Creating a encore project

Hi all

 

I have a small question regarding compression in Encore. I have a master version of a movie I have made that I want to burn on a DVD and on a blu-ray with Encore. I was wondering what is best: directly import my master version of 22 GB into Encore or first make an export in Premiere Pro as H264 Blu-Ray and MPEG DVD and use those exports to import in encore.

 

Thank you in advance!

Personally, I would always feed Encore with the correctly formatted assets - it seems to be far more stable when used as an assembly tool as opposed to an editor.

The PPro route os definitely best but it is a good idea to ignore the built in H.264 BD codec as it really is not very good. I would recommend the TMPGEnc Plugin instead and it is not expensive either. Far better quality too. You need to be careful with your settings (there is a learning curve but the presets make a good starting point) but the end results more than justify the time that learning this will take, plus you can always drop me a PM or a post here.

    Generally export from PR/AME is preferred. However, there were some issues (I think still are) on H.264 BD exports from PR/AME versions since 2018 (V12.1.2). If Encore will import your master, you can use Encore to transcode. You can also set Encore to use AME to transcode. I don't know if the H.264 bug will affect this is Encore is using AME.
