What are best Mpeg encoder settings for making DVDs?

In switching from PP1.5 to CS3 the procedure is different for making DVDs and we have to encode mpeg files that later get picked up by Encore DVD build proces. What are the best mpeg encode settings for making the DVDs?
Thanks,
Chuck Taylor

Question:
If you are doing a video that is small enough that you are not worried about size, what is the absolute best quality encoder settings? Would a Continous Bitrate result in a higher quality file generally? VBR is for trying to make a smaller file I assume.
I'm frustrated with even white letters on black titles that have some flicker. I just don't seem to get the smooth quality I desire.
Should I look at a different encoder?
If you output PP3 to an AVI and then import it into encore, isn't there a reduction of Q. due to the save to the AVI file?
thanks.

What are the best imovie, mpeg4 settings for making dvds?

What are the best imovie, mpeg4 settings for making dvds?

• iMovie'08 to 11
- Share to Media Browser - AND as Large (or Medium) - HD or other resolutions degrades the final result
iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tools of choise if quality is important as they all degrade the picture by discarding every second line when going from, Event's to Project's and this can not be mended.
iMovie HD6 and FinalCut delivers 100% of what any DVD-Authoring program needs.
• DVD is as standard MAX - intrelaced SD-Video - and can not be any better than this
• iDVD does only care about TIME / Duration as
iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
About double on DL DVDs.
• iDVD Does Region = Zero (to be played everywhere)
• Frame rate - DVD can be in two types PAL (25fps) and NTSC (29.97fps)
If Your material is 30fps then keep to NTSC (29.97fps), if 25fps keep to PAL.
One can feed iDVD the other frame rate - BUT RESULTING DVD WILL BE BAD
I use JES_Deinterlacer (free on Internet) to convert all material to the same and final frame rate
• NTSC - US etc
• PAL - EU etc

What are the default font settings for 7.0.1 I have messed with them a bit and now my text is blotchy. I want to start clean.

I tried to adjust font settings to a font that I prefer and a size I can read. It was all kind of messed up so I searched what the default settings should be to start at ground zero again which I found but now it is worse. The main issue is that text is blotchy, dark some places, light another. Monitor is new so it's not issue. What exactly are the Default settings for 7.0.1 I'm not sure mine are correct ??? What other things can I look at if the default doesn't improve everything? I have Windows 7 and turning clear text on or help has no effect. PLEASE HELP ???

You can see the defaults in a screenshot in this KB article:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Some+text+shows+up+bold+after+upgrade
You can check the font setting in: Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
Default Font: Times New Roman (16)
Fonts for : Western
Proportional: Serif (16)
Serif : Times New Roman
Sans-serif : Arial
Monospace : Courier New (13)
[X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Are there any problems reported in the Graphics section at the bottom of the Help > Troubleshooting Information page?
If you have an ATI graphics display try to disable "Morphological Filtering" in the Catalyst display driver:
* Catalyst Control Center > 3D Settings > Disable Morphological Filtering
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

What are the basic sync settings for ical

I was successful in having my icloud mail account sync with my windows phone, the nokia lumia 800, and this works beautifully. found the settings necessary to make it work. I wonder if there is a place to find settings for ical such as webdav or such other thing so that I can arrive at the same result with ical updating and syncing with the lumia 800. it has to be possible!!

Welcome to the forum.
The good news is that if you have PrPro CS 6, you do not need to gather all the full specs. of your footage for the creation of a Sequence. Just Import the Clips, grab the first one, and drag it to the New Icon, at the bottom of your Project Panel.
To find the full specs., just so that you will know, you can also download and install MeidaInfo (PC), or Media Inspector (Mac).
Good luck,

Best ATV-2 settings for ripping DVDs using Handbrake

I have a large dvd library that I want to get into itunes for the ATV-2 as well as the ability to use on my iOS4 devices. Can anyone share their experiences?

If you're talking about commercial, encrypted DVDs, the terms of use of these forums prohibit discussion of software or methods of breaking the encryption/copying them.
For unencrypted DVDs, Handbrake is one of the most recommended applications.
Best of luck.

Best MPEG Streamclip settings for exporting a .mov file? Please help!

Am really stuck... I have a 1.6GB VOB file (which also exists in copy as a 2GB and a 1GB .mov file). I need to make a quicktime copy of the movie to upload online, but the maximum limit is 500MB. Because it's for a contact for a film festival, it needs to be as high quality as humanly possible, but has to be sent online. What precise settings should I use? I'm in the UK. Can anyone help me? Would be seriously grateful.

We don't care how big the original is; it is the length that matters. Take your limit of 500MB and multiply by 1024 to get megabits. Divide that number by the length in seconds of your movie. That is your bitrate in megabits per second. Duplicate one of the best-quality presets and change the bitrate. Make sure all the high quality options are on.

What are the sign-in settings for Jabber?

Firstly, I do not have a business account with Cisco.
We have downloaded the desktop Jabber program.
I have now registered an account with Jabber and an account with Cisco.
When I open Jabber Video on the desktop, it asks for a username.
What is the Jabber username? The email sent to me from Jabber states: "Sign in with your email address or jabber email" - but this is not the username, because the program will not accept an @ sign in the username field.
I have tried the username that I signed up to Cisco with - this is not it either.
I see a notice stating "Connection rejected by server. Try logging in again"
On the Jabber start up screen, I see "Sign-in settings". When I open this window, all fields (Internal Server, External Server, SIP Domain) are blank. Why are they blank? Could this be the problem? Are the data for these fields to come from my side or from Cisco?
Unfortunately, Cisco tech support won't take my call because I do not have an account and therefore cannot set up a "Tech Support File".
Appreciate all feedback.
thanks

Hi Stephen,
To login, the internal server should be: https://boot.ciscojabbervideo.com/endpoint/configuration
The external server and domain fields are blank.
Your username only needs the prefix of your @jabber.com video address. For example, if your video address is [email protected] then your username is "stephen."
Unfortunately, there is only forum support for this free service.

What are the default trackpad settings for the MacBookPro13 (Mid 2012'), What are the default trackpad settings for the MacBookPro13 (Mid 2012')

Could anyone answer the question above, with detail? I would like the defaut trackpad settings, and preferably others of the MacBookPro of the Mid 2012 model?

your home folder should have the permissions set as you state them.
Everything inside your home folder (like Music, Documents and others) should be more like
you: read&write
staff: no rights
everyone: no rights
but if you are the only user of your Mac, these settings have little importance to you.
to repair the permission boot into recovery (pressing command + R before you hear the start up sound. Then start Disk Utility from the Utility menu and choose Repair permissions. See this article for a detailed set of instructions. It's a little older, but still valid-

What are the flat frequency settings for bass & treble knobs on X-Fi Elite Pro?

Ok, I have the X-Fi Elite Pro and I need to set its bass & treble levels (volume control panel) to a flat frequency response setting. I noticed that the default value given by creative is 50% for bass level and 50% for treble level. So, what is the flat frequency response setting for bass and treble knobs? 0% or 50%?
Kind regards
Message Edited by Hyperion on 11-14-2008 08:26 PM

Ok, I get the picture. The reason why I asked this question came up when I bought a new set of monitors (the Edirol MA-15DBK). I found out that after changing speakers (I had a set of Philips SPC-3208) the new ones were set to 0% boost/cut for bass/treble, but the sound came out quite bassy in an almost irritating level. So, I thought that maybe my card's bass levels were somewhat boosted. I guess now some lower frequencies are revealed, so I have to take care of my room acoustics. However the reviews for the Edirols gave low bass levels, so this gets more complicated. I am still in a 30-days trial, so maybe I will have a look at the Gigaworks T40 series II and I'll see what happens then...

What are the ideal/optimum settings for the Airport Express for WiFi... ?

I currently have my MacPro plus my MacBook Pro running from my Airport Express and they work perfectly... but my new iPhone 4 won't see the network... does anyone know why this could be and is it something to do with security or other setting I have on my Airport Express.... I have been onto iPhone 4 support and they are all about restore and resets... it's gotta be something small I'm doing wrong.
Any suggestions or advice most welcome.

Hi Bob and Sijnon...
Cheers for your replies and comments... I don't really know hat a closed network is... I do have it password protected and I'm using the WPA2 Personal security protocol... the one thing I can say is that it is broadcasting in the 5GHz band as I had it set to the 2.4GHz and I couldn't pick up the signal in my kitchen so I switched recently to the 5GHz band and my MacPro now works fine all over the house. I was told by a colleague that the iPhone 4 supported the 5GHz band..?
Is this the problem... is this reason why it won't join the network..?

Compression settings for making DVD in FCE

I'm sure this question must have been answered many times - but I can't seem to find anything...
I want to make DVD from FCE - I ususally make a Quick time file from QT conversion - but what settings are teh correct ones for DVD?
The project is in a mix of clips in 1920x1080 and 720x575 and the QT file I made with these settings: H264 - size: 1920x1080 looks good when played on teh computer, but when burned to a DVD with iDVD, it jumps in the DVD player .
When I make a QT file (not QT conversion), it sqeezes the dimensions down to 4:3
Any suggestions?

for usage with iDVD, no 'Conversion' needed, the dvd-authoring app will convert anyhow. 'Export QT movie' should do it. too much 'intermediates' doesn't add any value in DVD-making.
'jumping' usually indicates a) too high burn speed, b) 'dirty' player- or burner-head, c) 'wrong' brand of dvd-r (Verbatim has an excellent track-record here), don't use no-names.
