MPEG2-DVD Export Problem Pr Version 23.0.0 Build (63)

I am attempting to author a DVD. Begin on Pr by clicking from Edit to Export. The Export screen looks fine, nice and sharp. Then change the output Format to MPEG2-DVD and the Export screen becomes out of focus and the resulting video file is also out of focus. Is this a bug that has been introduced to the export function?

I hope to have saved the day by re-installing the previous Pr version and that does seem to work with the MPG2-DVD version.

I have a really big problem because the only way I can distribute this project is on DVD and customers are expecting DVD immediately. I can create a really good MPG2-DVD file and use Encore to write the DVD. The work around is to make a MPG video file and let Encore create the files and write them to a DVD. Encore procuces a very pixelated DVD.

Hi Adam,

Sorry for the frustrating issue. I have not heard of this issue. Can you give us more details about your system and media so we can try to reproduce the issue? Here are the details: How do I write a bug report?

 

Thanks,
Kevin

I really don't have time to write a bug report. I would like you to write the bug report. Currently Pr version 23 still produces a an unusable MPEG2-DVD file while version 22 produces a usuable MPEG2-DVD file. I do not want to an older version of Pr because I will never know when the bug is fixed. The pictures below show V23 setup to export an H.264 file (very clear), V22 setup to export a MPEG2-DVD file (clear enough), and V23 setup to export a MPEG2-DVD file (lousy). Please do something about this bug since it has not been fixed in subsequent updates.

NTSC DVD is 720x480, the Pixel Aspec Ratio (PAR) has been changed so you cannot just compare a 4K H.264 file with a DVD-file. In short, going from 4K to DVD will always look really bad.

 

To use V22 you can install Adobe Media Encoder 22.6.3. Export from Premiere Pro 2023 as a Apple ProRes file and use that file in Adobe Media Encoder 22.6.3 and encode it to MPEG2-DVD. That´s one way how you can work around the issue.
