Project Setting - Transcoding Settings question

Apr 20, 2012 11:35 AM

Hello all,

 

I am a bit confused on the Encore settings.    Should I leave them as the default or should I tweak them??    The DVD tests that I have made seem to have a little bit of interlacing during playback in the Sony player that I am using via HDMI to the Sony TV.

 

When I check "project settings" in Encore it shows:  Transcode Settings:   Codec MPEG 2, 720x480 Frame Rate 29.97  (my project is 23.976fps)

                                                                                                              Fields : Lower Field First 

 

When I check "edit quality presets"   It shows  Export Settings -  MPEG2 Blu-ray,    1280x720p  23.976

 

                                                                    Summary:

                                                                    Output:           1280x720 23.976  De-interlaced

                                                                     Source           1920 x 1080  23.98,  Lower

 

                                                                     Basic Video Settings:

 

                                                                                                     1280x720,  23.976 

                                                                                                      Field Order  None(progressive)

 

I guess It just seem like there is conflicing info with the Fields and with the Frame Rate.

 

Is this the way it is supposed to be or do I need to customize the settings?

 

Thank you in advance for being nice.

    There are 2 sets of "edit quality" presets: DVD and Bluray. Be sure you are setting the ones for DVD. Also be sure you are lookng at the DVD Transcode Status columns in the Project Panel, and not the ones further to the right for Bluray.

     

    For DVD, you will be using MPEG2-DVD. There are many issues in setting the rates manually.

     

    You might also try settingh the DVD Transcode settings to Automatic.

    Stan,

     

     

     

    Ok..just to clarify.  Sorry for the long delay.

     

     

     

       When I start encore and I get the "new project" window,  I select DVD and

    under the transcode settings, it shows Fields: Lower Field First.   

     

    Is this ok?   I guess I would think it would be None or Progressive

     

     

     

    Thanks

     

    Ted

    If you want to avoid field issues, export from Premiere to mpeg2-dvd and import into Encore.

    This way Encore will not re-encode and you can ignore the lower fiels message.
