Hello everyone,
I am currently shooting video on a Sony Z1U, I shoot in HD 1080 and edit on adobe CS3. To explain my purpose, here is what I do; I shoot video, edit on Premiere and when I'm done editing I want to create a video file (mpg, AVI..Whatever looks good) so I can put on a disk and take it to church and then they play it on their big screen on Sundays. Well I'm lost on what format to do it in!!! So far Ive tried quick time, windows movie file but they look horrible!!!!! the quality doesn't look near as good as the original clips, not even close, its grainy and looks weird on some transition. Please help me find the right format or process to do it. Again I edit on adobe cs3 and am on a pc on windows 7.

Just choose File > Export to Encore. It makes perfect DVDs. It won't be HD but then no DVD-Video will.

Unless you're trying to play back from PC rather than disc. There are a variety of formats but it depends on your playback equipment. Tell us more. Post a screen grab of your settings if you can.
