Ann Bens Apr 27, 2010 3:04 PM (in response to Igor Valentovitch)CS3 does not do a very good job of downscaling HD to SD.
Have a look at this:

2. Re: Share your exporting workflow for HD content
Igor Valentovitch Apr 27, 2010 3:21 PM (in response to Ann Bens)Thank you for the link. I'll atudy and try it.
My questions probably sound stupid as I'm new to video-editing.
I'm coming from film photography and I did a lot of reading on video shooting and editing but for some reason haven;t come across nice
description of how exactly to export the edited HD footage.
My point is that I aim to export footage shot in HD into a HD format (if there is such a phenomenon) that can be burned onto a BD disc or played on the WD HD media player I mentioned above. That is HDV-->HD video. I assume this is possible with CS3 but don't know how. Is there anything I can read on this topic?
Please, excuse me for the stupid questions.
Igor

Ann Bens Apr 27, 2010 3:37 PM (in response to Igor Valentovitch)No stupid questions only stupid answers.
You can export your HD content as BluRay mpeg or BR-H264.
Have a look at the export settings in de Adobe Media Encoder.

4. Re: Share your exporting workflow for HD content
Igor Valentovitch Apr 28, 2010 3:28 PM (in response to Ann Bens)Thank you Ann. I followed your advice but still face some problems. Here is what I did:
1. Took my original AVCHD footage and converted it in .AVI files using Cineform Prospect HD.
2. Imported and edited the footage in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
3. Exported the edited footage using the 'MPEG-2 Blu Ray' preset in the Adobe Media Encoder
4. Ended up with two files: the video in .M2V and audio in WAV.
This posed a new dilemma: how do I play these files on my Western Digital HD Media Player?
Should I use another converter to combine the M2V and WAV files into one playable file?
Or, I should use a software to burn those two files onto a DVD and play them on my DVD player?
I want to avoid burning BD discs as I don't have a BD burner at the moment.
In short, please help me understand how to export HDV edited content --> HD files with less possible loss of quality and to be able to
play the exported files either on on a regular DVD or even better to play them from
an external hard drive connected to my Western Digital HD Media Player. Here are the formats that the player supports:
Video - AVI (Xvid, AVC, MPEG1/2/4), MPG/MPEG, VOB, MKV (h.264, x.264, AVC, MPEG1/2/4, VC-1), TS/TP/M2T (MPEG1/2/4, AVC, VC-1), MP4/MOV (MPEG4, h.264), M2TS, WMV9
I guess many people faced the same predicament but I cannot find literature on the topic. Please help.
Thank you!

5. Re: Share your exporting workflow for HD content
sync2rhythm Apr 29, 2010 11:45 AM (in response to Igor Valentovitch)All the files I've seen for the WD Media Player have been:
1920x1080 - h.264/.mov's... so that's what I started doing.
I did an overnight batch Transcode of a few different 1920x1080 HD formats in Squeeze to 1920x1080 - h.264/.mov's for a WD Player last week and had no complaints.
I would say edit your footage as usual then export 1920x1080 - h.264/.mov's.

Igor Valentovitch Apr 29, 2010 10:52 PM (in response to sync2rhythm)Thanks Sync2Rhythm.
I did as you suggested but after exporting in BD-h.264 I ended up again with two files: M4V file (video) and WAV file (sound).
The WD HD Media Player plays 'black' screen and a message 'no audio' pops out. I guess the exported file is not fully supported by the WD player,
Any ideas? Probably I should combine the video with the sound file into one but how?
Thanks
