Encore CS6 produces Pixelated and Grainy DVDs...????

I edited my video clips in Premiere Pro CS6 (as I usually do), then sent it to CS6 Encore. The video looks grainy and pixelated on the monitor window in Encore and records it this way as well.

The image in PPro's monitor is crisp and in great focus. I shoot in HD. I've never experienced this before. Is this a bug???

Help.

I've done a 10 minute video/DVD and with more research....using Video2Brain lessons...many are free..... I realized that no matter what, DVD will look aweful unless one goes to Blueray. I wish I new how the big movie makers can make such gorgeous DVD's unless they are still using film. As I have learned, my full HD AVCHD video is compressed to the standard DVD size...then its stretched to fit a full HD TV... I guess its like takeing a 300dpi full res Tif image, downsizing to a 72dpi jpeg and then stretching it to fit 1920 x 1080pixels... ;-)

I know exactly what you're talking about regarding the pixelated-looking edges...this is something that has also caused me some frustration, but I now have a solution.

What I think is happening is Encore is taking the footage and transcoding it to the default settings, which is interlaced...unfortunately, there looks to be no way to change this initial setting. What you get from this is Encore doubling up every other line of resolution, so instead of 480 horizontal lines, you get 240 lines, doubled up.

Here is how to fix this:

In your Encore project panel, right-click on your Permiere Pro Sequence and choose "Transcode Settings...".

Now click on "Edit Quality Presets...".

From here, you should see far more settings that can be changed.

Make sure "MPEG2-DVD" is selected for the "Format".

Then, scroll down to "Field Order" and choose "None (Progressive)".

From here, you can also change various quality settings. Once you've decided on the quality, click "OK".

This will bring up a dialog box to name your new preset.

Once you confirm its new name, make sure it is selected for "Quality Preset" and click "OK". Now, your sequence should list this preset in the "DVD transcode Settings" column.

Now you should be able to build as before, but without the interlacing artifacts.

Let us know if/how this works for you.

I am having the same problems with burning a dvd using Encore. All my clips are shot in HD and look good in premier pro and also once I export the video. But as soon as I take it to Encore the quality goes down and after I burned a DVD the video is still very pixelated. Is there any chance someone has found a solution to this problem?

If you want to keep your hd image quality make bd disks and not dvd disk.

DVD is Standard Definition, no way to change that.

I know this is old now, but also note, encoding to MPEG2 (for DVD's) using the CPU (through Media Encoder) produces much better results than does the MPEG2 codec the uses the GPU. Just finished a documentary and was preparing it for DVD. During fades to black, I would get grey macroblock errors on the first full-black frame. Also the encode quality was very poor. Rather than exporting directly from the timeline, I decided to queue to Media Encoder (which on CS6, only uses the CPU). While this increased the render time from 20 minutes up to 55 minutes (for a 57-minute show), the resultant file was of much higher quality (less mosquito noise, no macroblock errors, less pixelation). Both of these encodes had the exact same parameters. Exact. I really wish they would re-write the codecs that use the GPU. When I switched from CS5 to CS6, I noticed H.264 GPU encodes (with identical settings) did not look as good in CS6. Coding is a lot of work, but I would think things would get better in later revision, not worse.

Well it seems to have worked! Sorry for the bother, but I hope my posts may help someone else in the future!

You can also encode directly from Premiere, and if you have the supported hardware, it will use your graphics card to downscale the HD to SD, producing the best results. If you export an HD master from Premiere, then use Encore or the Adobe Media Encoder by itself to downscale (not using a dynamic linked sequence from Premiere), it does not use the graphics card to downscale, producing lower quality results.

apologies, i'm new to premiere and encore. what do you mean by "encode directly from Premiere"? i'm very interested on your reply but can you please make it a bit more simple so a newbie like me can understand it a bit more? thanks for your help.

What is your source footage and your PR sequence settings and Encore project settings. What you are seeing is before or after you transcode?

You need to provide step by step details of what you are doing... from your original video files and project settings, to exactly how you are using Encore

Screen shots work well to SHOW people what you are doing http://forums.adobe.com/thread/592070?tstart=30

I'll do my best.. I shoot achd full hd MTS files are used.

I don't change any settings in Encore. It doesn't give me any real choices.

My settings in PPro CS6 (upgraded from CS5.5) I use the Master Collection.

Win 7

Sequence Settings:

AVCHD 1080i Square Pixel

29.97 frame/sec

1920x1080 16:9

Square Pixels 1.0

Fields: Upper field first

Preview File Format: I-frame only mpeg

codec: MPEG I-Frame

In PPro the video looks great.

I used Adobe Dynamic Link to send my file to Encore.

It transcodes once I have set up the location where the Encore file will be saved.

Max Audio bitrate: 8.0

Codec: MPEG 2

720 x 400

I don't seem to have any options to change these except for the bitrate that can go up to 9...

Below is a screen shot of my PPro project.. its a bit small... but I think you can make out how clear the image is.

Image of screen I receive when I send to Encore:

Image of settings:

Screen shot of project in Encore...to be built onto a DVD.

A close up of the pixelation.

Screen shot of image in PPro.. you can see the difference.

All updates are current as well.

If I have missed anything you feel would be helpful please ask.

Cheers Kate.... and thanks in advance.

As a test, do not use dynamic link

Export from PPro as either MPEG2-DVD or Widescreen DV AVI and then author in Encore

My personal choice (CS5) is to export as DV AVI so I may let Encore use the automatic transcoding setting to make a "best fit" of time to DVD
