video formats???

[Jorge442]

Hi everyone!!

long time no see!!

I´ve been working on a video for my band Primate using Premiere and Vegas.........thing is I want to render the final product to be seen on a regular DVD player. I tried the VCD feature on Nero but it compressed the video too much (from 500 Megs to 25!), looked crappy and the sound was out of synch......

as a matter of fact, I even have problems exporting as a ¨regular¨(uncompressed) AVI....I mean, it seems to work but my computer (WMP) won´t play it........

rendering as a windows media file works(on my PC), but the quality suffers........

what´sthe right way of doing it?

BTW, the video was captured at 728x480....the final video is B/W letterbox......



thanks!!!!

are you going to be burning it onto a DVD?

if not ur gonna have the Crappy VCD quality on a CD

also the reason why ur computer cant play it uncompressed
is because your computers not fast enough...
there is so much information coming through in an uncrompressed
video file that most computers cant handle it
thats one of the reasons videos are compressed

windows media gives nice results.

VCD is actually a pretty low quality norm. You are better of using either DV-compression or something similar to DVD (MPEG2).

Good quality video will still be huge. Especially compared to audio.

If you don't have a DVD REcorder, try the SVCD option in Nero, it uses Mpeg2 compresion quality

[Mr_Seven]

In Premire Pro you just choose >file>export>to DVD.

It brings up a dialog box that steps you through 1 dialog box and a save window. That's it. It's super easy. I just burned a 28min video to DVD and it worked great on all my home DVD players. I was really pleased to find the output quality very good. Oh, just a hint, start the process at night and return to it in the morning

Thanks for the replies!!

Darren, I do not have a DVD burner....will that option in Premiere still work??

I will also try that SVCD.....how good in MPEG2?

thanks again,

Jorge: el MPEG2 es utilizado por el DVD para la compresión de vídeo. Utiliza la mejor razón de calidad/compresión y vé los resultados.

hey guys, I´m going to have to excuse myself a moment to reply to Felipe in Spanish. Thanks.



Hola Felipe, gracias!

voy a tratar lo del MPEG2 hoy mismo.............

ya volviste a Chile?? De qué parte eres? Yo estoy viviendo en Santiago. Viví en Florida por 13 años y tuve la oportunidad de grabar muchas bandas, incluyendo la mía y también aprendí a masterizar producciones profesionales. Desde que volví he mezclado y masterizado un par de CD´s de bandas chilenas y también realicé otros trabajos (una serie de CD´s de meditación)....me gustaría saber cuales son tus planes una vez que regreses, a lo mejor nos podríamos ayudar el uno al otro....

saludos!

oh,man.......
I found the SVCD format in Nero, but it sez I have to buy the MPEG2 codec in order to use it :=(

Vegas requires registration......

In Premiere I do not have the option to export as MPEG either

I guess I have to register Vegas......




thanks!
