Export Settings- Match Source- Adaptive High BitRate

[animationlife]

Hello everyone.

After Finishing Editing, a 1920 x 1080 Footage,. I want to copy It to a D.V.D.

This is not going to the Web, and this Is not for the purpose of Archival the Master.  Its going to play In the Computer, In a place like a Restuarant, with a Big Monitor,   Therefore I want to Export to H.264 Format. I notice, I have a Choice of Match Source- HighBitRate, or Adaptive High BitRate.

Also, when I check Use Maximum Render Quality, the preset jumps to Custom. Which settings you recommend for the best result.

Also, I noticed Inside Bitrate settings- Target Bitrate [ Mbs]:, with Adaptive High BirRate is on 15.2.  If I Drag the slider all the way to the right, It reaches the Maximum Target Bitrate which is 50, and the file size Jumps from 198 MB to 643 MB.

Here is my question, since, the Movie Is not going for the web, and I dont have to deal with Streaming Issue, and I can have up to 4Gig of Space In DVD, Is it going to

make any different to Drag the Target Bitrate to the Max ?

Which settings you recommend for the best result If I wnatthis top play in the computer

Thank you very much.

When you start adjusting any of the video export settings, you will see the change to Custom. This is not a problem - just reflecting that your settings no longer match the orginal preset.

Below is a video guiding the export settings I found a while back. There are probably many others on the web.

It suggests a target bitrate of 14 and maximum of 16. I  think this is high. I tend to do between 6 to 8. I doubt you'll see much of a difference in quality between this and 14 to 16 but the file size will be much higher in the later. It is overkill to go up to 50.

So to your question - you can go to a high bitrate but would not go to the full 50. It will be very large in size and may not play all that smoothly. The reasons being:

- If it is playing off a DVD, even if the DVD can store a large file, it may have a maximum bandwith that is lower than your video's datarate. That can mean the video playback could be choppy.

- RAM could also be an issue.

Dear Dean.

I watched the Linked  that you provided me. He Is saying that you should Change the bitrate from VBR, 1 Pass to VBR, 2 Pass.

Also He Is saying: Change the profile from Main to High. And Change the Target Bitrate to 14, and Maximum Bitrate to 16.

I think he was Demonstrating a Gaming Video.

What about  Match Source- HighBitRate, or Adaptive High BitRate ?

Thank you very much

Even though the link I pointed to is for a gaming video, the settings and process still applies.

Variable Bit Rate (VBR) - 2 Pass is better than 1 Pass. It will take about twice as long to export but will be higher in quality. It may not be that noticeable though so some people just go for 1 pass to save time.

Main to High  Look at the profiles below. Different profiles are more compatible for a particular playback device - say a phone vs computer.

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC - Wikipedia

Match source - just transfers the options to the Export Settings dialog. If you're going to be changing the bitrate, then it doesn't really matter if you choose match source or not.

If you want to make a VIDEO dvd you use MPEG2-DVD preset. (all other codec will get re-encoded) to use in Encore to author.

If you want HD content on a DVD disk you make a Bluray iso and burn that to DVD disk. You do need a BD player to play such a disk.

If you want just the DATA on a dvd disk i would not use a dvd disk but rather a usb device, then you can retain the hd quality.

You only need to check Max Render Quality if you do not have a dedicated videocard.

Ms. Ann.

A Client wants to copy the 2 minute Video Clip, to the Computer, and Played It from the Computer Directly to the monitor.

I am not planning to Burn a D.V.D, Otherwise I would use Encore.

I did not know that If you copy the Video Clip to the D.V.D, rather than USB Card, you will loose HD Quality ?

I thought Its all Digital Format ?

So Technically,If you Copy the Clip to the D.V.D, and later Fromt the D.V.D Past It to your Computer, you would loose HD Quality, than Copy past From the USB Hub or Memory Card ?

Thank you very mcuh

Working on a response to your post in Encore, where you are exploring the option of looping from a BD disk.

Here, the key answer (or question for you) is Ann's last point above:

> If you want just the DATA on a dvd disk i would not use a dvd disk but rather a usb device, then you can retain the hd quality.

Copy the file to the USB disk, then plug into computer and either play from there, or copy to the computer's harddrive.

And yes, you lose no quality if you are simply copying the file itself onto a DVD/BD disk and using that to copy to the computer.

Looping the file on the computer depends on the player being used by the computer.

Dear Stan.

I finally got it working. At First I exported as a MPEG-2, but I had some Issues In Encore.

Later I Exported as; H.264, and Inside Encore I followed your Instruction as: "set the end action of the single timeline to itself"

it worked very well, and I did see it in the big Monitor, which looked vey good.

I noticed that I also had a choice of Exporting the Clip as: H.264 Blu-ray.  Did it make any different If I exported as H.264 Blu-ray rather Exporting High bitrate or Adaptive High bitrate ?

Thank you very mcuh.

You can see this link to dissolve your doubt.

Here's my simple advice.

I think the Match Source - Adaptive High Bitrate will give very good results for most people and situations.  Only change the settings if the first try isn't good enough.

Don't use Maximum Render Quality.  It doesn't do what you think it does.

Do use Maximum Bit Depth.  I can improve the results.
