      Hello, I have a 150 minutes full hd video clip. is it possible to burn whole clip into one dvd ? if YES, is it clear ? if No, should i split into 2 DVDs ? and what is the best bitrate (VBR 2 pass) for 90 or 150 minutes video ? does it have forumla or something ?

          You do not burn HD to a DVD... export from Premiere Pro using the MPEG2-DVD preset and import the 2 files (audio and video) in Encore for authoring

           

          Depending on the subject of your video, you MAY be able to write everything to a dual layer DVD... but if you have lots of movement (such as sports) your quality will be bad

           

          CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 may help

            DVD is standard definition, not HD. And yes, you can burn 150 minutes onto one DVD. If it is single layer, the quality hit may be more than you want. If you go to a dual layer DVD, you must have a layer break, and each part (before and after the break) must be smaller than half the disk. Remember that a DVD is not really 4.7 gig...

             

            Search this forum for "HD to SD." In versions of Premiere Pro/Adobe Media Encoder since CS6, you can use the "scale to fill" crop setting to handle the small black bars that appear if you scale down HD to SD without any cropping.

             

            Bitrate calculator:

            http://dvd-hq.info/bitrate_calculator.php

            (Your 150 minutes with a 192mb audio stream on a single layer disk gives an average bitrate of 3750 - probably not good quality. On a dual layer disk, 7000.)

             

            Jeff Pulera's shorthand:

            "When encoding MPEG-2 DVD in AME, a good way to estimate encoding rate is 560/minutes = rate. Your example of 115 minutes comes out to about 4.8 data rate, maybe go 4.7 for safety. For shorter vids, consider 8 as a max rate for video (audio gets added on top of that)."

            (Your 150 here, gives 3733.)
