    What is best encoding/sizing option?  Premiere Pro/Encore

    zorrocbr Community Member

      I have heard some people say that assets should be encoded before being brought into encore, others say to use dynamic link.  If I am going to go the encode first route, I would do this in Premiere Pro CS5.

       

       

      If I am taking a 720 X 540 (1.0)  30.0 fps 48000 hz Mpeg 4 asset and want to convert this to dvd what is the best setting in Premiere Pro?

       

      Do I create a sequence which is 720 X 480 (0.9091)   29.97    48000 hz and then when exporting use the following settings:

      Format  MPEG 2 DVD

      Preset    Match Source attributes highest quality

      Or do I change this to custom settings:

      Format:  MPEG2

      Preset   Custom

      Change the quality setting to 5

      TV Standard NTSC

      Frame rate   Do I leave it at the default of 29.97 or do I change this to 30?

      Pixel Aspect Ratio- Do I leave this at standard 4:3 (0.909) or change this to square pixels (1.0)?

      Profile and Main do I leave these at the defaults?   Main

       

       

      Does it make any difference if the ultimate output will be on a 25 GB blu ray disk?
