  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Premiere Pro Settings For DVD?

Ben, you should have had an audio file created when you exported MPEG2, if not make sure you have Export Audio checked in your export settings (look on page #1 of this post for my settings). So you get two separate files. Then in Encore drag both files into your Timeline and you should be good to go.
 
Is dynamic linking not an option? Or are the results not as good?
 
thanks Al.

Re: dynamic linking- we are trying to get better quality by exporting Blu ray and importing manually into encore
 
I looked at the difference in both methods and the Blu Ray export is marginally better than DVD settings. But still crappy to my eyes. I'm going to try Greg's method next since I'm pretty tech savvy. I'll report back with my results.

Interesting. One reason mine probably looked so clean was because I started with 4k right off the Premiere timeline before exporting to MPEG 2 Blu-ray. This suggests that 4k encoded out to DVD really does make a difference and shooting at 4k or above is justified whenever possible. But again, the encodes are pretty time consuming.

I thought the check Max Render option on export would go straight to the 4K source and rescale, so what would be the difference than having 4K on the timeline? Most of our footage in the clip is 4K. Only difference is I mastered it in 1080P.
 
Still can't get rid of these stupid black bars on left/right. I've tried cropping top/bottom and in the output tab on the export settings no black bars are visible, yet on my 50" LCD black bars appear.

Any ideas?

Al, not sure how Media Encoder handles that. You may be right.
 
What are the steps to product a BluRay formatted DVD?

I could do this easily with FCP, create a 1920 x 1080p DVD formatted as a BluRay (but with a lesser bit rate than normal BluRay).

Is that possible with CS 5.5 or CS6 on Win7?
