Question

Very poor quality of DVD made in ENCORE without using Pr Pro?!!

Hi all,

Im making a DVD in Encore, videos shot in 1920 1080 exported 720 576... but the footage looks far worse????

I DID NOT use Premiere Pro at all. all the work was done via ENCORE and PHOTOSHOP.

When I built the DVD I still have loads of empty space on the actual disk, SO how could I increase the quality?  

I contacted Adobe but they do not assist any one with any ENCORE issues over the phone or via online chat room.!!!!

Here is the only the only place that I can rise this issues...

Any help?

Cheers

Do you have realistic expectations for what 720X576 will look like once downrezzed from HD? "Far worse" than what? From the 1920x1080, yes. But, yes, you may also be having other issues with a bad quality transcode.

What are your transcode settings? Post a screenshot. Bitrate is critical.

Encore does not use the best encoder. Are you setting the preferences to use Adobe Media Encoder and using "transcode now"?

This is one of the times that the cuda hardware can be useful. The downrezzing from AME/PR has improved.

Set the export scaling to "scale to fill" to avoid thin black lines on the left and right.

Hi Stan,

Thanks for your reply.

The quality looks worse then other DVDs,. I'm aware of loosing a lot of the quality to create a DVD but the outcome I'm getting is very poor.

The transcode settings are greyed out, and the export setting are set to mpeg2-dvd.

The weird thing is: when I play it on a PC or a DVD player the quality is somewhat acceptable but the same file on a mac looks very poor. Still I believe the resolution should be much better.

Those are the project default settings. On the asset, not the timeline, right click and pick revert to original. Also before this change your Encore preferences so you're using Adobe Media encoder for the transcoding. Then right click on the asset and select transcode settings. Modify the quality presets as needed to get a bit rate that is as high as you can use without making a disk to full. Do not use the automatic setting. I can write more when I'm home later.
