMaker, place the file on MovieMaker's timeline and Publish (to your hard drive) a 
    WMV, dvd-quality (4:3 size) PAL 3,0 M.
    When I click Publish, the only option I get is "YouTube" and "Get Add Ons".
    Since the option I was told to take didn't exist, I clicked "save movie" and then "high definition 1080p".  Hey I'm just trying to figure this stuff out.  I'm new to it, so I picked the highest quality I could find.
    Well, the result is a movie on YouTube that is OK, but nowhere near the quality of the movie on my computer. Just for fun, I uploaded the AVI file to YouTube from MovieMaker.  It was a huge file, it did upload, but the quality was still not there.
    So, I return to my original question, which is almost the same as the originally posted question:
    How should I save video with Premiere Elements to get the highest quality video to post to YouTube?  The videos were taken in AVCHD format, but after editing, I don't know the best rendering option to get the highest quality video when viewed on YouTube.  The videos look great on my computer, but on YouTube, the video is really degraded.
    Thanks for any help!
    I have an i7 processor, 8 gigs or RAM, and am running Windows 7 x64.  Video editing is with Premiere Elements and my video camera is a Canon HG10 that shoots AVCHD.

    I had the best success using the John Cloudman method from the link you posted.  The video was much better quality  on YouTube (in my opinion) with this method than the method of going to Movie Maker etc. I tried John Cloudman's Frame widtht of 1280 and Frame Height of 720 and then frame width 1920 frame width by 720.   I found 1920x1080 better quality on YouTube than Mr. Cloudman's 1280x720. 
    I pasted in the part of the link below that I found most useful. A big thanks to John Cloudman for posting this!!
    John Cloudman offers further advice:
    From the Share tab,  choose Personal Computer and then QuickTime.  Choose the Cable Modem,  DSL preset and then click the Advanced button.
    From the  settings window, do the following:
    b Video Tab
    *Video  Codec: H.264
    *Quality: 100
    *Frame Wdith: 1280
    *Frame Height:  720
    *Frame Rate: 29.97
    *Field Order: None
    *Pixel Aspect  Ratio: square
    *Set Bitrate: checked
    *Bitrate: 8000 kbps
    b  Audio Tab
    *Audio Code: AAC
    *Output Channels: Stereo
    *Frequency:  44kHz
    That should generate a .mov file that Youtube will  handle correctly.  You can modulate that Bitrate to reduce the amount of  data size, and  you can modulate the Quality number to reduce the  encoding time. I  wouldn't go lower than 3000 kbps for a bitrate or  below 50 on Quality.  Hope this helps everyone!
