1. Re: Encore cs4 "Automatic" Transcode settings does not respect 16/9 AVCHD footage
Bill Hunt Feb 3, 2010 11:54 AM (in response to Ciro Cozzolino - Italy)Going back to PrPro, can you give us the full settings for your Sequences?
Good luck,
Hunt

John T Smith Feb 3, 2010 3:46 PM (in response to Ciro Cozzolino - Italy)First, you may not create a DVD with those screen dimensions, you need to scale the video in Premiere Pro to export a file that is legal on a DVD
When you do that, I think the PAR for 16:9 is 1.2 not 1.0

4. Re: Encore cs4 "Automatic" Transcode settings does not respect 16/9 AVCHD footage
Ciro Cozzolino - Italy Feb 4, 2010 2:25 AM (in response to John T Smith)Hi,
I did the HD2SD scaling in PrPro/export/mpegDVD according to Jeff Bellune TUTORIAL (adapted to my PAL needs), then imported m2v and wav materials in a brand new Encore project.
Unfortunately, while in both playing and previewing I got nice stuff, when i started burning DVD, Encore reports PGC error in the timelines.
I read forum on PGC error and I found it a common issue.
Now it's 3 days of troubles and I'll accomodate with 4/3 letterboxed...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Jeff Bellune Feb 4, 2010 6:00 AM (in response to Ciro Cozzolino - Italy)How is your brand-new project constructed:
Menus?
Timelines?
Slideshows?
Did you replace, move or modify *any* of your assets while Encore was closed? While Encore was open?

Ciro Cozzolino - Italy Feb 4, 2010 6:34 AM (in response to Jeff Bellune)Hi Jeff,
my Encore project consist of 3 timelines and 1 menu to allow play them separately.
I did not move, replace or modify any asset, as I start the new project with .m2v and .wav files already encoded by AME (MPEG2DVD). Now I'm trying to reencode the 3 sequences in 25P mode hoping that this was the point. In your (useful) tutorial you scale from HD to SD in different ways (all within NTSC standard).
As I have AVCHD material shooted and edited in PrPro at 1920x1080 25fps, I scaled it encoding to MPEG2 DVD PAL widescreen (cropping 15up and 15down to wipe out the left and right frame little black stripes), and imported in Encore as timelines.
AME says that I have to wait 30 min more to finish encoding (3 hrs to scale 25 mins of sequences!).
Thank you Jeff

Ardeche DVD Feb 4, 2010 7:37 AM (in response to Ciro Cozzolino - Italy)Hi
I am doing AVCHD 1920 * 1080,
Montage in this formart with Première Pro CS4
Then I open a Blu-ray format project in Encore,
Using dynamic link, I introduce all my files in 1920 * 1080
and than I use the DVD (instead of Blu Ray) generation and it works very well

Ciro Cozzolino - Italy Feb 4, 2010 11:09 AM (in response to Ardeche DVD)Hi Alain,
I tried your way, but results are the same as my first attempt, i mean my DVD still shows at 4/3 letterboxed video.
I still need to have it at native 16/9 frame aspect. You know, one thing is to "zoom" with 16/9 displays a letterboxed 4/3 and different thing is to view native 16/9 on a 16/9 display. It means "quite no" processing the signal, resulting in better quality display.
In CS3 I just send my sequences to DVD from PrPro and I got native 16/9 DVD. That seems to be impossible with CS4.
Regards
