Exporting 25P PAL HDV to 16:9 DVD from Media Composer 3 using TMPGEnc
Below are the settings I used to export 25P PAL HDV to 16:9 DVD from Media Composer 3 using TMPGEnc. I got pretty decent results but if anyone has any suggested improvements I would be very glad to hear them
First you must transcode the sequence footage since exporting a Quicktime reference file does not work in Media Composer 3. Transcode basically creates a new sequence and the associated video files – which will be in the new format. You can still edit the sequence after transcoding. This can lead to loss of audio but restarting Media Composer fixed this problem for me. Transcoding Put your sequence to be transcoded into a new empty bin as lots of files will be created within it Ensure all your tracks are selected R click sequence Export… Options Select Consolidate/Transcode Select the Transcode button Tick the Create New Sequence box Tick the Convert Video box and select DNxHD – TR 120 MXF (The Avid high def codec) Use the default 50 frame handle length Creating a Quicktime Reference File For widescreen HDV exported from MC 3. Selected 'export...' by right clicking on the new transcoded sequence and under options select:- Export: Quicktime reference Defaults: Digital Mastering Flatten video tracks: ticked Fill spaces with black: ticked Render all video effects: ticked Display aspect ratio was set to 4:3 square pixel (1440 x 1080) - then check the 16:9 flag at the encoding stage Audio format: WAVE Sample rate: project Sample bit depth: project Use network media refs: unticked Use Avid DV Codec: unticked Color levels: RGB 601/709 Encoding Ready for DVD Using TMPGEnc Open the Quicktime reference file in TMPGEnc There are lots of headings under which you can select options… Clip properties Disp mode: progressive Field order: should be greyed out Aspect ratio: display 16:9 Frame rate: 25 fps Format DVD standard mpeg file Video system:PAL Encode mode: prioritise quality Aspect ratio: 16:9 specifications Rate control mode: VBR (average bitrate) Audio format: Dolby Digital Encode/bitrate Settings Video size: 720 x 576 pixels Lock video size: unticked Average video bitrate (VBR): 7500 kb/s Maximum bitrate: 7500 kb/s Minimum bitrate: 3000 kb/s Pass count: 2 Allow padding to avoid video minimum bitrate break: ticked Limit maximum bitrate to 8000 kb/s: ticked Audio bitrate: 224 kb/s Video Encode mode: prioritise quality Size: 720 x 576 Aspect ratio: display 16:9 Rate control mode: VBR DC component precision: 10 bit Display mode: interlaced Motion search precision: highest with error correction Phew! |
